The director of The Man with the Beautiful Eyes (2000) Jonathan Hodgson, brought a poem (same as title) written in 1992 by Charles Bukowski alive, through a series of beautiful images. The gaps in the narration allows the audience a breather and an opportunity for the characters to be introduced in their environment. The transition for this animation is very creative and interesting. Each scene is carefully designed, placed, build and animated for the scene following after.  Sound in this animation plays a vital role to enhance audience's experience. The  ambience sound in each scene helps us to engage with the story as the poem is being narrated even more. This animation also inspires me to work on my transitions and to use text in my animation where dialogues are found in my story. In my opinion, this is a really good example of making an animation based on a story being narrated from a poem or script.

Sudden realisation

The story is about myself. The character is me.  I could share everything about me. And I don't need to hide myself.

Hush_001


This is a compilation of footages I have done so far. Hush is an abstract interpretation of an event that happened to me when I went back to malaysia for my sister's wedding a few years ago. This animation hopes to emphasise the height of emotions as I recall my memories using forms, colours and movement. The sound will play an important part in creating the emotion too. Currently in this video the background music is absent which my composer ellis is still creating for me.
