The classic element research

I watched UP during the production because I remember the main character is a balloon seller as well. I could understand how the professional animators animate balloon and the design of the balloon truck. 



The balloon are realistic due to the 3D perspective and the balloon truck is small and compact. I think it is interesting how the balloon truck is very logical and realistic in an animation and this makes audience to believe in the story more. I think increase the reliability is an essential path towards a successful animation because it raises the reaonance of the audience and the characters'  emotion will attach to them.


The balloon strings are important tools to show the movement of the balloons. They are the secondary reaction and also help direct the balloons. Every balloon move differently so each of them should be independently drawn in order to get the individuality. When the balloon is in stationary, the string is striaght and move slightly with wind. I found this reference extremely useful and I hope I can deliver the property of balloon in 2D in my animation.
