Preparatory Task Part 1:The D in David

The D in David

The D in David Short Film by Michelle Yi and Yaron Farkash from Ringling college of art and design. When the Statue of David is humiliated by the other artworks for being naked, David leaves his podium to escape the museum.

I chose this film because I like the style, it's obviously created with 3D animation but it's style is reminiscent of traditional hand drawn animation, which it also uses for the paintings on the wall.

The subject of the short film is funny, I haven't never thought of artwork or mannequins in that way and the fact that they have given David a very vulnerable and shy personality is very endearing so it's quite interesting that's how the animators interpreted him.
