Leeds International Film Festival...

The films broadcasted at Leeds International Film Festival were of a very high standard. From the line up, four films in particular stood out to me.

The first is 'Tsunami'. This charming film is an example of hybrid animation, creating a 3D animation to give the impression that it's painted on 2D animation software.


The second, 'Snowfall', is animated incredibly well - smooth, slick movements in a soft stylised manner.



'Pawo' has a simple style yet it works well for the concept of the story. It is animated very well in 2D.


Lastly is 'Warm Snow', the only stop motion film on this list, created unusually with sand, which gives the piece a naturally rough look, yet it is accompanied by smooth animation.


All of these films use a variety of animation techniques; the predominant one overall at this event was computer generated animation. The possibilities with technology seem to be endless, with a variety of artists from around the world interpreting this art form in many different ways.
