BSA106- World Animation Overview

A lot of the animation created between the 1930's and 1940's was aimed at propaganda for WW2. There were varying styles of animation dependent on which country it was made in, as some were more progressive and adventurers than others.

For some countries they had to make propaganda (Japan, Russia and Germany)

Animation was used as a public service to portray information and propaganda.

My favourite animators of this time are:

• Halas and Batchelor (these are my project pioneers)
• Norman Mc Laren (I liked the visual sounds, it reminds me of a music video created for Cosmo Sheldrake where the fish represent different sounds as they go across the screen, called Wriggle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpQhVl-WkHo)
• Anthony Gross and Hector Hoppin (liked the fast movements, almost as if the characters we dancing.)
