This
is animation is more like a narrative story of dots which I think is the most
interesting part. It also reminds me of Minimalism—a dot dances in the middle
of the scene, and transits to another shapes or splits into several part. Viewers
could concentrate with the movement of dots with completely no distractions. In
addition, the movement and the audio track are very cohesive. I am not sure if
Norman is the first person who combine the electronic sound track with
animation but it matches images perfectly.
To
be honest, I did not quite get the purpose of this short animation. Despite the
fact that every footages flash, I still caught some continuity footages, such
as arch and piano turned into lines and dropped on the bottom. All the elements
are incongruity and not linear. The audio of rings, woman’s voice still on, but
there is no images on the screen.
It
is a funny short clay motion-stop animation. Nick uses a new perspective to describe
the relationship of human and animals. Animals are interviews by us and tell
their qualities of their new home. Literally, someone who is accept interview are
all politics, famous stars and it is also a serious and solemn moment. But when
it changes to animal, it becomes more funny and grounded. They act like real
human. The lion, his gestures and complains what a small zoo it is. Kuala wears
glasses and satisfied with living in the zoo, etc. For that moment, I feel like
I stand their position which is very intriguing.
