about the author: sting inspiration

I saw this animation on the Guardian and admired its simplicty and effectiveness. It appears to be made from paper and I think this probably makes a huge difference- if this was straight up digital I think it could look a little bland- the textures and slightly odd edges give it an authenticity and interestingness. Still, the piece is probably composed digitally, perhaps even in After Effects, showing that you can have that traditional animation feel even when working with AE. After seeing this I am considering using traditional methods to create my animation, perhaps even lino printing the assets. This shouldn't be too hard, considering there is little animation actually planned for my sting, but depends on how much time I have!
