Animation - Animation vs. Animator

Animation vs. Animator was a video I found on YouTube. I found it after being shown different examples on the whiteboard animation.

It was a very complex video but I found it amazing. The narrative was intricate which contrasted the simple plot. The clip begins with a stick man character fighting his creator, and rebelling in everyway possible. In order to stop him, his creator draws guns and other obstacles which inevitably fail as the stick man turns these weapons on the artist. The storyline is action packed and climaxes when the character of the stick man manages to duplicate himself, almost like forming an army against his creator.

Alon Becker was the designer of this animation, using Adobe Flash. Although I haven’t looked at any of his previous work before now, this animation stood out to me and I found it completely amazing. This is because the simplicity of the idea was humorous while still having that wow factor about it.
