A Short Love Story in Stop Motion by Carlos Lascano

'A Short Love Story in Stop Motion' by Carlos Lascano uses four types of animation.
In this animation he uses
. Live Action
. Clay Mation
. Digital Animation
. 2D Stop motion

Not many animators use more than one or two techniques which shows you how different and unique Carlos Lascano's work is. Carlos incorporates real life footage for example the eyes of the characters are real eyes that have been recorded and added in also this is the same for the leaves.

The storyline in this animation starts with a young girl in her classroom fantasising about a boy in her class who she's fallen in love with. The fantasy starts from a drawing on a piece of paper and showing how they fall in love with each other, become married and then have a child together who they bring up.Then it ends with them being an old married couple leading back to the girl sitting at her desk where she started off in the beginning.

Although this scenario is not likely to happen since the girl is only young, the whole concept and fantasy is sweet and lovely. It captures the essence of love and portrays it in a young girls school crush.


I think that the style has been suited well with the music. The music determines the mood of each scene and creates an atmosphere.

I find that the animation achieves captivation of the audience as they all know what its like to crush on someone and imagine what it would be like if they were together. It's a really sweet and cute animation.

I love this animation for the use of different animation techniques because they compliment each other so well. Also the use of music makes you feel like you're part of the fantasy.

With the amount of animation techniques used I cant really say that I've come across any other animation quite like this. This shows that the genius mind of Carlos Lascano is a unique one too, it shows what talents he really has.

Overall I love this animation for the use of the fantasy and how he's complimented it with different animation techniques.

If I had to pick one thing that I could use myself it would have to be the use of sound in this animation as it set the mood for each scene and made it seem like a fantasy.
