Fluorescent Hill - Joey

Joey.

Here is another animation that has been created by Fluorescent Hill, Joey.  The thing that caught my eye straight away about this animation begins right at the very start, where a detailed and delicate header is drawn out in a real time effect, which looks simply amazing. It also adds a sense of age and tradition to the story even though it is not yet known what it's about. I chose this piece because it is the complete opposite of  "Spacious Thoughts," in many different ways. To start with, it would appear that this animation has been created in either 2D or 2.5D, a big change from full 3D that Spacious Thoughts was developed in. The main element of this animation appears to be rotoscoping (possibly traditionally or digitally done) and has a sepia tone running through it, which makes the film look classic, or vintage. There also seems to be a lens glare in the middle of the screen, which also adds a home-video kind of effect to the film as well. The storyline of this animation is rather strange as it begins with a stop motion piece of an old storybook opening into the beginning of the song. It shows a fox and a crow, in the wild, begin to fight and it results in the crow begin decapitated with smaller crows flying out of its throat. It then flashes onto a fox trying to fit into everyday society, with crows replacing humans, I find this quite odd but entertaining at the same time, the video looks as though it should be more gruesome and grotesque than it is, and gives a tingly and shivery sensation, which appears to be heightened by the creepy indie music that its playing along to.
