I conducted some questionnaires for my food experiment animation before moving onto my final bear operation animation to ensure that I was going down the right route. I was hoping to get some emotional and psychological responses from people watching my animation and below are the responses I got back.
The main response I got from people was that they felt uneasy when watching the food animation. This was a great result as this was the response that I'd have hoped for!
After asking about stop-frame being the medium of choice, people said that it made it more relatable and that it wouldn't have been as effective if it were in a different animation medium. This was another point I wanted to make within this animation as I wanted to create something that could only be achieved in stop-motion, proving it's appeal and difference above other mediums.
I also asked about the materials used and wanted to see if the fact that it was food made any difference to people. The replies I received stated that the fruit reminded them of flesh and that they were very experimentational and different. As this was an experiment in itself, it made me happy to know that others understood this.
The sounds within this animation, although not the main thing I was researching, made people feel even more uncomfortable and they explained that it added to the realism of the animation. It's interesting to see how much sound can make a different in an animation.
Finally, I quickly wanted to see if people understood the animation for what it was; a visceral experience. Most people said that there wasn't much to get as it was abstract and experimental and couple of people started to pick up on the juxtaposition of materials to create effect.
