"Manipulation" By Daniel Greaves 1991
Good and useful example for my project.
The relationship between character and hand is quite interesting and sense of rhythm. There is a good relationship for every action between them.





Gertie the Dinosaur (Winsor McCay, 1914)
Gertie the Dinosaur is a 1914 short animated film by Winsor McCay. Although not the first animated film, it was the first cartoon to feature a character with an appealing personality.

Nice animations

These are the nice examples that i like the character design and these colors.

Birmingham Nature Centre

Spiders are air-breathing chelicerate arthropods that have two body segments, eight legs, and no chewing mouth parts.

Non-predatory feeding

Although spiders are generally regarded as predatory, the jumping spider Bagheera kiplingi gets over 90% of its food from fairly solid plant material produced by acacias as part of a mutually beneficial relationship with a species of ant.

Methods of capturing prey

Main article: Spider web

The best-known method of prey capture is by means of sticky webs. Varying placement of webs allows different species of spider to trap different insects in the same area, for example flat horizontal webs trap insects that fly up from vegetation underneath while flat vertical webs trap insects in horizontal flight. Web-building spiders have poor vision, but are extremely sensitive to vibrations.

Defense

There is strong evidence that spiders' coloration is camouflage that helps them to evade their major predators, birds and parasitic wasps, both of which have good color vision. Many spider species are colored so as to merge with their most common backgrounds, and some have disruptive coloration, stripes and blotches that break up their outlines.

The Creation of a Character for D&AD
This example is a good example for my project. It's through live action and stop motion to making it simple.
I think my project probably similar with this example, I'd like to more interesting interaction between live actor and animation character.
