Research and inspration- Oktapodi

This is a funny short animation about the love of two octopus's and their devotion to stay together. Beginning with showing them in a cooks fish tank we see the males desperate attempts to save his girl friend as she is taken away for a delivery. Successfully getting her out of the delivery van they try and escape to towards the ocean; jumping from swimming pool to swimming pool. Unfortunaltly the delivery guy does not give up and attemps to get her back but just as he fails a bird comes and gets the male octopus. The animation then ends as we see the female prepare to fight for her man!

This is the complete opposite to "Replay" and "The Piano". It's funny but also quite true, the way that we would fight for our loved ones. I like the animating in this animation; the exaggeration. I also like the first scene where it shows the octopus's thoughts and the style of animation changes from CG to 2D flash animation. I will also experiment with use of different media in my animation, I think that it does work with the complete change but I will also try having some of the mixed media with the CG animation.
