Youtube: Sora on a date

Research

This animation was found on YouTube and uses similar figures to the ones I use in my animation; however this animation is filmed, rather than photos. However it does use a few photos for movements of the figures heads or arms.

With this video, it contains non-diegetic music, which is supposable played in the setting (bar), which is the blues, making it combine very well with the setting and create a good opening. The lighting also combines well with the setting, as it was quiet dull and added to the feelings of the characters, as they were drunk and such.

In the next scene the characters are seen in a museum, where this contains more light than the other scene, making it brighter as it fits with the Egyptian theme of the room. However one part stood out to me, the creators hand was seen in the shot moving the figures, this means that he could have checked this and made sure that the camera didn’t capture him using his hand in the scene.

The whole animation had a good number of interactions with the settings, such as the character’s playing snooker at the bar and reading things in the museum on display. This makes it good as it shows that the setting wasn’t just there, they used it for a purpose.

The voiceovers of the animation were all done by one person and the non-diegetic music quietened when the characters were talking, making it clear on what they were saying, making this good. The camera recording was a little shaking, making it look a bit bad, yet it also helped making it look like the characters were moving more, even when in still motion.
