After watching video after video on the server and youtube I have found that many of them look the same. When viewing them without music or words the first round, there were only a couple that actually caught my attention. The motions that did not have much variety or hierarchy in them were boring without sound and I found it difficult to read them and stay interested. Adding sound to the animations changed them completely. Those that were already eye catching and attention grabbing were amazing while those that were boring became tolerable but still not too interesting to watch.
The Suberbad video was funny to watch and it sets the mood for the movie. It is so simple and it is amazing how much something can be described when only a silhouette is used. The two main characters are the ones dancing and the entire introduction does a great job of setting the mood for the movie.
The Casino Royle intro has been used a great example in one of my other classes. The very first scene when a gun shot is fired through the tunnel and blood drops down from the top of the screen is just so eye catching and memorable. The whole animation flows well and relates to the movie. The viewer is interested in seeing what is going to happen next as the main character fights with people. The end of it is also very interesting because the man is covered and created into a silhouette and tying it all together.
Spiderman 2 has an eye catching opening. It begins with comic book pages flipping fast to reveal the maker. It makes the viewer want to know what is going to happen and what are the comics about and how do they relate? The use of diagonal lines that are constantly moving and creating shapes and transparency's is interesting. The viewer does not want to look away because they do not know what is going to be shown next and don't want to miss it since it will soon be swept away by the other lines. The music plays along with the graphics very well and the suspension grows towards the end. The scale throughout it is pretty much constant with the exception of the title and the production company.
