More animation inspiration

http://www.animationarena.com/mayo-animation-artist.html

This is a still frame from an animation called 'An irresponsible use of frogs' by Philip Child. I really like his style of work. it's like typical pixar but with more character. I love the expressions in the characters faces because of the characteristic 'ugliness' of the characters. What really spoke to me was the fact he was doing a fine art degree and all of this was self taught. It has given me even more inspiration to carry on battling with techniques on 3d max until I know them fluently.

Also I like the process of thought behind his narratives. He starts of with a contradiction, for example one of his stories was about what the consequences of paying for gravity would be. If you didn't pay you would float of into space. 

In terms of my own work a new narrative of my curiosity box could be contradiction in my life that have got me into awkward situations. I could bring this into by interactive game. 

Contradictions/Narratives of My Imagination
1) what if everything that you imagined came to life the next day? 
2) what if humans could fly and birds could walk? 
P.S check out the website and these ideas wont seems so weird...

Interesting. Sounds a bit like a Borges short story.
