P2 Animation product research

Film
Horten Hears a who
The film was eleased in 2008 and produced by Blue Sky Records
while being directed by Directed by Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino,
The tartget Audience is Family friendly but directed more towards children
The purpose was to create a film that reflected and capture the spirit of Dr.Suess' Childrens book "Horten Hears A Who" making it bright colourful for the viewer
I like the attention to detail in the film especially when concering characters facial expressions and body language. They immitated the facial expressions, where suited of the voice actors of the characters. This makes the characters come alive even more because the words perfectly match the dialog



Short
Silly Symphony Skeleton Dance
Released in 1929
Produced by Walt Disney and directed by Ub Iwerks
Target audience would likely have been children but i think it is more aimed towards any ages
The purpose of the animation was to work as an accompaniment to the music and worked as a modern example of medieval European dance macbre imagery. The animation is a drawn animation. I like the movement of the skeletons because they resemble human movement while having a destinct creepy flow to it. All of the movements are accompanied with the music perfectly and this really brings it all together.

TV SERIES
The Amazing World Of Gumball
This programme first aired in may 2011and was create by Ben Bocquelete for Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network originated in America in 1992.
The animation combines 3D models, hand drawn aspects, green screened scenes and some real life objects added into the animation. The target audience is children from around 6-14 It was created for a tv series it is directed by Mic Graves. I really like the voice actors in it. Especially Darwin (Kwesi Boakye) and the combiation of different animation styles makes it really interesting and enjoyable to watch.




Web series 

Raised by Zombies 

This animated web series is directed and produced by Guy Collins it debuted in june 2012. Guy has also created many short aniamtions with no sound and a series called "All Living Things"
It was created with Mondo Media The animation is a 2d cartoon in a sketch style. The target audience is quite a broad one but it is aimed towards teenagers. It Is a distinctive series because their is no dialog or sound effects just music. I like this because the music matches the clip well and it means more things are illustrated rather than using sound which keeps your attention to the story. It was created as a short web series each episode being around 3 minutes i length







Music Video
Dead players- Yeah
This music video was released in june 2013 under the HighFocus record label for the UK hip hop group Dead Players. The video was created by Monsta and was made to accomapany the song and lyrics. It is done ina 2D animation style and it is done in a simple and colourful way. It is aimed at people from teenage upwards. I really like how effortless the movements of the characters are. It refelcts the feel of the track that it is quit sketchy and simple. It was created to help promote the song.



 TV ADVERT
The Tetley tea Folk are characters used to advertise Tetley Tea From 1973 to 2001 and then came back in 2010
John McGill Lewis created the Tea Folk in 1973 the characters were designed by studio director Tony Cattaneo and animator Ramon Modiano The adverts combined animation with live action sets, for example tea bags, cups and saucers. There has been 67 animated TV adverts created on top of a host of other advertising using the same characters. The purpose was to advertise the product and ultimately to make people buy it. I think it is done really well and incorporating the animated characters into the real life scenes. The facial expessions of the characters are really well done and it helps you relate to each character and become attatched to them. The target audience would be all ages but aimed more towards the older generation becauase they remember when they used to be around.
