Campaign Brief

For our current project we were told to make an animation to inform people about the rights of children.

My group chose to do WaterAid to inform people about the lack of water. We used the UNICEF website to get information and ideas about what is going on in the world. The reason we chose to do it on water was because water is an essential and vital part of life yet many countries lack the simple ability to obtain it.

Inspiration to make animations came from Terry Gilliam, the Monty Python animator. Examples of his animations are as followed:

This animation is meant to be humorous. Terry Gilliam does this by using people with odd-looking faces and colourful backgrounds. The voiceover is almost humorous as well which goes with the humorous idea of the whole animation.

This animation is probably supposed to be more humorous than the previous one. The animation is very simple and the faces are again very distorted to make them humorous.

Our second inspiration came from when we went to the Rodchenko & Popova exhibition.

The two are linked because they also do a lot of montages by cutting up images and putting them together to make collages kind of like how Monty Python makes his animations.
