Pablo Neruda. The Men (2D Animation)

Share Collapse

For my 2nd year term 2 university assignment, I had to created a Animation, 2D or 3D based on one of 7 different poems. I chose the poem 'The Men', by Pablo Neruda. I orginally was going to make this entire thing in 3D then wanted to just make the backgrounds in 3D , but have a 2D charatcer. I was advise that taking that route would alter the visual look of my backgrounds. So I decided to make the entire thing in 2D animation, which turned out better than expected, althoughI culd have improved on it more. I altered the poem to fit the time span of my animation and added additional things to set the mood of the environment. Defiantly the best visual animation I have done so far, here is my interpretation of The Men, by Pablo Neruda. Designed, animated, coloured and edited by me, Karlton Dolo.

Your work was really good. I am a fan of Pablo Neruda, just not this poem. So I feel that you'd get a great response if you applied this talent to other poems.

Thanks for your response. This was a 2nd year assignment and we had many other poems. This was the only pablo neruda poem on the list of peoms assigned to us.

Cool art and animation style. I have a bit of a hard time taking the animation seriously because of it though. Some of the monologue doesn't really make a lot of sense. "Three glorious zeros floating above this one" is a weird line that doesn't make much sense. I don't get where the one zero is. You definitely have potential though, so keep it up!

KarltoonLD responds:

Thank you for responding. The part about the three glorious zero's is actaully' Three glorious zeros that float themselves over my very own zero'. If that makes some sense.
