'Keepers of the Flame' is a little short actually about a metaphorical flame as opposed to a literal/physical one, however there is a flame being animated in it. This little flame represents one in which we all have, and it is up to us whether it goes out or not. This is a sweet, motivational little short, but it is the physical animation of the flame which I am most interested in.
The short starts off by having an opening title white displays the production company's name 'Fablevision':
This little opening title actually move/shakes which is something I am interested in applying to my opening and ending sequences. I think I could do this by writing the title of my animation once in whichever style I like and then making a new layer on Photoshop and altering it a little bit and then making a little animation out of it. And again, it is white on black which I also like.
The only way I can describe the flame in this animation is that it 'wiggles' or more so, 'sways'. I think I like the idea of having swaying flames instead of sporadic ones, at least after the flame has initially sparked. I think this video is also interesting because it looks as though it is done on brown paper, so as a whole, the visual style of the piece is quite vintage looking, as opposed to contemporary digital. In saying that, it makes the flame appear rather neutral. I like how it moves, but it doesn't look hot. Perhaps because it is supposed to me a metaphorical flame, and the character does hold the flame for the duration of the video, but still I love the concept and how it is applied.
There is no audio for me to analyse/take influence from, but again I think this just emphasises how well fire is effective without noise.
