This animation titled 'Father and Daughter' (2000) tells the story of s a girl who keeps returning to a certain place throughout her lift with the hope that she will be reunited with her father as this seems to be a special place they would spend time together. The animation uses traditional techniques, you can tell this by the handmade quality of the imagery and movement. Dudok de Wit has used simplified silhouettes, line drawings and a clever use of shadow do capture the sensitivity and emotion of the story. I found it interesting to see how he had captured the woman getting older through very minimal detail.
I thought this was a beautiful animation which really captured the emotion of the story. I think keeping the characters small in relation to the frame size emphasises the woman's fragility and feeling of loneliness.
