Graduation films 1 - Manchester Animation Festival

My big brother
I loved the cubic style it was very unique, using characters with a cardboard aesthetic and minecraft style pixelated backgrounds.

Connected
Loved the style of this 3D animation, the characters have oil painted features, with very pale unhealthy looking skin, reflective of the unhappy state the characters obviously live in as they are controlled by a greater being. 

The moustache 
Thoroughly entertaining. A great example of how shot composition, actions and sound effects can really elevate humour. 

I'm good with plants 
I loved the meaning within this one. It stresses the importance of becoming more Eco-friendly and respectful to the environment. In once scene the stars fall and plants are grown from them, connoting of how plants are a gift from God and should be respected. At one point in the narrative the protagonist steals a plant, when he is preoccupied in stealing, a water pipe bursts and ends up flooding everything, symbolic of global warming and water levels rising for our neglect towards nature.
