Bathtime In Clerkenwell

This animation was an interesting one in my mind. I thought the music went well with the animation. If there is a beat then the entire image bounces with the beat. I think that this is interesting because it engages the music with the animation.

I thought the details with the water coming out of the shower were great. The reason is that it sprayed everywhere when the person go into the bath. Also, I liked the birds who were drumming. They were militaristic which was interesting, along with that on how they were hatched also was militaristic.

I also thought that the usage of the clocks were nice. Going from a bird in the clock to the human since this shows that the birds actually successful in taking over the human world. The taking over can also been seen with the flags that are waving in the air. They are clock faces in which represents the birds. It is interesting that they use a famous clock, Big Ben, to get their point out that the birds wont take anymore from humans.

At the end I think it is interesting when the bird falls off the clock into the water and creates a splash. And an aerial view of London is shown to distinguish where it has taken place. Then at the end the entire animation was in the television and the birds actually rule the world in which case the human is in the clock.



Commercial for Converse

This animation is simple but shows a lot through the movement of the person in the animation. The animation gets its point across with the help of simple shapes. These simple shapes can not be manipulated by any ordinary shoe but when converse are added to the mix then that shoe can do anything. I like that he used color only for the shoes. This helps them to stand out and show the audience the product that is trying to be sold. Rather then hiding it and making the audience guess what the commercial is about. I think the commercial was a good, well made one.
