Ryan

Ryan was an extremely trippy look into the downfall of a Canadian animator, named Ryan. The film was a short created by another animator. Though not completely my style, I was able to see firsthand how expressive animation can be. The narrative style was pretty unique, too- the story was told in sections dealing with the people in Ryan's life. The cartoon versions of people showed scars through creative means- like bars of color or missing bones. Some of the depictions were kind of cringe-worthy to me, but ultimately effective.
