Putting themselves in the pictures

07/10/13

An article concerning how most Hollywood films are aimed at male dominance was published in 1975. There were three animators mentioned in the article, Joann Quinn, Candy Guard and Alison de Vere. All three animators created animations that explore the nature of femininity and the experiences of being female.

Girls night out (1987) a very female orientated animation. Created by Joann Quinn. I quite liked this animation as it was rather funny and I liked way she only animated a couple of scenes and then put them on a loop. In order to create a story however, she used dialogue which made the scenes seem different.


Another animation we watched was by Alison de Vere called The Black Dog. A very interesting animation that was quite disturbing in some parts. To me it seemed like the dog was her guardian as it was always leading her on the right path.
