Animation style inspiration

I would like to use various media and imagery in my final film. This would provide the dual benefit of being visually interesting whilst giving me the ability to learn a variety of skills and programmes. Below are some pictures that I am using as inspiration during the initial stages of my pre-production.





A History of...

My original idea for my final film was to make a short documentary on the history of zombies. Attached is a video called 'A History of Evil'. I would like to create something similar in terms of the short 'mockumentary' style of filmmaking. I like the humour and way that the animation flows and links between objects and scenes, however, I am keen to use mixed media, colour and a variation of visual styles in my final film.

The Fat Cat - Mole Hill Animation

I found this winner of the Depict 90 Second Film category and really loved the music, style, political undertone and character design. What I find amazing is that it is stop motion using 'etched wax'.
