Digital Films Week7:Research

I have been looking at various videos to which have similar style of visuals to what i am hoping to achieve and have come across the main video that comes to mind which is the A-HA, Take On Me video:


The reason why i have chosen this particular video is because its black and white animation/sketches have fused really well with the live action scenes within the video particularly in the 1:43 time frame where you have a sketched woman viewing a live action male and from that perspective the camera turns to the view of the male as he turns to sketch and the woman cuts from sketched to live action and that transition stands out as it has both elements in use.

Scene starts at 3:36:

The Pagemaster which is another live action to animation film which is one that stands out in my mind because the scene of th eboy going into the book really captures how many readers are made to feel like they are part of the stories they are reading.

Also there are the colourful animated/live action videos such as Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Mary Poppins, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, James and the Giant Peach to name a few and those are the types of films that stand out due to involvement of bothe live action and animation.
