Foreign Animation Major

This sentence comes from Anomalisa Disorder, the Oscar nominated best animation in 2015. The animation story is very simple. It tells a middle-aged man's mental crisis, how he met someone who made him excited when he was on a business trip, how he broke the stagnant life with extraordinary behavior, and how he gave up his excitement and returned to the boring imprisonment of life.

However, such a simple animation story breaks the viewer's defense line with all kinds of details we are familiar with in life, as well as all kinds of "visual perception". The shooting technique of this film: stop motion animation/Stop Motion Animation deepens the theme of animation with the mechanical sense of puppets.

(From the film Anomalisa Disorder)

Not only the Oscar nominated Anomalisa Disorder, but many of the works we are familiar with are completed in the way of stop motion animation, such as Wes Anderson/Wes Anderson, the director of Budapest Hotel, his new work "Island of Dogs" this year, and "The Great Fox Dad" shot a few years ago are all stop motion animation works.

       What is stop motion animation?

The principle of stop motion animation is simply to play static images one by one continuously, so it is also called frame by frame animation. Taking stop motion animation requires great care and patience. Although this shooting method is time-consuming, it has a unique texture that can not be replaced by actors. Use stop motion animation to shoot the "self introduction" submitted to the college, and show yourself in stop motion animation Animation major study abroad The creativity of overseas works collection project is also advocated by natural light.

As Christmas is approaching, you may be able to use stop motion animation to have a lovely, detailed and unique Christmas, without plastic Christmas trees and small colored lights falling gold powder, and to use fairy like cute animation to have a delicate and unique Christmas.
