Peer Review

For my peer review I have chosen Tristan Wuyt's 'The Lion and The Monkey'.

I thought this was a very entertaining piece of animation, from the start to the finish it kept me interested. It flowed smoothly, the lighting and the use of the toys and, the clever use of thread as the net was exceptional. Tristan created his own 'jungle' with wood and other bits of plants which worked amazingly for it was set in a jungle type of theme and the fact that he used real materials gave the scene a far more authentic feel. 

All the scenes fit together perfectly as if made by a professional, I could tell that he put time, effort and thought into the making of this animation. I enjoyed the fact he even thought about the movement of the background, the production was given a realistic effect by this movement. 
Also the fluidity he gave to the characters added to the slick execution of this classic stop motion animation.

The only criticism of this animation I would give is perhaps to use various light effects to give the illusion of time passing. Maybe the use of night and day? This could be used in a comic fashion to show a more anxious emotion to the monkey.
