'Timber' is an animated short I viewed at BAF, and has already influenced me in my Process and Production brief. For one, I immediately had to look back at this animation, as I distinctly remember it's opening titles:
There is just something about the aesthetic of this opening sequence that I am captivated by. To anyone else it may just look like a bit of text but I love exaggerated and emphasised thick writing in a title, and therefore instantly loved this one. I also liked the snow falling in the background and the texture of wood in the name 'Timber', just to add extra emphasis.
There is also audio in this sequence which is quite unusual. There is wind whistling so you already know the setting will be in winter, and as I have already tested out my inter titles, I am open to adding sound to them as another stretch as I didn't think about this. I may do this at the end though if I manage my time well, just because this may be a bit of extra work that is not entirely necessary.
As for the actual contents of the animation, I noticed like the other two pieces I have researched, that the fire is once again not very realistic, but rather minimalistic. I don't know if this is a sign for me to also do it this way, but the more I am seeing it being displayed like this, the more I want to try it in this manner. The colour palette is very similar to that of 'Alight', though I think I would like to perhaps add more red.
Either way this animation has been very influential to me, and has actually been my first influential starting point.
