-Brief intro
- Stop motion is one of the oldest methods of animation and is still used to this day. As technology and understanding of animation advanced, so did the quality of stop motion films. Two important films that show an advancement of technique are Ladislaw Starewicz The Mascot, and Street of Crocodiles from The Brothers Quay.
-First film:
- Ladislaw Starewicz: The Mascot 1933. The film follows the journey of a toy dog named Duffy who lives in a world where toys come to life.

Based off of a story by Polish writer Bruno Schulz about a puppet exploring a museum. Uses a haunting and scratchy score by Leszek Janowski. Plot of Street of Crocodiles feels obscure and bizarre even with the context of Schulz’ story. This is due to muted colours, dark light, and familiar objects to create a bizarre space. The Brothers Quay are looking at stories like “seeing through a dirty pane of glass”. Street of Crocodiles has as feeling of being anxiously lost and hyperaware of his surroundings, with nods to Poland as a pallid character lost in a deteriorating …show more content…

The Mascot was a display for how well characters and their stories could be animated with no dialogue. Street of Crocodiles also proves this, but more so displays how an environment or setting adds to the story and conveys its main feelings through aesthetic. The Mascot is important through its flaws as well. A film so convoluted with stories that aren’t the main plot can distract and pull away from the essential message or narrative. Both films give light to the advancement of a fleshed-out and complete world. The Mascot with characters, and Street of Crocodiles with

Despite having a wide plethora of health problems, there's no question the UGA mascot is perfectly suited to cheer on the dawgs on behalf of the passionate fans the football games generate. The University of Georgia is well respected, academically, in large part due to its prestigious veterinary school. Some would find it ironic that a university, known for providing the highest quality veterinary care in the nation, employs one of the most vulnerable, unhealthy dog breeds to represent a strong and tough football team that isn't afraid of a challenge. Somehow, the university pulls it off and makes UGA easily the most likeable mascot in the SEC. Without UGA, the stadium would seem empty.

It is intended to inform viewers about the criminalization of African Americans and the United States prison boom. 13th uses rhetorical devices in its claim to persuade the viewers by using exemplum in the opening seconds of the film. President Barack Obama presents statistics, saying “the United States is home to 5% of the world’s population but is home to 25% of the world’s prisoners.” Also the film uses a hyperbole in talking about the movie Birth of a Nation produced in 1915 which portrays a black man as a violent savage who will kill white women.

The more complicated animation back then was stop-motion animation. Stop-motion is similar to traditional animation; however, stop-motion is not hand drawn. “It is any animation with the animator physically changing the scenery, take a picture, and continue the cycle to create animation” (Nyman). There are many types of stop-motion animation: clay animation uses figures made out of clay; cutout animation involves moving two-dimensional pieces of material, such as cloth and paper; model animation has animated characters interact with, and become a part of, the real world; and puppet animation involves puppet figures interacting with each other in a constructed environment, in which the puppets have armature inside to keep them still and contrasting them to move at particular joints (Nyman).

He descriptively tells the readers he grew up in a state of chaos due to war and that he did not have a peaceful childhood compared to normal kids. While he was afraid of the soldiers who are “strolling the streets and alleys” (line 8), the untroubled child in him was afraid of the “boarded-up well in the backyard” (line 4). Here, he contrasts the idea of home and foreign place by presenting different experiences that a child faced. He is showing an event that caused him to have fragmented self. He hints the readers lack of personal belonging because he has experienced war in his early youth.
