Analysis of 'Corporate Puppet' [IDD 301]
Corporate Puppet is Tony Bailey's perception of what the 'daily grind' in the corporate world can do to you.
The story is about the everyday person who gets a job with a large corporate company in the city. He has a house like everyone else and goes to work the same way everyday. At his first day on the job he meets his secretary who greets him and then he goes to his office. Upon arrival the boss comes in an yells at him. He follows him back to his office and kisses his boss' ass (literally) for 30 years. Finally he gets sick of this and climbs to the top of the huge office building and jumps off, ending his life.
The style for this is to resemble old light puppets that are held up by sticks to move around. The flickering light in the background resembles a light seen on a film projector. The color palette for this is all yellow and grays. The color palette changes at the end to grayscale after he jumps, to full color with the lifting of the screen that the puppets are projected on to. When the screen lifts behind it is a drawing of a bloody man who is laying on the ground with the large business building in the background.
The animation attempts to simulate a puppet show with the way everything in the animation moves. It is a simple and effective.

That was great. At first i thought the main characters hand was a gun when he got into the cab, but I realized it was just a pointing finger when he got in the elevator. I like how the animator uses the puppet sticks on everything,it really helps set the mood of the piece. The music really goes well too, and the high pitched squeals used for the voices was a nice touch.
