Tyger, tyger, burning bright

In Tyger, an animated short by Guilherme Marcondes, a giant jungle cat roams the city and transforms the urban jungle into a actual one, illuminating everything in sight with magic and wonder. Tyger combines puppetry, photography, and animation into the most original animated short I’ve seen in a long time. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go watch it again. (Thanks, Kev!)

    Amazing – rich and vibrant yet dark at the same time, and they blended everything together so nicely. I do have to ask, though, did the puppeteers being visable bug anyone else? Like it wasn’t an artistic choice, like it was just too difficult to remove them . . .

  8. exelente trabajo, la animación no es nada convencional y eso es lo que llama la atención. Un trabajo que impresiona

    @ Rockiltree: seeing the level of excellence all the other compositing had, i doubt it would’ve been too difficult to erase the puppeteers. i think it was a artistic choice. at least that’s how i understood it and it worked for me.

    I think its a brilliant work by Guilherme Marcondes. He has blended the three things so beautifully. Its amazing and unique too. Like the movie!

    Wow.
    I thought the puppeteers were a fantastic addition. It gave the piece a theatrical quality, and made everything seem more mysterious.
    What a great combination of techniques

    I loved the huge shadowy figures! they made it all extra weird and spooky.
    In the beginning I wondered what those black shapes were, then I wanted to see how they do it, how they move. The shot where they rise over the hill…brilliant.
    Technique does not seem a problem for them :D
    Also props to the music. It suits the movements and colors perfectly.

    I wish the human figures holding the puppet weren’t there.. Too noticable, distracting from the actual puppet moving…. always thought a puppeteer was supposed to be invisible…

    But overall very nice..

  15. bellini says:

    Seeing the puppeteer is actually very common in actual live puppet shows, and they do dress all in black, just like in the movie. I think that’s what made this one so strange and mysterious, we are too used to hiding things that when something is revealed we find it strange.
