Omer Ben David ''For The Remainder"

''All the movement, the sinewy grace, of the cat is there but as the screenshot demonstrates, the drawing has the effect of the bare brushstrokes of watery paint, albeit the computer animation is very much in 3D.''

This animation that has been drawn using some digital software with wet-like brush stroke settings has been done very well.

  • As  the animation progresses, the soft drawing of the characters are beautifully done, the movement is interesting as the bodies aren't fully drawn in detail but the soft strokes in motion help.
  • The sound in this animation definitely adds that extra life to it, for example when the wave of water hit the spider, it made a sound familiar to a musical glass notation.
  • The storyline is simple, the house cat bids farewell to his home and this animation illustrates its final moment.
  • It is also noticeable how the background is only worked into if it is significant to the scene, which means that the viewer can focus on the beauty of the character drawings and the light strokes used than trying to gather all that is going on in each scene.
  • The swift movement of the animation helps to keep the animation going at a soft pace without any huge action going on, and if there is any huge action, the sound eases the viewer into it.
