Telling Stories Animations

08 April 2017

A selection of animations from today’s animation screening about Telling Stories.

Recommendations

Stanley by Suzie Templeton (2000) UK 7m

Link to the official page (requires enabling Adobe Flash Player).

A hilarious film that is a masterful display of how to portray characters quickly while keep them believable.

Hedgehog in the Fog by Yuri Norstein (1975) Russia 10m30s

An old classic. The short uses a very interesting technique whose age clearly shows–I think part of the enjoyment that I receive from animation is thinking about its creation, often left only unseen through the seams of the final work.

This version may be an unofficial post to Youtube. I believe the original (in Russian) can be found here.
