I knew as soon as I saw this animation that this style appealed to me. I absolutely adore the textures, like they are copic marker pens that have bled onto thick paper, also like recycled paper. I also love the colour scheme the combination of pastels and dark colours add a light heartedness but also sombre tone to the video. I also think there is strength in the shapes of this short, especially where the little monkeys fingers are concerned the roundness on all the characters gives them added appeal which is a really nice feature. The main reason I chose to look at this short is because of the way the author characterised the fire into a solid mass and how this could be applied to any element. I like how he played with the structure and exaggerated facial features and the size of it as the story developed. The main feature I really like was the boiling of the monkeys cheeks and i think that's definitely something that can inspire my piece and i can get that naturally through hand drawing it.
I looked into the animator behind this piece who is called Delphine Dussoubs and a lot of her pieces feature layering film and animation and experimenting with textures, she has a really good eye for colour too and one animator I'll add to my 'watch out for' list.
