We went to Manchester Animation Festival (MAF) last
November, where we attended some master classes and watched the some animations
that is nominated to be given an award. Coming to MAF is an eye-opening
experience for me because, initially, my knowledge of animation is limited to
mainstream animated films and the videos of animated films uploaded by CGBros,
but now I am aware of the independent animation which shows that an animation artist
can do so much more rather than working on 3D CGI animated films. This gave me
a relief since I am not a tech savvy person, and solely working on 3D seems
overwhelming. Also, I figured that I would like to make animations which
focuses on the building up of suspense more than the character because I am impressed with an
animation titled 'Teeth', one of the short film entries that made into the
festival. Without exposing the face character, this animation effectively builds up the horrific suspense throughout the film.
Some other animations that I liked from the festival (which I'd like to go through but I don't have time to do it):
- Guida
- We Can't Live Without Cosmos
- Klementhro (Skwigly)
- The Moustache
