Entry Description

Animation

Judge 1

Positives: Everything about this animation was beautiful. Wonderful use of technique and I loved the mix of blank parts, shots of the person, and shots of the objects.

Improvements: The end was a bit abrupt, even given the subject matter. Perhaps if it concluded with some of the objects reaching the ground it would culminate better.

Judge 2

Positives: good use of black-out transitions to add drama and make it feel disorienting. Music was a good choice for the animation and what was happening.

Improvements: ended very abruptly with now end to the fall. If there was to be no landing, a fade to black would have worked better. Not sure what the story or narrative was supposed to be.

Judge 3

Positives: Simple but beautiful imagery Variety of shots help convey the story Audio track works quite well with the piece

Improvements: Too many blackouts... I wish they were conveyed through a different technique than just black frames... Try to find a more effective typeface for the title that fits the aesthetics of the animated piece...
