One of my favorite films is Anansi
animated by Jamie Mason. I love it for it’s classic feel and yet it has that modern John K influence as well. the poses are pushed just enough, the acting is superb and the colors are vibrant. It’s a beautiful film in my opinion, evoking a true sense of modern design. Pure eye candy. Plus if you slow the section where Anansi is thinking about which animal to talk to first you can see a host of great animal designs that are just throw aways. Some of the designs remind of Miles Thompson’s genius design work.
Enough said… Go drape your eyes in visual happiness!
