During my journey through extended practice I strayed a little far from my original style of animations. I did keep it quite dark and emotional but towards the end and through my research into animation competitions, I realised I wasn't creating 'weird' animations any more which was quite an upsetting realisation. I brought a lot of my inspiration from David Firth, my favourite animator.
The thing I like with David Firths animations is that the stories he is trying to tell aren't your typical in your face story but rather hidden stories and meanings disguised by the weird and wonderful scripts and animations.
This got me thinking, how can I hold onto my dark animation style in CGI animation, which seemed hard to achieve due to the precision of Maya. So I decided to see how the macabre is approached with CGI animation.
The only thing close to what I was looking for was this:
Which isn't even full CGI. So I think I've discovered a gap in the animation world! If I can create short CGI animations with a macabre and dark sentiment I reckon I could be quite innovative. I am really looking forward to pursuing this venture as I can do 2 minute animations similar to what David firth does but holding onto my appreciation for CGI!
