Professianal Project Review

The Project

The project I looked at is the trailer to the upcoming animated movie The Boss Baby. The trailer shows a quick overview of the main plot of the movie and also of a couple of the major characters that will be in the movie. The trailer introduces the Templetons and their son Tim who suddenly has a new baby brother who wears a suit and carries a briefcase. The new sibling puts the house in chaos and Tim suspects something is going on eventually finding out that this baby brother can talk and is almost like n adult in a babies body.

Analysis

This trailer uses many principals of animation well such as there is a very good use of squash and stretch since the characters are created in a more cartoony style their movements especially talking can have exaggerated movement. The trailer included a slow motion part where someone is talking and it showcases the way the cheeks and mouth move in a squash and stretch style. the trailer also has a story line and covers the major points of a story making it enjoyable to watch. Ease in and out is also used especially when the baby throws a crayon or plate. There is a pretty good use of most of the principals of animation the only thing that is a little of is some things such as the proportions and movements but part of that is the animation style.

How Can I Use This

The major thing I have gotten out of this trailer that I could use in my work is how much the little details matter. The facial movement and all the decoration in the background really help to tell the story and really add a lot to the final work. Taking time on the small thing really helps the overall animation and can be a great way to make your animation stand out.

Strengths and weaknesses

The creator did a really good job with the settings and all the small details, they also did great with telling a complete story even though the trailer is only 1:45 Min. they could improve on the characters a little bit maybe explaining a little more about the parents or what it was like before the addition of the baby brother.
