Alexandre Dubosc

I came across some amazing artists and animators from the website: thisiscolossal.com where artists blog about their work. Alexandre Dubosc for me certainly stood out with his 'Cakescopes' which are rotascopes he intricately produces with cake and sweet foods. I find is mesmerisingly intricate and beautiful the animations that come out of these Cakescopes. I also find that the artist has beautifully chosen out the Foley to accompany the animation, the music and sound effects are so bold and effective especially the crunching noises that you'd hear with food- overall many onomatopoeic sound effects used.

'Melting Pop'
Melting Pop is the first animation I watched from this artist, and I was blown away and instantly wanting to watch more. The amount of time and effort that it must've taken is mind blowing and I can

only appreciate and admire the techniques of stop motion and rotascoping used throughout. There's something really satisfying about the sound of the popcorn and the crackling of the fire, with quirky extras added in like the Pacman zooming round the Cakescope.

'The Cakescope of Burton's Team'

Similarly to the last animation's technique, this piece was a tribute to Tim Burton that the animator had produced, the animation involved quirky resemblances to Burton's style and collaborations such as the symbols of batman appearing to symbolise Burton's involvement in the batman series of films.
