Studio Brief 2 - Research - The Hangnail by Shane Acker


The Hangnail was created by Shane Acker in 1999 for the Spike and Mike's Sick Twisted Festival of Animation.

It's quick, funny and kind of revolting which is something Animation usually isn't recently. I like animations that are short and don't involve a lot of storyline, and that focus on experimenting with disgusting visuals in an effective way. 

I feel like these kind of animations inspire me the most because of how simple but effective they are, and how the punchlines in them are a large focus, even though th story itself is short. I would really like to create animation like this that are just experimental, and depend mainly on visuals and sound effects.
