This practitioner produces a body of drawn work which she makes short animations from. They are extremely stylised stop-motion pieces which use traditional animation. Each frame is clearly hand drawn which is a style i would like to adopt in my own work
Molly Storey
This stop-motion model maker for Laika studios creates giant mechanical characters much like the one in the picture. Ambitiously, the models are enormous and have mechanical light up eyes. This has reminded me how many resources you can use to create stop-motion sets and characters.
Ian Mcque
This is an illustrator who has a very distinctive style. The linear drawings would be good for many aspects of my own work, whether it is concept art, storyboards or stylised traditional animation. The subjects of his work also interest me. As the film I am working on is sci-fi, the generally futuristic vehicles and environments he draws are inspirational.
Theflippestflipbooks
On the subject of traditional animation, the use of literal flip books is also an idea which interests me. With this instagram page, I found that the drawings were in essence very simplistic. However with these simple lines the idea is communicated very well. This is a technique which would be very helpful and time saving when creating my own traditional animations.
Blamo toys
This high end toy maker creates interesting characters which, with an armature underneath it, would be very aesthetic characters to animate. Using very simple techniques with stuffing and nice materials, the characters look very effective. This has reminded me to consider lots of materials when creating characters for stop-motion.
Joe Pascale
These computer animations play with people in realistic looking backgrounds. When using Maya this sort of animation would look effective. The distortion used would also work well within other animations.
