2nd Empathy Loop de Loop

The empathy of a baby
Below is a video of a ted talk I watched on empathy, The talker is a lady called Helen Riess, she talks about the topic of the LoopDeLoop competition ( Empathy). At first she talks about her experiences of witnessing empathy among others. She talks about something that she noticed, something that amazed her, Helen observed peoples behaviour when babies cry in a crowded place, she starts off by telling you how most people would just run to the front of the plane to get away, but then she talks about how one reaction amazed her, the reaction of a baby, the baby that she spoke of gave up his own pacifier because he empathised with the baby crying.
I knew then that My next idea was definitely going to be about  this topic as it seemed very touching.
Good animations always come out of good stories and this was definitely one.


Below are Snapshots from my animation  on this idea, I was very pleased with the outcome but I believe it missed something, If I was to do it again I would defiantly pay more attention to the storyline because I knew what was going on but when I showed my friend he said that he thought the baby was throwing the pacifier to himself as you can not see the baby in the pram.
When designing the baby i had to think about how i could get across the feeling that he was infact a baby himself. I remember from Jazza  (youtuber) he says something along the lines of , "to make them look young, give them big eyes", so I gave him Big eyes.
