Visual Language: Animations which Life Drawing / Human Form is Explored

Another animation I looked at which explored the human form was the video 'Duet' created by the Disney animator Glen Keane. The story in this animation is about who a boy and a girl meet when they were babies but then separated and as they grow up they see each other for a couple of seconds then they carry on with there own lives. This animation used many techniques such like time lapsing by making the two characters grow up in a short amount of time but they did it so smoothly.
Glen Keane was used to working at 24 frames per second when he was working for disney, but when he was working on the short 'Duet' he was working at 60 frames per second because he was also working with computers and in our days people are used to seeing videos in 60 frames per second. This helped Glen Keane make his transitions from kid to adult so fluid and smooth like, so it doesn't seem unnatural and whats even more impressive is that no technique CGI can manipulate this happen.
