Week 8: Mark Fiore

We watched a couple of Fiore's animtions in class, and I liked them because they were a good example of the simple animations we can create in this class. For the most part, the drawings in his animations are still, and there is once character that moves its face (eyes, eyebrows, mouth, etc) and sometimes moves its body a bit. These shorts are mainly for sending a quick message about something relevent in the news, and less about the complicated/extravagant animation. This is just another example of how meaning can come across in a strong way even if the way it is portrayed is not spectacular. Simple effects like a glowing light from a computer monitor give the shorts life and personality.
