Artist Model & Inspiration

Artist Model - Ray Harryhouse n
An American visual effects creator, writer and producer. He created a brand of stop-motion model animation known as 'Dynamation.'

I really like how his animations served as the "special effects" of his time. He also mastered movement and smoothness in his animations very well. I really like the aesthetic and colours he used (natural as to be believable.) Harruhousen also used realistic miniture models. Although my models won't be realistic as such they will be miniature and create very life like movements as to fool you that they are real.




Fantastic Mr Fox by Wes Anderson.
Artist Model - Wes Anderson
This animation consists mainly of stop motion. I really like the lighting and the way that the characters are animated in this. It's very smooth and life like. The fox's having real hair really gives them a more life like feel (as opposed to just using clay to make them.) The cinematography in this film is really amazing as it doesn't let the fact that it's a stop motion hold it back from getting all angles possible. I will definitely try to emulate angles and lighting used in this film in my own stop motion.
