Some of these were quite strange and the storyline too dark for my liking, same as the last set of films (Professional 1). There were some that I particularly liked however; "The Kiosk", "But Milk is Important" and "When One Stops".
The trailer for "The Kiosk" by Switzerland student Anete Melece:
The main character - the woman in the kiosk - is a likeable person, since the story tells us of her dreams to get out and travel the world, which some people can relate to. Also how he events pan out make this an enjoyable film to watch, since it has a sense of humour.
The cut out, painted style is not one I'm particularly as interested in as other techniques, but it's still been cleverly made.
It's the first clip in this showreel that was shown to us on the big screen during this hour:
This video is from a musician called Phil Brookes, who composed the music for "But Milk is Important".
Directed by Eirik Gronmo Bjornsen and Anna Mantzaris, I like the story behind this animation, with cute characters and a nice style to go with it.
"When One Stops" is a story of a character who doesn't want to flow with the constantly spinning world around him, due to his recent loss. It's about how you have to let go of things or loved ones you lost and move on, because the world is still moving no matter what. I think if you find your own meaning behind any film, then you can enjoy it more, which is why I enjoyed this one.
The illustrated style and different camera angles really bring this piece alive and make you feel like you are moving - or not moving - with the main character.
