The hand-drawn flip book-like animation for Portishead's, 'The RIP' seems to portray perhaps the ending of civilisation? I question this because what's fairly unique about this animation is that it is completely up to your interpretation, reiterated by the hypnotic song and animated style. Animator Nick Uff explains how he doesn't produce storyboards, making the animation seem like a simple, continuous doodle using straight ahead animation. By not using storyboards, I was impressed with his coordination and understanding of his work as without planning it is very easy to loose track of timing and speed in animations. However this only emphasises the idea of unlimited interpretations of the animation, allowing the video to flow fluidly and freely.
