The images I choose to compare and contrast, are from the same animated short made by Pixar. The short is called Vgel and is about three minutes long. Although the video does not have words, it is clear what the animators are trying to convey. The smaller birds are rude to the bigger bird, and the smaller ones end up losing in the end, so the moral of the story is, you should get to know someone before you judge them. The smaller birds judges the bigger one because obviously he was bigger than them. They based their judgment off of the color and lighting of the larger bird. The hue of the smaller birds is a gray color, becoming more saturated towards the lower half of their bodies. The larger bird has a blue hue, and it as well becomes more saturated towards the bottom of the body. The hue of the beak on both birds is yellow, with not saturation. The bigger bird has more brightness to his hue than the smaller ones, which could come off as intimidating, leading to why the smaller birds were mean to him. The overall size and hue of the larger bird, make for the mood of the short and add to the symbolism. The lighting and saturation of the birds hues, makes the viewer focus attention of certain parts of the birds body. The bigger bird is lighter and brighter, so the viewer pays more attention to him. The light and dark colors add the mood, they created it. The smaller birds are dark, which represents that they are not very nice to the larger bird. The color of the birds created emotion and symbolism. The shadows around the birds body, like under their eyes for example gives shape to the angry expressions they are making. While the two birds (smaller ones and the larger one) do have some characterizations that can be compared together, the different elements of each, makes the mood of the short. Both types are similar, but the color and lighting make them their own.
