Animator VS Animation

"The Animator VS Animation"

By Alan Becker

Music by Sarah Eide

First of all, this mix of live action and animation works really well! Probably one of the sweetest things I've ever watched. The simplicity of the characters inside the computer make the sole thing better than if they were all individual full developed characters, because I love the idea that a character in its early stages still has the capability to wreck it's creator's life! Even the detail on the actual computer screen makes the whole thing so realistic. I like the fact that this is an animation about animation, and its a reminder that every creation has to start somewhere and every character can have ULTIMATE POWER. I think it represents the fact that some artists let their work dominate their life and this animation takes a literal view on this. I love the fact that this little stick figure has such a bold personality. It reminds me that not all animations have to be overly complicated in order to be awesome.
