           I found a short animated film titled Komal by Childline India and it's about child sexual abuse. While watching it, the part where Komal was getting sexually abused by her uncle sent chills down my spine even though the animation was quite light and simple in terms of graphics and colour. The short film sparked my interest to use animation as my medium for my artwork, because I think that animation gives me the ability to show various sequences of my art and it's a good opportunity for me to practise my skills on animation. However, I'd like to be less direct in showing the viewer about someone being sexually abused compared to the short film 'Komal' and be a tad bit more abstract but still quite able to understand the topic.

I was further inspired by this 2D animation titled Thought of You by Robert Woodward.

     I was definitely enthralled by the dancing of the characters, but what I loved most in this animation was the simplicity of the characters' and the background's design. The beautiful pencil-like lines representing the man and woman was separated by colour of black and white. I think the use of black for the man was due to the colour's bold and masculine appeal and as for the white's delicate and purity may have been applied to the female character in the animation. 

         The light texturised beige as the animation's background for the whole period was a good choice since it didn't overwhelm the viewers and doesn't distract us from watching the characters dance and making the bottom smoother gave depth to the characters, making it look as if they were standing on a smooth surface. 

His short animation inspired me to simplify my design of my art in my potential animation in terms of design and colour, because I believe it gives more room and feasibility to transition different expressions and meaning.
