Hi, I chose this animation "double king" by
Felix Colgrave. I picked this video because I really enjoy the silly concept of a creature wanting so badly to just have as many crowns as they possibly can. I really like the style of animation and the character designs that Felix made for all the creatures he has a way of making them enjoyably creepy. His animation concepts are all so creative and inspiring! My favorite part is the ending where the main character finally throws a fit at the end because they don't get what they want. The expressions he makes for the characters are so great. I want to make things that this many people can enjoy and inspire them to make things as well!

Hi everyone, here's a video of Nyan Cat that I choose. I love how he is flying across the sky and passing soo many different countries. This was shown by the flags that changed on his body.  The changing flags made me think of the many, different cultures there are in the world.
I cant be sure this was intentional, but I think it's cool how the cat remains basically the same except for the flag change.  It could mean that we are share the same type of insignificant divide between all countries.
I chose to share this video because, it truly got me smiling! Hoped it would do the same for even 1 more person!
There were many comments for the past couple days, for some reason original viewers of this video re-unite on YouTube to re-watch and comment again.
I think a lot of people experienced the same type of happy and united feeling I did. So people try to re-visit with others with others that felt the same. -Tiffany Hoang

I chose this video for several reasons.  First, I am a huge horror film fan and this definitely fits into that genre.  Second, the article with the video is about "The origin of Motion Design studios, as told
by their founders." It describes the company being built from the ground up, like the body in the image showing what makes up the human body, i.e. skin, muscle, organs, skeleton, etc... This makes me think about how I personally improve in art, starting at the basics and slowly growing from there.

Initially watching the video, I interpreted it as a video about loss or illness. Even though the creators used cel-animated paint overs, adding a brush-like effect, there was still great detail to the two elderly characters’ solemn expressions. The video was about the “impassioned emotions of a caregiver… the experience of being swept away” and moving forward in that struggle to overcome it with care. I’m choosing to share this specific video out of the others I watched, not only due to it’s important message, but also the unique visuals. As aforementioned, paint overs were used as an overlay to the 3D character animation making for an aesthetically pleasing video.

This is the piece I chose because its one of the first things that comes to me when I think about animation. It has allot of symbolism through the imagery, and the song is him venting his frustrations about constantly being scrutinized and ridiculous headlines. I believe some of it is CGI, clay animation, and greenscreens of MJ. I always thought it was really impressive how smooth the animation implemented MJ.

I really enjoyed the overall composition of this animation. It seems like a note-worthy opening to a series or film, and very chilling vibe to catch the viewers attention. The color scheme is a rusty-red, contributing to the old fashioned retro setting. The animations are kept to a minimum amount of movement, allowing the viewer to take in the setting of the story. I chose this piece because I enjoyed watching it from beginning to end. The artwork within this animation was fascinating, and the use of transitions was smooth and captivating.

Hi this video Lush The Snow Fairy while you watch this each frame show vibrate color and music come together with the animation very well It kind of remain me of one of my favorite animate films studio Ghibli like Sprite Away where the film focus on the main little girl just like this one but this motion animation is more brighter with it's color then Sprite Away even thought it does have bright scene. My favorite part is when the little girl is walking from the log and that the bird fly out is very cool also the whole motion animation gives off magical vibe too it and wish to share this with since I'm a person that love fantasy like D&D 5e.

Honestly the first thing that comes to mind is the creator, Worthikids. I love their use of 3d Animation ( even though I'm not all that big on 3D animation unless if it is done right) worthikids integrates 2D animation with their 3D modeling tools, or even sometimes use the tools they have to create puppets like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, etc. I think this opens a new form of creativity when it comes to animation, opening vast possibilities you can do with 3D animation. -Ezekiel Myers.

Hello everyone, This is the clip that I chose and I'll tell you why. This video really stood out to me, I love how it incorporates both real life and fantasy. A lot of aspects of this piece were interesting to me, for starters I really like how the creator chose very warm toned shots not only to portray literal warmth but to add contrast with the shadow-like characters. I also really liked how the movement was captured not only with the videos but the how the characters had both a realistic sense of movement and a very unrealistic sense of movement. I chose this piece to share because I thought it was a very cool idea and people should see this type of work.

Hi everyone!
I chose this piece because of the vibrant colors, the 80s/90s style, and the Japanese art influence. It's a music video for the song "Crystal Dolphin," but it can also serve as a brief story of the rise of a successful pop group. The video takes us around the city and shows us different characters listening to the pop group's song. There is one particular scene where a kid puts on their LP record and suddenly everything around him starts levitating, including himself. I think we've all felt the same way when we heard our favorite artist for the first time! The piece itself has tons of moving graphics. Every scene has something going on that captures your attention. One of my favorite shots was the pop group being larger than life by literally being as tall as the buildings. All in all, a sweet, colorful piece that captures the excitement and exuberance of music.

"DOUGH JOE" reminds me of claymations such as "Chicken Run" or any "Wallace and Gromit" movie. I chose this piece because it reminds me of the movies I watched growing up. I also really enjoy the soft and rounded style the animators went with. The creators of the video were able to tell the whole story silently through their creative cuts and transitions, as well as the characters' body language and facial expressions. I also find the story funny and uplifting.

Hello Everyone,

What stands out to me the most in this piece is the 2D and sometimes 3D animations! I’m choosing to share it because I really enjoy the art style. I also really appreciate how the video is entertaining and educational.

The first thought that pops into my head when I see this piece is "action and drama." This moving graphic reminds me that 2D animation has still got it! The elements of art in movement can make any 2D world feel as 3D as our own. This animation emphasizes its character design and world-building. It appears to be a sci-fi fantasy with architecture so far from the real world. This piece is worth sharing because it has quick pacing, and although it's short, you'll feel like it has the potential to carry more content. It's immersive in that you the viewer follow the main character on his journey as he battles the clock in order to save his sibling. I find it exceptionally cool that although few words are spoken, the moving visuals were more than enough to let you know the gist of what is going on easily. On a more personal level, I enjoy fluid animations that sort of have a vector-art feel. The coloring and lack of texture remind me of adobe illustrator created clipart. Although this style lacks texture, it doesn't take away from it's quality at all because the movement is fantastic and you know through that that the creators are passionate.

Appreciate your reading!

This piece makes me think of motion graphics because of it's simply a great mix of art, music, and stop motion. Each set piece is incredibly detailed, and felt and clay are used to create a childlike feel, but also sometimes real life items of food or realistic looking clay creations are used (there's a fake brain in this one). The creators also combine the tangible sets with some great 3D rendering, using this contrast to explore our changing relationship with technology. I chose to share this piece not only because it is the first one that comes to mind when I think of motion graphics, but also because I think quite a few people have seen some frames or snippets of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, maybe without realizing what it was. The artists are a duo who go by Becky and Joe, and they have also made things for Cartoon Network and created the Feels Like We Only Go Backwards music video for Tame Impala, which I also highly recommend checking out.
