This video is cool because its not something I would expect a hammer to turn into. The wood and nail does throw me off though, It needs some further work to really look like what its intended to. The bunny is a really nice cartoon but it doesn't seem to move of its own accord, It looks like its feet flop back and forth as it floats by, if you add movement in its ears, legs or whatever I think it would really help.

ReplyDeleteI think maybe the browser on my computer made your animation play a little slower than you intended because of the heavy lines. Besides that, I thought it was a really cool idea you had making the hammer and nail transform into the bunny.
I think you should work more on the metamorphosis so that we can see how the nail and hammer actually shift into the bunny, it kind of looks instantaneous right now. Also, you may want to go back with the eraser tool and clean up some stray lines and fragments.
I think it would be cool the give the hammer a little more character, like maybe a face or something, or just make it's movements a little more "human" like, instead of jumping. Maybe you could put a face on the nail too and have a sort of "Oh No!" expression on it as the hammer comes down to nail it.
Really cool ideas, good job.

ReplyDeleteI think the strongest aspect of your animation is the aesthetic: the thick sketchy lines are really bold and play up the characters well. However, there are a lot of stray lines around the objects that I think need to either be more deliberate or be erased completely. As far as the transformation goes, I think you'd benefit from slowing that process down by adding frames to make it more gradual and smooth. Also, the bunny's eyes and other facial features never move when its hops around, and I think adding some additional "squash&stretch" elements to the face would help animate the bunny. Very original choice of objects though! :)
I like the idea of having the rabbit come back to the stage after he goes out. However from looking at it, it seems that you reverse the frames … in my opinion changing his hopping cycle might look better. I like the transformation form the hammer to the rabbit I think it works well with you piece. To me it seems like is really smooth.
ReplyDeleteThe beginning of the animation is a lil choppy. Maybe having more frames in the part were the hammer is walking could help…
Your animation has interesting concepts behind it - I like the idea of how money can be a trap/the death of people. I think if there was more development in the animations of that idea, it would be a lot more successful. The pixelated images and things are distracting, and I think if the falling money was more prominent, it would get across the idea better, and be quite compelling.
