Decaff

Decaff - an interesting series of films by New Zealand (originally Hamilton) animator Greg Page. Although the dark yet comedic tone is quite different to my own work, this film is quite inspiring in terms of the animation process and the associated aesthetics.


Decaff (1994)

Despite the simplicity of the sets and low production values this film is still highly engaging and for me, a lot more enjoyable than many animations which I have seen with far greater technical qualities. In relating this film back to concepts of animated space and on screen realities it is interesting to consider that regardless of the aesthetic disconnection to our own world, that in the context of the film and by nature of the stop motion medium, a cinematic reality of its own is formed which is entirely compelling.
