My chosen animation comes from the Documentary Series ‘Monster Bug Wars’. What differentiates my animations from the ones we viewed last time is the particular style. As the name suggests, MBW is a tv series showcasing real battles between bugs in a ‘nature documentary meets wrestling’ style. It features standard 3D animation on all black background. The animation plays at the begging and middle of fights to showcase anatomy and the different weapons each bug utilizes. Yes, it is very dramatic and often cheesy. But that’s what makes it a fun watch. The animations play their part in making the fights appear like a huge spectacle, and the simplicity the cgi enhances the main focus of the short stories.
