Maker Vs Marker

This is a stop motion piece created by Johnny Lawrence based from the street fighter series with elements of Dragon Ball Z style sequences as well as transformers and the matrix with sound track was created by Brian Sadler.
I liked this animation as it shows clever interaction between drawings and real life (the persons hand) using stop motion. It also has a comical value and so is enjoyable to watch. I liked the way the animator used the hand to symbolise different characters such as a person when it had two fingers pointed down (acting as the legs) a serpent when he has the fingers all pinched forward and with the little finger being the eye and when the hand is the gun. Whats good about this is the drawing animations that are happening in the animation are emphasised and reflect the shape of the hand and show us clearly that that is what the hand is meant to be. also the fact that he is using hand gestures to interact with the drawn character is more playful and personal than just drawing the whole thing or using real props its more suggestive and imaginative and again reflecting the nature of doodles.
