Week Nine: ANNECY ANIMATION FESTIVAL

1990's

Caroline Leaf has a very surreal style with lot's of warm shading and expressive characters. She has animated with paint on glass, sand on glass, mixing paint and glycerine as well as scratching directly onto 70mm colour film. In "The Street" and "Two Sisters" the themes are mainly dark with subtle humour that explore human relationships.


Paul Berry was a stop frame animator who worked on well-known films such as "James and the Giant Peach" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas". His own film "The Sandman" brings a frightening character to life not only through the appearance of the models but in the way he makes the Sandman creep and dance across the set.


An Vrombaut made children's books and "64 Zoo Lane" as well as winning several awards with her short film "Little Wolf" which is an adorable 2D animation that is drawn in a very distinctive child-friendly style.


Alison Snowden and David Fine have worked together on children's shows such as "Peppa Pig" and "Shaun the Sheep". "Bob's Birthday" is a humorous 2D short about the mid-life crisis of a dentist.
