Analysis of 'Auld Sage' [IDD 301]
This week's analysis has me looking at Adam Phillips' - "Auld Sage" short animation. This was inspired by an untitled bonus track on Coldplay's - Parachutes album.
The color palette for this animation is very good, consisting of mainly dark blues and greens to give it a night time feel.
The animation starts off with a naked big foot creature walking out into the open from behind a bush with the moon casting his shadow. As he walks he is singing the song that is playing along. All the animations for the walking (including the shadow) and lighting on his body while he is walking are movie clips.
One of the key things that makes this animation a good one is Adam's close attention to detail. An example of this would be his facial expressions while he is singing and the body movement while he is walking. His arms are moving and his head is turning to add emotion and expression.
Another interesting effect that Adam did while paying attention to detail was to capture the way the moonlight looked as he walked across it and blocking off part of the light. (I'm not sure how this was achieved, but I'd like to know.) It is definitely the little things in this animation that make it stand out.
