Homework #3 Madeline Morrison

this animation really stuck out to me because of its playfulness. I really enjoy the simple color scheme throughout the entire animation. The red, greens, yellows, and blacks are very pleasing to the eye and the way the letters jump around like they are alive is a great representation of the film it is introducing. Since this is an older film, created in 1972, programs like after effects didn't exist yet so the animation was made from taking photographs. I especially like the transitions between the credits like the ripping of the paper, tape, sound effects, and the antique feeling of each of the letters.

Patrick Kipper- Mad Men Opening

I choose the Mad Men intro because it is very graphic and fluid. The intro matches well with the clean cut Advertising of the 1960s premise of the show. The transitions are very fluid and and John Hamm's character Don Draperis a solid black and white shape interacting with a colorful and moving background. There is a narrative with this opening that involves his office and desk start falling as well as himself.

Royksopp's music video for 'Remind Me' has been a long time favorite of mine. The motion graphics take the viewer from a large world map and dissects each part of the character's day into little components. I appreciate how it shows the connection between every layer of our lives in graphs, charts, and maps. The overall art style reflects that of informational graphics and animates in a well-paced manner. If it weren't a music video, I believe this type of video would be quite effective in schools when presenting small tidbits of statistics in a series.

Homework #3: Levester Williams

I was extremely intrigued by the hand drawn elements that are evident in this piece. With minute attention to the perspective, the artist creates a 3-D rendering of a simplistic 2-D drawn elements. Other qualities that demanded my attention were the metamorphosis of the objects and the smooth transitions that occurred during the transformation. The evolution of the camera is shown through the constant transformation. This was effectively created with a consistent pacing of the piece that allows ample time for the viewer to digest the images while the images constantly transform into something else. Even the sound was in sync with the pacing of the objects' transformation.
