Animation Review: 850 Meters

850 Meters (2013)
Director: Joeri Christiaen
Producer: Perrine Gauthier
Studio: Lunanime, Thuristar

I really enjoyed this short film for its use of pace to make the story more captivating the humorous style of the animated characters also makes it more enjoyable to watch. Christiaen has used slow motion moments and fast paced scenes to keep the audience watching. I have been studying the use of pace for my animatic in BDM125 where action scenes are faster and scenery shots are longer and take more time to develop. This film uses slow motion shots in the action sequences to emphasize the comedic side of the story. I also liked how the story line twisted a lot making it impossible to guess the outcome of the short. The art style is unique, I like how the background is slightly blurred and out of focus to make the characters stand out with crisp edges so we focus more on the performance then the overall artwork in the scene.
