A short love story in stop motion is a mix between lots of different animation types. It mainly uses stop motion and claymation, although it has other animation types including video and computer edits. The characters are all made differently, starting with the little girl who starts off the animation. She is made out of clay, but as she grows older she progresses to be a 2D animation and a partial computer edit. All the sets are made from carboard and wood, that Carlos Lascano uses as replicas before editing them digitally. The storyline is simple yet affective due to the background music, and the dramatic affect of the colour tone. The story starts with a little girl daydreaming and doodling in a class room, ending up with two of the birds shes drawn unwinding all the tales behind the life she progresses to lead. Its a touching story because it show her growing up, and eventually falling in love, having a husband and becoming an old married woman. The story is affective to its audience because of the music played in the background and the general scene of the animation. Both these factors combine together to create an atmosphere of love, bringing the animation to life. It targets peoples affectionate emotions, and makes you feel all warm inside. I think that the imagery is more important than the storyline in this animation, because there's so many different types of imagery involved. The story is easy to follow, but working out what different animation technique represents is quite complex. I can use the idea of different animation types for my animation, mixing ideas together. I like the idea of editing in real life features such as eyes also, but i think that would be a bit too complex to do. Other animations like this that i've seen include Harvey Crumpet because of the contrast in lighting and the overall unique factor about both animations. I haven't had a chance to watch anymore of Carlos lascano's animations yet, but im told there very similar to this. i look forward to watching them.
