Critique 10/8
http://lookslikegooddesign.com/animation-johannes-timpernagel/
The animation in critique today has a very geometric, tranced out aesthetic. The pacing is fast, and matches the music well. Some of the secondary elements are a little rushed, but since they are only on the screen for split seconds at a time, it works fairly well. The colors are cohesive, and lends itself to the feel of burning out. This could very well be the result of not enough sleep and too much coffee.
I'm curious as to the storyboarding process, since it's extremely sporadic. Did they just make a bunch of geometrical designs and flash them at random? If you aren't a large fan of the music, it could be considered a little long since there isn't much of a concept behind it. Since I'm unaware of the culture behind this aesthetic, it's hard to criticize the style.
Transitions are choppy, but that's intentional (seems easier!). There is little evolution throughout the video, and this is kind of bothersome to me. Not much of an idea driven project, so much as an act of execution.

Video review
http://vimeo.com/4248858
This video is fairly impressive due to the fact it was created in 2 days. I'm assuming he didn't sleep much, and rendered it on a nice computer! It's a decent blend between type and live video, though it doesn't really deliver the message very emotionally.
I wonder why they chose the actor, or if it's just the person that created the whole project. He doesn't bear much significance, but then again, who would be a stronger candidate?
The type is scattered, and while I think the slab serifs work, archer is kind of an odd choice (funny, since everyone acts as if it works on everything!). You can't read it half the time, and though that's probably the point, there are certain words that evoke different emotions than they're supposed to. Corruption looks funny, not scary.
His answers to his questions are more questions (that don't have concrete answers either). The pacing works, but since the writing falls short it really doesn't have the impact it could.
Though it looks fairly decent for being made in 2 days, the writing, type choices/alignments have obviously not gone through a process
