Konstantin Bronzit

For me, his name is not easy to write from memory. I apologized about this. Of course, this is not his problem, it’s mine. Because i born to be Chinese and i am not hard working on the English. The name which longer than 7 letters will be hard for me to remember. Come back to this man. He is really amazing on the animation. If you do not know his name, you must have watched his works. The left photo is him, and this comes from the Wikipedia. He is a famous animator and animation film director in Russia. On the  Wikipedia, I found his works be nominated twice for Oscars. And he works at Melnitsa Animation Studio now.

Next part, i will put some of his works, and write some feelings and what i learn from these works.

This was not his first film, but i think this was his beginning of fame. At the Ends of the Earth helped him win almost 70 awards. This short film talks about one family, they live on a mountain peak. Their house stay on the peak.

So this environment setting makes a comedy conflict ——— the house is unbalanced. If much more weight on the left, the house will tend to left, much more weight on the right, the house will tend to right. And this unbalance makes their lives be interesting.

I think, try to make a conflict will make your plot be more interesting. I wrote on the before research (the short film about own a dragon): ‘If i have … i will…’ The way of thinking like this can give a good idea for our scripts. Make a conflict and try to solve this will have a positive feeling and give the end have a new thinking room for the audience. Maybe the ending is not good, or maybe it is good. Just like this short film’s ending.

The next short film i have watched for many times. I really like this kind of story. It has a same feeling of Jimmy’s painting book which maybe named Walk to left, Walk to right. Because i only know his Chinese name, and i don’t find it’s English name on the Google. His Chinese name is 向左走，向右走. This painting book talks a story about one man and one woman, they live in the same building, the same floor. They only have one wall between them, but they never meet each other. Because one building has two part Building A and Building B,  one go outside from A gate and one get outside from B gate. They always miss, one always go left, one always go right. One day, they go to a park which has a round fountain, they meet and fall in love. But it rainy, so they leave their telephone number on the paper. They appoint to contact each other. But when they come home, they find the rain make the number be unclear. They can’t find each other even they do do many trying. They always miss. The same day, they have to leave this building. Because of the earthquake, the wall between them fall down, they see each other again. Really beautiful love story.

This short film which named Lavatory Love story, just like its name, it happens in the lavatory. One man who works in the male’s lavatory falls in love with one woman works in the female’s lavatory. The woman want to have lover, one day she found someone gave her flowers everyday. She is happy but she want to know who is that people. Finally she find him. And they love each other. They also only have one wall between them. The love story like this gives people a hope: my lover is not far away from me, when we find each other, we will love each other. Sometimes i do not feel better after watching this warm love story. I feel a little bit sad, because i am a single and i am afraid i will be single for all my life or even worst, i find someone i do not love to spend time.

This story only gives colors on the flowers which the man sent to the woman. This gives the audience feel these flowers is different from the normal life and the woman really feel different with his life because of these flowers. Sometimes simple style or color will give a different and successful outcome.

We Can’t Live Without Cosmos is a touching short film about two man who has the same dream—–fly to the Cosmos and they work hard together , practice together, compete together.  They are roommate, they look like brothers. Maybe they are truly brothers. 

I really like the part they  jump on the spring bed and dream of flying into the outer space. A really interesting detail in their normal lives. I like their interactions plots. They all be the best in the trainers of astronauts. But this outer space only need one person. So one of them go to the outer space and another one choose to be happy with him. But the person die in this travel because of the accident. And another who stay on the earth choose to stay in the astronauts’ suit to wait for his friend. In the end,  he jump on the spring bed, and find his friend in the outer space and grasp his hands.

This story talks about the  lifelong friends.

If we want to make our animation better, we should try to learn pay the way of emotions (sadness, pleasure,fear and son on ). Accumulating emotions is accumulating the details which happens every day. This is long way for me.
