Stop Motion - Aesthetics and Materials
'This Magnificent Cake' by the Beast Animation is a good example of materials' textures creating working aesthetics for a set. Where materials to create certain look may have nothing in common with what the materials would be in real life. Yet, the world they created feels so real. It is using the texture in appropriate scale to the object far from its original purpose.
Similarly, the cling film water or the cotton clouds in fight scene in Isle of Dogs feature animation described in depth at the Manchester Animation Festival 2018 at the talk by Tim Allen and and Roy Bell, are rather nice scenes to watch.
What it means is that in animation the maker has to create an illusion of something that cannot be physically there in a frame-by-frame shot. Because the real life object cannot be manipulated frame by frame, it has to be a substitute that will create the illusion or will carry the same meaning through visual expression. Often the makes have to experiment to find the right solution.
