Study Task 5 - Sound study

'Two Finger Typist'

The sound corresponds well with the animation by changing colour. When the sound gets faster so does the change in colour. It gets faster and faster until the coffee spills on the laptop  - this relates to the kind of thing I am thinking of doing in terms of people walking and then the speed gradually building up alongside the sound. The sound getting faster and faster until the black figures walk along the screen when there is no sound anymore?

The sound in this animation is really interesting. It's harsh and the colours give it more of a fuzzy, fragmented representation. I like this idea in relation to mine - with the figures walking, each step they give off a fuzzy (noisy) effect with the sound. I quite like the fuzzy texture anyway because it gives off that old retro feeling (my author writes a lot about black history so it works quite nicely).

Study Task 4 - Animated shorts/stings

'Shapes'

The simplicity and cohesive narrative - each shape blending into another - strong relationship and smooth transitions. Variations of pace.

'Asu'

Complex - numerous transitions - Text mixed up with the characters - focusing on the walking cycle which is something I am hoping to try and achieve. Very fast paced. Effective cohesive narrative.

'The Unconscious Homeless man'

Very simple but so effective - subtle transitions but a clear narrative with some added humour. Successful and elegant aesthetic - is this something I want to focus on? - making very simple movement with well illustrated pieces of work? Very slow paced which keeps you locked in.
