Critique 10/10/10

http://vimeo.com/3514904

The animation in critique is a reinterpretation of the little red riding hood. It carries a strong infographic vibe, as the tale is modernized. The style is fairly consistent, and the music creates a pretty consistent pacing.

It’s extremely creative, and really pushes the story to the fringes of information. Hierarchy is fairly strong throughout the infographics, but I would pick stronger type options. Though the music creates pacing, it drags on for a little long, and makes the movie feel longer than it should.

My favorite portion is the middle, as things are changing the most and the creativity is happening at a faster pace. The styles are somewhat conflicting, as there will be really smooth animations, and then characters that look as if they’ve been drawn in MS paint. Some transitions weren’t thought out well, because most things fade out as new things fade in. Color worked fairly well, and it’s an enjoyable watch.
