Doll Face, Koyaanisqatsi and Telling Lies are all based around everyday life and problems within the world, whereas Eel Girl and Muto are more surreal.
Koyaanisqatsi is a fight between nature and man, Doll Face is a fight between ourselves and Telling Lies is fighting with each other and in relationships. Although they are similar in that way, they are very different in the way that they are shown. Doll face is video animated whereas Koyaanisqatsi focuses on real life images, this makes the video more powerful in showing the problem. Doll Face is also very powerful but the way in which it is shown is more to enhance the concepts. Telling Lies uses neither of these techniques, instead it is just a blank screen with text and non diagetic voices.
Muto, is a wall painted animation. Using stop frame animation, the images look as though they are moving.
Eel girl is a very surreal piece, it uses the myth of a siren incorperated into the body of an Eel girl. The making of Eel Girl is extreme make up and special effects.
Doll Face, Telling Lies, Muto and Eel Girl are all relatively current videos whereas Koyaanisqatsi is quite an old video being released in 1982. Taking 6 years to produce Koyaanisqatsi was the one that took the most time. Because of its simplicity, Telling Lies took the shortest time to produce.
The video that had the most craft, is Muto. Taking a lot of effort to not only make the wall paintings move, but show the imagination and creativity that was put into it.
All of the videos had concepts. Some were shown more vivedly while others were more discreet, some took the concepts of problems within the world while others ranged between more subtle problems and fictional characters.
