Here we have a collection of idents from E4 that aren't animated a great deal, however definitely use plasticine and stop motion. The objects within these idents sort of 'appear' and then move, but they 'appear' in time with the audio which is like a high frequency sound, almost grainy like, so it matches really well! And I also think it is pretty clever, because though they don't move a lot, the sound forces you into thinking that they are moving, which is a great trick for future reference.
All of the musical idents here feature E4 characters which have some sort of animal shaped head. They are sporting the classic E4 colour scheme of purple on their suits which is known to distinguish the company really well. Though these characters don't move, they are being filmed and then in what I presume is in post-production, the artist has computer generated expressions and facial features to make them come alive.
I wouldn't say that this aesthetic of animation is 100% my style but I do really enjoy looking at it. I love how the objects to set the mis en scene appear gradually in the beginning, through stop motion and I also love how sound is incorporated really well, which is something I have yet to look at! I found these animations really interesting and I would like to experiment with some of the aspects within them.
