This week we learned the basics of experimental animations and watched several videos to strengthen the idea of this type of animation.
The first experimental animation I saw was ‘Balance’
In the air, hovering over a four-sided flat plate, on which stand five men, the same appearance, the same attire, the same expressionless faces, distinguished only by the different numbers they carry behind them. In the center of the plate is an invisible fulcrum, and to balance it, the five men must find the right position. Originally, simply standing in the center would have been enough, but, like us, they were curious about the world and wanted to know what it was like down there. And with the arrival of a box, this balance is upset. The box brings music, excitement, but also imbalance, disagreement, and struggle.
