Hi Katie!
Your video effectively represented the progression of animation through your selection of images and videos. You made excellent choices by including photos from highly popular cartoons across different eras. The theme of this project, in my opinion, was a walkthrough of the evolution of animation over the years, and both the visuals and audio conveyed this well. Incorporating a range of animations, including familiar characters like Felix the Cat, felt cohesive rather than repetitive. I was engaged with the historical developments as they unfolded in the video. The pacing and transitions did not feel erratic or disorganized. Although the timing wasn’t always clear, it wasn’t sharply noticeable because the photos and pacing flowed well with the audio. The sequence of your photos followed a logical progression from early animation techniques, such as hand-drawn sketches, to more advanced media forms. My only recommendation is to consider incorporating brief text or timestamps for each group of visuals to strengthen the historical perspective.
Hello Katie!
I love you video! The music pairs very well with your theme and is actually quite relevant to the ear of some- if not all, of these historic pieces of animation. The jaunty playing and scatting going on in the background draw you in and serve as a historic placement for the animations. I will say it would have been cool if you had been able to spread out the moving animations more evenly throughout the video, but I do realize that you were showing an evolution of these animations, thus some came before others.
Wow Katie,
This is jaunty as all heck with a good amount of humor. It feels very much like a demonstration piece of the animations from its most early eras. It was fun especially with the cuts you made for comedic situations. It was very overt with its meaning and comes through being a great demo piece.
The audio was very much of that era and it reinforces the images and animations shown. There is this wonderful happy synergy between the audio and video where both enhance the other to make something greater. It was very focused and does not deviate from the original purpose.
Finally the rhythm and pacing was niiiicee. The edits were well timed and none of the images overstayed their welcome. Over all I do not have notes. This was very pleasant and wonderful. Good job!
