Mikey Please

M Ward Promo - Rave On from Mikey Please on Vimeo.

One of the first films i saw by Mikey Please was the Eagleman stag which took my breath away, The story its self was complex, like the deep thoughts that may run through our minds about time but the way it was animated, with everything being make in white, using paper or foam and other materials. What is amazing about this technique he uses is how he managed to get the lighting right to show the detail within the white short film.

Lighting isnt always an easy thing to get right especially with stop motion, and how to managed to get his characters to move so fluently or do what they needed to do with the use of the material he decided to stick with, and uses again in later animations is amazing.

He is definitely an inspiring animator who i a constantly keeping an eye on for new work and tips on how he manages to animate the amazing work he does.
