Another Storycorps story... John and Joe

This animation isn't technically something I would ever try to emulate myself, and it definitely wouldn't have been the style I would have picked for such a sad story, but somehow it works. I think maybe it's because it doesn't overpower the voice of John Sr. His story is at the forefront, which is how animation like this is supposed to work. So although it's a bit cartoony, you could say it's not as stylistically sophisticated as some of the other animations I look at e.g. the modern love ones, it works because it has heart.
