Claymation – Verdi Traviata
posted by Jodie
Link to the video: Verdi Traviata
This is a very cute little video done in claymation. The scene is a table laid out with sweets and desserts for a wedding, and all the gooey fillings make their way to the Wedding Cake Palace, get past the huffy “queen” (she gets a hand full of goo to boot), then once the fillings make it up the cake, there is a nice finale as they add their own flair.
Possible concerns: Remember it’s a YouTube site, so heed the advice in the Light Painting post. Also, the main desserts are red, and when they shake hands with the king and queen, they get their jelly goodness all over, making the royalty messy. Since it’s red, it could be seen as blood, but other than the queen getting mad a the king for letting these colourful, messy guys through, there isn’t anything that would otherwise suggest violence in any way. Possible talking points: what desserts have fillings you’d like to see on a cake? How do you think they got the little creatures to move (i.e., how do you think the video was made)? What flavours do you think all the different colours were?
