The Hell’s Kitchen is a beautiful animation short that we got to see in class. I truly loved this short as it was a very simple idea and simply put. It had one very long shot starting out static until slowing moving up along the city sky light and going into the scratch on film with music.
This short can be seen as a tragedy as the characters are just going through life and because of random happenings they find death. Death could be right around the corner for any of us, we just don’t know it yet. The Hell’s Kitchen shows many deaths that started with just one incident creating a chain of reactions. This shows as well that any choice or thing we do in life can start a chain that can lead to who knows what. I feel like I am overanalyzing this to an extent but at the same time The Hell’s Kitchen conveyed this to me as I watched it.
The last part of the video saluting those that first started creating animations by scratching on the film I also believe to be tragedy. It was a very significant thing they did by putting that in and creating it. Sometimes we as humans forget so easily who started what we do, who made it possible for the things we do, who really had the passion and took the time to start this art form. It was a very noble act of the creators to add in the scratch film animation at the end.
I just overall loved the animation at the beginning but then was in awe at just all of the video, especially the scratch on film animation. just a fantastic piece.
