Frame by Frame Animation

This frame by frame animation is one of the coolest I’ve seen. Similar to the street art frame by frame animation we watched in class, this video is great because it is brought to life by the movement which is perfectly put together and runs smoothly like the materials take on a life of their own. My favorite parts about this animation were the computer screen and spilt coffee number count, and the staple-shark. It’s interesting how these everyday objects become characters in the story the artist is telling with movement.

I chose this frame by frame animation because my friends found it on YouTube and became obsessed with it. Its pretty funny because of the way Marcel speaks, but also because of the way they developed her character, and use the filming like an interview with her. My favorite part in this video is when she uses a piece of lint as a dog. Hahaha

I love the way this animation begins with the artist using his touch to look like he’s manipulating the character and drawing it with his fingers right there. I like the way he not only uses frame by frame techniques with the post it notes and the story there, but adds to it by also using the space around the post it notes to have physical items in play as well as drawings. My favorite part however is the very end where he piles up the used post-it notes and brings the story backwards so we see where he started and how he developed the images.
