Animations/Typograpghy

Jean Francois is a french singer, who wrote a song called Coen la tour de pise,  we watched this music video today.

The singing was rather boring and dull, and gave a depressive feeling... and to be fair he wasn't exactly a good singer... But one thing that saved it was the smooth guitar and drums.
As for the video it was superbly done with neon typography and how amazingly timed they came in with the singing.

Example drawing 1

Example Drawing 2

This is a link to the video we watched today called " Who am i and what i want to be":

 The video is quich sketch animation and it is very well done if at times disturbing, the video for obvious reasons is 18+, as it involves a lot of drawn nudity and violent scenes. Its based and a novel about a presumed mad man named peter who is talking about his wierd outcasted life he eats multiple animals dead and alive... Even though there is speculation to whether its a true story...

Charles Burns:

We then watched Charles Burns fear of the dark..  Examples of his more detailed drawings as they are neater with more detail in the form of shading... Here are examples..

Drawing Example 1

Drawing Example 2

Here is the fear of the dark video..

The fear of the dark video is strange as a corprate style business man leaves from home into the woods where he see a mantis like insect, which he then captures and takes home. As he comes home you see the shading in the animation change as the lighting does, theres dead insects collected on the wall, and strange animals in jar with liquid like a stasis chamber. He puts the insect under his bed and it escapes while he sleeps.

                                                            Comparison:

The main differences for me are the drawing style and detail... In who i am and what i want to be, its quite scratchy.quick and likes detail.... where as in fear of the dark the detailed shading makes it have a 3D effect...

The similarities are that they are both drawn and not computer generated images (CGI), they are both strange and to an extent Malicious in the sense there dark and quite sinister styles.

Born	March 1965 age 46 London
Nationality	English
Known for	Director of films, commercials and Music videos

The first video by Glazer we watched was called 'Surfers' a Guinness advert-

          

The video was very entertaining, as the horses came out of the waves and the surfers surfed away in a panic... I'd didn't really see the actually point as it didn't really relate to guiness...
He also did 'Swim black'... Which is basically just a man swimming to beat a pint a Guiness being poured from a nozzle in a pub.. Again i see no obvious point.. but this time it was boring..
