peeling text

This piece is successful because of the combination of the peeling text and the audio. I really like this effect because it seems really realistic and plus i haven't seen this before. It is visually interesting because it makes the text become 3D.

mix reel

The first part is interesting and is well done in a sense and suits the audieo as they ladies voice is old in which the visuals appear old too.

In the middle part i liked how the text appeared to come out of the bottom of the text...falling out-like it was an object rather then text which in real life stays where it is put.

No it is not the circle of doom but the circle of text! At the end of this reel is a really interesting use of text rotating in line around a sphere- the camera then follows some paths of text then jumps to the next while blurring in and out! this creates a sense of chaos which suits the visual. As a results it is very interesting and captivating as the viewer has to constantly re-focus.

colour, line and falling text

I really like how the piece has used colours to signify a change in mood or event. I really admire how they have added action and movement to the piece by animating the text accoridng to the audio-falling text, highly text, slight movements of text. As as a result as sense of instability is created which difficult when text is so stable. The use of line is also interestingly done except sometimes the colours don't necessarily work with it.

text and style

I like how the text is continually added on and the camera angle changed in relation to the words-further enhancing the significance of certain words. I selected this piece because it successfully used different types and colours to create their own style as well as to create a mood to the piece. He also used trapcode particle to create a 3D space adding depth to the piece.

blur and shape

I like how they have used the text to create a recognisable shape. I also admire how the text has stayed in view-which creates a sense of time passing. This is also noted as they have used an old grain effect on the composition overall.

The sound is more than just audio but an experience! I really like the use of text and inking- creates further depth to the piece. I am finding that the most sucessfully pieces are the ones that explore/incorporate the 3D space. I find this very inspiration because they use sounds like-film being change/clicking noise: creating a scientific aspect. I also really like towards the end how it appeared that flies'were on the camera...that the camera was an object. I liked how the text floated around- this appeared at the start and the end- I found this inspirational because text is something that is used to create sense and order-and they have take this and done the opposite.

so cute <3

I really like the laid back nature of this piece. This is due to the colours, pacing, a character in which the audience can familiarise with. They use low luminosity and saturated colours to give a homely effect which is associated with love.

It is a successful piece because it consistently uses similar colours and shapes creating a sense of composition and togetherness.

The audio includes external sound which is effect as it sets the mood where as the internal sounds adds that extra level that creates interest and sense of depth.

It is highly successful because it drives the viewer to the web site.
