MirrorMask by Neil Gaiman: Librarian Scene



I find that reading and writing is essential to build on my performance skills and understanding of the narrative. Through looking at other artists, writers, animators and performers I understand the many ways in which a story can develop.

A particular one that stands out to me is the librarian scene in the film 'MirrorMask', written by Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Dave Mckean. The scene itself is based around bringing a lot of additional information together in a small clip where we, as the viewer, clearly understand what is happening. I find it very engaging and easy to understand as the animators have used several different layers and types of animation to create the aesthetic. Voice acting is something of strong interest to me as I'm intrigued within language, language barriers and gesture found within performance.

Perhaps voice acting is something I wish to pursue in the future. What are we without language? How does not having the use of language effect our quality of life?
