Student panarama 2:
In student panarama 2, I watch 8 different students work ranging from traditional animation, drawn to 3D, but the one I enjoyed the most was Right of passage
Ride of Passage was directed Christian Bøving-Andersen from Denmark and the short animation is about a small child called Toki, who is sent into the woods by his tribe to bring back the dead of the biggest animal he can find. In return he will have gained the respect and honour of the tribe. But things don’t quite go as planned..
I like this because it uses a mix of 2d and 3d animations. At the start its 2d silhouetted and shows the right of massage (three tribe members each with a bigger animal then the other) and again at the end credits, with Toki and the chameleon. And the 3d element was beautiful animated and designed, with simple ‘chunky’ shapes and limbs.
The animation didn’t have any speech, so it relayed heavily on the action and pace of movements. But also the fantastic facial animations done to show Toki expressions and the animals. In all a beautiful animated short, and a very nice story. It’s a must see.
You can watch the short here, aswell as a making of..
