Studio1-week#2-related works summary

1.Table Manners

Table Manners is a physics simulator game that tests "operations" during the dating and is released by Curve Digital, produced by Echo Chamber Games.

The player will play the right hand, and precisely control the hand movements through the keyboard and mouse, starting from choosing a dating person. Each action of feeding the burger, champagne, and pouring a glass of red wine during the date is full of danger and joy.

This game is interesting because the design of the theme is interesting and realistic, and the 3D model scene and simulation experience gives players more sense of substitution.
 

2.Man

Steve Cutts created the animated short film ‘MAN’ in 2012, which uses a character's journey to represent human damage to the natural environment.

This is a naughty, humorous, and deep animation. ‘Man’ starts with small things, such as stepping on a reptile, and then slowly starting to destroy everything. The soundtrack used 'Hall of the Mountain King' to push 'Man''s behaviour to a climax.

This work focus on staging which makes audiences always focus on the main theme. Furthermore, this animation uses one-shot. The author's connection and transformation of the scene are worth learning.

3. Ayumi Shibata paper-cut art

Japanese artist Ayumi Shibata uses a traditional Japanese paper-cut method to create paper-cut art.

Some of these works are delicate and small, which can be held in the palm, while others are large enough to walk through. Shibata sculpts individual items with dozens of layers of paper, miniature rooms, clouds and dense forests. The works were eventually housed in shiny glass containers, kept safely in books, or erected in large installations.

I think the layer or light and shadow effect of paper-cut art can also be used in animation aesthetics.
