Kunstbar

Kunstbar is an animation from Whitehouse Animation Inc. This animation really emphasized an important point. Over time, if the effort is given, any individual’s technical animation skills and familiarity with the software can become top notch. What is made clear with this animation is that a good animation is all about creativity.

A man is walking by a bar and sees another man running out screaming. His curiosity overpowers him and he enters the bar. He looks at a menu which lists names such as Matisse, Dali, Picasso, and others alike. He orders his drink and when the bartender serves it to him, the bartender throws the drink all over his face and the texture of the man’s face then resembles a piece of artwork done by the artist that he ordered. Immediately after that, the camera cuts to a different man sitting at a table drinking Picasso’s “Starry Night” and the man’s ear falls off.

The animation continues and different drinks are served and different works of art are animated. This animation works so well because it is unique. The animator took a clever idea and put it into motion. It is not only the actual animation techniques that are impressive. It is a combination of the animation and the concept that make Kunstbar something that the viewer will remember.
