Study Task: Compare the two Animations

The two animation I have chosen are the Short Vision and the Duck Amuck, which after viewing both of then, I found share less similarities but have huge differences on varies aspects. I am going the compare these two animations, and to conclude the differences and similarities of both of them.
The Short Vision is an animation with a water colour painting style vision, with old fashioned audio track and a narrator with deep voice. The first half of the animation were comparatively quiet and narrates the same message recurred 3 times but just the shifts of the character. It used the technique of redrawing on the previous painting in order to create the continuous effect when filming each painting. It is deconstructive and touches lightly on political, and slightly abstract at the same time. The meaning of the animation depends on what the audience interpreted. It contains some sensitive and horror scene, therefore restricted the audience by age.

The Duck Amuck is a formal animation with a suitable length that is mainly made to amuse the audience, whilst the age group of the audience is considered lower. It is a digitally drawn animation, with amusing sound effect and a voice cover of the main character, and again it reinforced the point that the purpose of this animation falls on entertaining mainly. It conveys the information smartly to the audience by having the main character talking in the first person to the audience out of the screen, he interacts with the background of the animation as well.


In comparison of these two animations, the style of drawing are totally different when one is hand-drawn whilst the other one digitally drawn, the Duck Amuck face a younger age group of audience, oppositely the Short Vision faces a comparatively mature age group. It has a clearer story line though it is wild, and the Duck Amuck does not have a main story but to serve the purpose of entertaining instead. Both animations have got a narrator either behind the scene or the voice of the character.
