Reflection:
- In the short story paperman there is a man and a girl, the man finds the women very beautiful and wants to date her. He saw her from the building across from him and uses his stack of paper and makes paper airplanes to grab her attention but he could not succeed and his boss is not happy so he gives him more work but he runs out . He see's the red lipstick airplane goes to a bunch other paper airplanes and bring them all to the man and they drag him to the train station and the red lipstick plane grabs the women and they meet at the train station again.
- my favourite moment from the story was when the red lipstick airplane went to the other airplane and practically gave them life is so they could put 2 people who like each other together and the man was about to give up.
How would you describe or characterize the artwork in the film?
- The artwork in the film is very beautiful and very nicely done.
How did the artwork influence the mood of the story?
- The artwork influence the story by there personality the way they acted around each other and how their facial expression were.
Discuss the use of colour:
- The film was mainly only black and white except for the woman's red lips and the lip imprint on the piece of paper. I think they made the red stick out more is because it's the colour of love and our hearts are red.
Sound:
- Even though there was no dialogue the music went with there feelings, and you could tell what was going on even though they weren't talking.
Part 3:
Summarize some of the key points of ''short story about shorts'' the bonus feature we viewed as a class:
- Short story are small but entertaining, there like appetizer. It takes a lot of time to create an animation ( about 5-6 years). Short animations are good to test out new technology on. Sometimes the short story could be better than the actual film. Short story animators still hold onto really old drawings.
