Andy Haung- Doll Face


In this experimental computer animation 'Doll Face' it shows the extreme lengths of what people go through to look 'perfect' or to clone people on t.v. who could be role model.

I feel that the concept in the video shows it is an unreachable goal by going to far causing themselves to be anorexic, going through plastic surgery, and just ending up fake. The women in the video tries so hard that she ends up broken, this signifies people to shattered inside because their not happy with themselves and go through so much to look 'beautiful' that they just ruin their natural beauty and end up looking ugly and fake. When the T.V moves more and more away it signifies that people look up to, these 'role models' and have an image in their head that, that's what perfect is and that's what everyone has to look like.
I think Andy Haung has given this name to the video 'Doll Face' so the viewer relates to a barbie doll, china doll, plastic, fake etc. Just tells you from the name that it's something that you can never be. The women is bombarded with images constantly flashing and it seems she gets brainwashed which people do get by the images on T.V shown, when a women appears on the screen with make-up on, it appears to look like a reflection of the machine women, she has the need to add that make-up too, the T.V screen moves up again with flashing images, the same women on the screen appears on the screen again with more for the machine to copy from, this is when the machine is looking up to the T.V and confirms that the women on the screen is her role modal and wants to be a clone of her. When the machine copy's the screen by applying make-up, skin colour, eye colour etc, with the machines appliances suggests it's plastic surgery by changing natural beauty.

  1. Really good start. Mention some of the terminology used in the class, Concept and Craft in your description. Also read through and check your spelling, (computor, modals etc. Let me know when you have made the changes.
