David Shrigley
An illustrator I've used as research before, Shrigley always achieves my approval. This animation expresses his random sense of humour and deliberate imperfections with his use of line. The animation, along with his others, create narratives that seem like something that would happen in everyday life, but then become twisted somehow. It's performed in an innocent childish way too which expands his abilities in allowing random things to occur.
Peter Millard
When playing this, have the volume turned down. Kept making me jump with the random silences and then the sudden outbursts of noise! I stumbled across Millard recently and realized he's doing exactly the same method as me, only with far more frames I imagine. The childish-like crude behaviour in this animation makes me laugh. I also noticed he applies colour in his animations; something I could possibly begin doing myself.
Willis Earl Beal
This animation was made using graphite. It's a very useful medium because it does all the things a pencil does, but better! The various shadings and lines used throughout this animation evoked a very sombre atmosphere along side the song which I believe Beal scored himself as well. The string instrument (probably acoustic guitar) being played alongside the quiet melodic singing sounds as though it was recorded through something very old - the sort of quality you hear with old blues music. This emphasized character's moody nature as he went about his day with a glum expression. Each of the frames had a grainy, scratchy effect like an old film roll. This could potentially work within my animation since it discusses in context with the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
