The Moon and the Sun

This story about a son's relationship with his dad is a great example of a portrait animation. The way he chose to tell the story is extremely unique. I enjoyed the use of black and white pictures and animations to tell a story. The narrated voices made the story come alive. The father's broken English tells more about where he's from. There are many details like this that bring realism to the story. The camera views kept changing to keep the audience attention. The serious tone of the story is what makes it seem realistic. However, the narrator still manages to tell the story colorfully. He couldn't express his feelings of his dad any other way. He sounds upset with his dad. He speaks highly of his mom. He used simple kid-like drawings, still pictures, and videos to portray his story. I admire the use of all these forms. I think this is what made the story so interesting.
