In class, Professor Jake showed us the film Crac! by Frederic Back and I thought it was super cool! I love how unique his drawing style was and it reminds me of children’s books. It also reminds me of one of my art styles also.His style is slightly different in each film he has.
His film Abracadabra definetly looks like it could have been on the TV channel for PBS kids or Qubo. Super cute.
Not all of Back’s films were childlike but some looked depressing and had no colors added. He also used a realistic style while animating instead of childish characters.
