I did research into existing plasticine animations, this was just to generally see how they created their characters, how they made them move, how the story was carried out etc.
What I liked with the Rabbit and Deer is that they used mixed media, and it worked really well. this was down to the story and how the character interatcted with eactother. I also really liked the set design here, it's so smiple, and it's really enjoyable to watch.
In this short, the character are made to look like toys, its humerous and I think hat using plasticine and moving the characters in the way you'd imagine them to, quite stiff and would have to rock on the base to walk, it adds to the comical story. and with plastine, it's easy on the eye, the horse does daily human things, you accept that, it it were live action you've think, bit weird. House exploding, fine. it's not meant to be realistic and creating it in stop motion, allows you to get away with more.
Similar to what I talked about with the perivious video, things like animals talking is more acceptable in cartoons. but I think if this kind of idea was done using realistic looking animals, it's have looks really creepy, so i think depending on on who your audience is and what you 're trying to communicate, depends of the style of your characters. Creature Comforts is menat to be a funny family friendly animation. and using plasticine helps to do that.
Pingu is another simple set stop motion, and it's also able to be understood by anyone in the world, as Pingu does not speak. And beacuse the environment penguins live, this made set design easier as they just needed a blue sky background and an snowy floor. and again you accept this from the start, Pingu is off to school, all he has to do is walk out his igloo and sit down at his desk which is outside. it's minilaistic, and I like that and would like to try and create a similar thing for our animation.
