For the upcoming open studio in art class, I hope to draw inspiration from the stop motion movie adaption of Neil Gaimen's critically acclaimed children's novel, Coraline. If I do stop motion animation, which I very well might, this nearly two hour movie will certainly inspire me. Also, even if I do not do end up doing a project using stop motion, the mood, color scheme and overall concept can certainly be inspiration.
I felt this film was very cohesive plot wise as well as being funny and entertaining. Even though certain aspects of the video may seem outdated, the quality of other aspects allows the work to shine on. Because of the lack of dialogue and over exaggerated acting the film earns it's own an aesthetic beauty, oppose to the enhanced realism of modern film (with sound). The film through seemingly seamless shots tells a story efficiently, concisely and at some points with impressively clever wit.
