movie reference for Agoraphobia animation

1)Christopher Hinton - Nibbles (2003)

Matthew give me a suggestion. The short film I showed below is about nibble. Mat said it will be good if I can make my film have the exaggeration that showed in the film below. Learn how they show people eating. I need the energy in my film. The film is very simple, but it has energy.

Agoraphobia-from wikipedia

Agoraphobia (from Greek ἀγορά, "marketplace"; and φόβος/φοβία, -phobia) is an anxiety disorder defined as a morbid fear of having a panic attack or panic-like symptoms in a situation from which it is perceived to be difficult (or embarrassing) to escape. These situations can include, but are not limited to, wide-open spaces, crowds, or uncontrolled social conditions. Alternatively, social anxiety problems may also be an underlying cause. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia avoid public and/or unfamiliar places, especially large, open spaces such as shopping malls or airports from which they cannot easily escape if they have a panic attack. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to his or her home, unable to leave their safe haven.
Although mostly thought to be a fear of public places, it is now believed that agoraphobia develops as a complication of panic attacks.[1] However, there is evidence that the implied one-way causal relationship between spontaneous panic attacks and agoraphobia in DSM-IV may be incorrect.[2] Onset is usually between ages 20 and 40 years and more common in women.[3] Approximately 3.2 million, or about 2.2%, of adults in the US between the ages of 18 and 54, suffer from agoraphobia.[4] Agoraphobia can account for approximately 60% of phobias.[5] Agoraphobia, as studies have shown, has two age groups at which the first onset generally occurs — early to mid twenties and in the early thirties — thus helping to distinguish between simple phobias in child and adolescent years.[6]
In response to a traumatic event, anxiety may interrupt the formation of memories and disrupt the learning processes, resulting in dissociation. Depersonalization (a feeling of disconnection from one’s self) and derealisation (a feeling of disconnection from one's surroundings) are other dissociative methods of withdrawing from anxiety.[7]

the message of spike and mike, sick and twisted festival

I found a video that introduce Spike and Mike, sick and twisted fesival.


inspiration of final film-character and motion

character reference-from The Triplets Of Belleville
I found that so many fat guys in the animation film named The Triplets Of Belleville. In the part I upload below, characters are all fat and special looking. By the way, the style of this film is like old film. I like the tone of the film.


 look at the swallowing
1:58-2:03



sick and twisted-from wikipedia

sick and twisted-what I want to show in my film-useful for essay as well

Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_and_Mike's_Festival_of_Animation

It's a kind of animation festival, and most of the animation films in this festival are about sick and twisted (as I showed before). My short film tends to show similar thing as these films.

research- style, colour for my final film

I found the website. Oh¬Yeah
http://www.trashpack.com/en-au/products/collection-packs/

attatch some pictures here. I have seen the trash pack for a long time, but I haven't found it. Now I get it!
I think the colour is useful to me, as my short film is about junk food. Actually, I don't want to make the junk food in my film look like tasty, I want to make it messy.

inspirations for final film

what I want:
exaggeration, crazy story, extraodinary style, disney style movement (12 principles)
key words of my short film:
a man, fat, liles to eat junk food, lazy,

After I decide my story, I recalled animation films that I have watched before; and then find if I can get some idea from them.

1)Magic--story
In this film, I got some ugly scene that bloody and violent. Actually, I hope some parts of my film can have similar effect.


2) Happy Tree Friend-story, colour
The moment that when the green character put the blue one into the grill I can use as reference in my film.



3) Battle of Food--story
Each kind of food has its own weapon. In my short film, the junk food will has its own style to arrest the man.

4) Empty Roll-style
It's a quite simple animation film. But I like the style. I'm thinking whether I can use this style to show my story or not.



5) LUPO THE BUTCHER-character (mouth)
This short film includes both humour and bloody elements. I think the character's mouth is distinctive which I can put in my film as reference. His teeth are ugly and messy. If a man always eat a lot, his teeth will possibly like that, which will happen in the character of my film.

synopsis of the final film-- we eat them or they eat us

 
What I want to say in my film
Message:
-- keep a healthy life style.
topic:
--We eat them or they eat us?
What I like to show in my film?
Humour, exaggeration, craziness, little bloody, violent
synopsis
The man not only use his hands, but also use his tongue. His tongue can come out from his nose, mouth, ears and eyes and it can hold food themselves.
He is so lazy that he open his belly and put food into his belly directly. Suddenly, he feels the temperature of the room is so high and his arms and belly emerge some blister.
What’s more, all of the furniture became junk food.
Cabinet-- hotdog;  carpet—pizza;  sofa—ice-cream;  curtain—chips;  bookcase—sandwich;  DVD– sweets;  TV—cheese;  tissue—pop corn;
Then all the junk food and rubbish attack him at the same time. He stands in the corner of the room then run outside, go to downstairs. Rubbish and junk food became a shock wave still attack him.
At last, he was stuck by the door and cannot go outside. The man was covered by rubbish and junk food.
(not sure do I need this part or not) Then zoom out, the door is a mouth of hamburger, and the shock wave is the tongue of hamburger. The man was eaten by the house( hamburger). Finally, the hamburger became the original shape-house, and hiccups, spit a skull.
