Zoologic by Nicole Mitchell

March 28th, 2009

I can’t claim to be an expert in this area, but I’ve seen a lot of animation and read a lot of books, and this appealing short has the following elements of a successful creative work:

  • It all starts with a great story.
  • Leave in only what’s necessary, nothing more.
  • Show, don’t tell.

We also had a life drawing class at Perth Zoo recently, and it gives me a thrill to see the lemurs, penguins and bats again (and in cartoon form to boot)! Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to present Zoologic by Nicole Mitchell:
