Avatar: The Last Airbender is an animated TV series that follows the journey of young children that can manipulate and control the elements. Being a series I used to watch when I was younger it's been an influence to me for a very long time simply because it's an animation.
However, I feel that it has a lot of relevance to my project at the moment, particularly in the movement of water in unnatural ways. I really like the way that the water appears to have a lot of energy within this animation and the way that the lines are very simple yet effective. This is definitely something that I would like to capture within my animation, yet I am aware that I won't be able to create an animation of this quality at such an early stage, so I may not be able to create the exact same effect.
Not only do I like the water movement, I also like the overall style of the animation. I like the simple lines and the way that colour isn't overused. This has influenced me to think about the range of colours I use within my animation and to think about how too much or too little colour will effect how my animation is perceived.
Not only do these things appeal to me, but I feel that it provides a good example of how digital animation can be used in various ways, as it differs from the previous animations I have looked at, and it has reminded me that animations don't have to be realistic to be effective.
