The moon and the son
This was my favorite animation of the course. I love history and so loved seeing the old photographs of Canemaker and his family. I'm also Italian, and from New York, so all the references to my heritage and my hometown really hit home for me.
The images in this animation were done in a way that each and every object had a symbol and meaning. I liked how his father's elderly face turned into a moon, a happy moon, and he being the son was depicted in a variety of ways throughout his life.
The best animations were the ones which connected the antique photographs and the newspaper headlines. I also liked how he incorporated various aspects of the court into the images. Using a voice over also really helped to make this appear to be real-time footage. I think narration is important when animating a life story-- it gives you a sense of the true meaning of the symbols and photographs.
