Figli-Migli

In this animation, everything was strictly black and white. Although there was not too much detail- there was so much going on! Throughout the entire video, I found myself mesmerized by the music and the animation. I thought it was brilliant how the animator created each step, movement, expression, and flight to be coordinated with a beat of music. Also, repetition was very important in this video. The birds were all simultaneously moving as though they were one. It is amazing how the animator formed this video so the birds would be like a "military." I also found it interesting how every character was a simple silhouette, but to me, they looked so complex. I also loved how he would put real life pictures through the windows. This created a great contrast and showed the difference between reality and fiction. Lastly, I really enjoyed the story-line. I felt it was very original how the birds were sick of the cuckoo clock and had so much life and personality to them. I really enjoyed this film and am still blown away by the music and animation!
