Project 4



Project 4 from Jessi on Vimeo.



Write up:

Since I really liked the squiggly lines from the last project, I decided to reutilize them in this project. I tried to get away from using exclusively blues since I know I've been doing that a lot lately. I used a nested comp for my background image so that when the opacity and motion changes for the different color lines, the viewer can see the color changes. I also made the background image stark straight lines and the foreground images organic shapes for contrast.

    I like the way my focus is pulled back and forth, first I want to watch the background and then :shush: these lines move and steal it away. So my eye is in a constant push and pull, to me. I kind of want something else to happen during this. Like it needs a new shape to pop out or roll onto the scene at some point.

    I think this is your best experiment thus far because the color blending with the squiggly lines really work well. The rotating background also really pushes the blending to me because it acts as a buffer while you're watching the squiggles. Like OP Art. Good Job.

    The color is working well in this piece. I'd suggest seeing how far you can stretch your understanding of color, and try even more experimental color combinations.

    Your squigglies(sp?) work well here as they did in your last project. What if you tried some diagonal movement in the next one?

    I think the opening scene's colors are effective set apart with the striking black stripes. In the middle, it kind of seems a little 80's lisa frank but it loses that feel again when the black comes into play. Instead of these stereotypical colors that work together, I think you should try to break away and try to grab more uncommon colors and combination to actually takes risks and see what works and what doesn't. Obviously, you are re-using shapes so your projects are really all about the color. Since that's the case, you should be a little more experimental in your approach.

    I like how the squiggles are reminiscent of a butterfly in their arrangement and movement. I still feel like I'm contained
    in the same area for the whole video and nothing moves outside or comes in from outside the edges of the composition.

    I actually want to see your cute vector food animated, like your cupcake up there.
