An interesting thought from the hardest science blog

Ok decided on what brief I'm going to do. The disney brief sounds more appealing of all the briefs given. I was thinking about the the clock brief with the idea of using time as the theme for an animation. Yet the opportunity to work on a chararcter design for a story is right up my street. It's the kind of animation (in the create industy) that i would love to be doing when I've left uni.

I found this blog post on the hardest science:-

Lee Unkrich, who, having directed Toy Story 3, co-directed and edited Toy Story 2 and edited the original, is something of an expert; he has a few theories on why the latest film set people off. The most interesting is that animated movies can be more affecting than movies with real people in them. “Live action movies are someone else’s story,” he says. “With animation, audiences can’t think that. Their guards are down.” Because the characters are clearly not alive, he suggests counterintuitively, people identify with them more readily.
