For both indexical and “the illusion of life”, I chose the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit? This movie fits in indexical and illusions of life by incorporating live action and animation into one, and having fluid motions with the animated characters. I think that the goal for making animation look realistic in the real world played out really well.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is a movie about Roger Rabbit trying to get information on a scandal that involved his wife, Jessica Rabbit. But when Jessica’s affair partner is found dead, people pointed to Roger being the main suspect.
The animation was done by Richard Williams, and Walt Disney Animation Studios.
For the hand of the artist i chose Fantastic Mr. Fox, directed by Wes Anderson. I think that this movie fits in this category because of how all the puppets are made of fur and cloth, and you can easily see that they sometimes move through out the entire movie, no frames are the same.
Fantastic Mr. Fox is a movie about a fox who steals from the farmers around the area, but that causes everyone he knows, and himself, to be hunted down by said farmers.
The animation was done by 3 Mills Studios, with puppets made by Mackinnon & Saunders
