animated documentary research...

The short film 'Alive in Joburg' isn't exact what I'm intending to do but all the same it puts a different slant on the mocumentary, not too much in the way of animation but intriguing all the same...

Alive In Joburg - Neill Blomkamp from Spy Films on Vimeo.

It then became clear that this was either a spoof version or test reel for the film 'District 9", this combines an unusual style of film making and some quite realistic graphics.




This animation "Faith" by someone called Tiddojr has elements of what I would like to do with regards to some of the cut-out techniques and the book/pop up style, but they seemed to have ripped off the front cover of the book from from Shaun Tan. I wonder if he knows.



The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy contains the right kind humour and potential for a descriptive diagrammatic animation, the commentary is precisely the kind of thing I have in mind at the moment.
