It was really quite an engaging story, and the use of colour was bold and magnificent.

It has been quite refreshing to see Trnka, Ocelot and Mulloy's animations within the space of a week.
Theres not really any connection between them. Perhaps that they are all animators who have
realised their artistic integrity through a long journey of ..well animating their ideas.

...I also watched alot of Plymton's animations last week. Strangely enough, since viewing Trnka, Ocelot and Mulloy's animations, Plympton's work seems to be quite shallow and unsophisticated. Of course he's a fantastic draftsman, and very b imaginative. ..I suppose he is just operating with different kinds of ideas. His production technique errs towards improvisation, swift inspired trails of visual explorations that often are quite rough and thus rely a little on sound effects. Cartoony.
