Caroline Leaf

I don't think I have ever seen what the talented Caroline Leaf show in his projects. It was fantastic to see how she developed a unique technique making use of an atypical material (sand) that I thought it never existed in these types of films.. It is great to know there are people out there that can demonstrate incredible things and show different communicative possibilities of animation.

I read a little bit about her after class to understand how she came up with this fabulous idea. Leaf stands out from current trends in animated film. We are always watching the same animated where technology has invaded and make these films less interesting. Leaf continuous her work as an artist manipulating with a variety of different materials. During an interview talking about one of her movies "Howbeaverstolefire" She said: " It has never seemed interesting to me to use computers to do my job as an animator. I like to use my hands and manipulate everything. See how I bring to life inert materials and move them in any way my mind can imagine".

                                 

       I hope to see more of this type of animation in the film industry. Who would not love it?
