Critique 10/8

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.
