After watching some brilliant student works, it was time to see some short films from the pros!
One that I particularly liked was third on the list: "Marilyn Miller":
Directed by Mikey Please, he used polystyrene to create his characters and sets in this stop motion piece.
The main character is likeable, with funny puns and phrases that made the cinema laugh; I think this added to my enjoyment of the film, as it was visually pleasing from the start, with some nice motions within the animation.
Another one that stood out to me was "Mr Hublot":
This animation test make back in 2010 proved Laurent Witz was onto something with this character... He managed to make Mr Hublot likeable and friendly, yet intriguing to watch, as I am curious to the characters back story. A really nice piece of character design as well.
The actual story was interesting and unpredictable, which made it an overall good film to watch.
Overall, I wasn't particularly wowed by the rest, because I didn't particularly like the visual styles used. However I've seen a good variety of techniques used to pull off these films, which has been interesting to watch through the whole festival so far!
