Today we learnt about a man called Adam Elliot. He is an independent animator and uses real miniature clay models to create his films which takes several years to make as they there is no CGI, all effects are done in camera. All his films are based on his experiences about his family and are usually rather depressing. This is exagerated by the muted grey and black colours that he animation is shot in. However, he occasionally adds a burst of colour to draw your attention on something or create a different emotion. We watched one of his films called Mary and Max. This was about an old man, a small girl and the growing relationship between them as she gets older. I really enjoyed this animation as it was extremely well done, and the way Adam had animated his character really makes you become attatched to them.
