DepicT! Research


To begin this task I viewed several 90 second short-films from previous DepicT! competitions. This helped me to understand just how much could be done within 90 seconds. I have selected some of my favourite videos and will talk about them briefly.

Death In Space

This video is extremely impressive as it is an animation as opposed to a live-action film. It has a simple idea but its very enjoyable to watch as it is fast-paced and well-animated.

Pig dream

This animation is quite a surreal experience that shows the descent into mental illness. The image of the pig is quite scary and I think the video was designed to shock the viewer, based on this factor it was very successful.

Schatzi (darling)

This video was very dry and humorous, I really love the style of the video. I like the contrast between something that's supposed to be loving and happy (taking family photos) and the reality of the couple's relationship.
