Thought of You from Ryan J Woodward on Vimeo.
Created by Ryan Woodward, Thought of You is a 3 minute dance animation that sweep many people off their feet when it was first released in September 2010. This video revived a huge amount of positive response from viewer and also winning numerous awards in different film festivals. It is also a big part of Ryan Woodward's exhibition, which showcase Woodward's conte works. This film is drawn traditionally with conte, which is rare as most animation recently are all digital drawn.
There is no story to this animation, viewers are free to interprate the meaning of this film. Woodward wrote in his site "rather than creating a narrative animated piece that communicates a well defined story, this piece allows for each individual who views it to to experience something unique and personal that touches their own sensibilities." In his exhibition, Woodward showcased interpretations from different viewers.
I think Thought of You is a true piece of artwork. It allows the viewer to be part of the work and rise different emotion within each viewer. Thought of You means something different for each individual audience. I believe an artwork should not tell what the audience should think, but help the audience think. I also think this is why Thought of you speaks to so many people, because it does not target a certain group of audience.
