Mark Fiore Animation


In most shots there isn't much movement. The majority of the image is static whilst the character blinks or moves their mouth. I think I will use a similar technique in my animation since it's not too complicated.




"It seems that everyone but Darren Wilson is responsible for the death of Michael Brown. It’s Michael Brown’s fault, black-on-black violence is at fault, it’s a culture of disrespect and lawbreaking that’s at fault, take your pick. Perhaps the best spew of logic came from Rudy Giuliani, who essentially said, if you black people didn’t kill yourselves so much we wouldn’t have to send so many white cops down there to kill you as well."

The video above is very relevant to my topic as Michael Brown's killing was highly profiled in the Black Lives Matter campaign and led to numerous protests in Ferguson, Missouri. Fiore uses humour to question the issues of police brutality and racism. 



This video is also relevant to my topic as it deals with issues of race and injustice, but in a more obscure manner. By using aliens as a comparison, it breaks down the issue into simple points. But furthermore the issue is made to sound surprising and absurd, thus emphasising the absurdity of the racial injustice that occurs in real life.
