Doll Face Review

The film Doll Face was Created by Andrew Huang the short piece only lasts for 4:13minutes but makes a lasting impression.


Using mainly computer graphics and CGI it only really has to human elements that give it that link to reality. With a neutral and plain background of grey it gives out a very cold lifeless feel but uses strong imagery. With a human face on a mechanical spine and a television set being the only things to catch the eye it manages to keep you focused on the main area of the piece. This Video is very strong visually and conceptually and uses craft and concept in equal measure.
The sound track for this piece is very effective and fits very well, all the sound is daigetic apart from the music laid over the entire piece. I think the music really merges in well and unless you deliberately listen for it your conscious of the fact that its there but not aware of it.
I think the Premise of the video is that people are so focused on the media, and that to many people aspire to and try and copy what they see on the TV or in magazines and that the Media industry puts forward a distorted view that in actuality isn’t that easy to emulate.After watching Doll Face I had a few new ideas towards my own project and started wondering if I could maybe work a similar aspect of unrealistic perfection into my own video somehow it also made me consider maybe some form of animation
