1980'S
Marv Newland is probably best known for his short piece "Bambi Meets Godzilla"; he often animates jokes or gags in a cartoon-strip style such as "Gary Larson's Tales from the Far Side". Along with some TV commercials, he also worked on TV shows such as "Sesame Street" and "The PJ's".
Nicole Van Goethem worked with the themes of feminism and female liberation which was very relevant in this era as women were becoming more respected as equal to men in the creative industry. This is evident in her short 2D film "A Greek Tragedy" which uses humour to explore female/sisterly relationships and the changing place of women in society.
Raimund Krumme plays with perspective in the short "Seiltänzer" which features two characters moving constantly on a simple background in a way that constantly and cleverly causes the viewer to change the way they perceive the image.
Jonathan Hodgson teaches animation in Middlesex. "The Man with Beautiful Eyes" is a look through child's eyes at a man who would be considered a failure as an alcoholic but is considered a free spirit by the children who play in his amazing garden and have very uptight parents. The abstract, painted style reflects the children's imaginations perfectly.
Zbigniew Rybczynski created strange repeating films with figures on a green screen performing actions and reacting to the environment in such a way that they never cross each other making it almost hypnotic and quite fascinating to watch.
Mark Baker worked on "Peppa Pig" and also created animated short "The Hill Farm" which is a humorous and endearing 2D piece about the life of a farming family and how they overcome problems.
