video resposes 3-6

Shirin

Use of black and white filter creates a creepy dismal mood. Also, the music and sound she used creates a very specific mood of uneasiness.
Although there aren't any words you can tell what's going on between the characters.
Her scene cuts between the girls work very well.

I actually really liked this video because it was interesting and really made you think about the treatment of woman in other countries.

'A Family Finds Entertainment"
Honestly, I hate anything remotely scary or disturbing so I got to about one minute and did not watch it anymore.
I really did not like this video.

Bruce Nauman
"Art Make-Up"
I though the video was pretty boring because it was 10 minutes of him paining himself white.

Paul McCarthy
"Painter"
It was slightly amusing at first but it got very old and also the voice he used annoyed me.

I like the use of the table and the grapes being the transition. By using the grapes he can cut from under the table to the room around the table. Also, at the ends the grapes in different shapes transitioned into the girls dancing. I really liked the video.

The concept was pretty interesting. The three most private things in life and the camera being the invasion of privacy. This is accurate because a lot of people don't like to film births or deaths because they are personal.
However, I did not enjoy watching the childbirth.

stop motion responses

fresh guac
I love how he uses common objects and turns them into other common objects. Also, all the ingredients he uses aren't in guac but resemble the ingredients.

bottle
I love the characters she used and the way they interacted using drawings. Also, I loved how she used the environment in order to do her stop motion.

Felix in Exile
Drawing stop motion
I think I missed the meaning of the video but I like how the use of paper and his drawings would come to life and then cut to a scene of what he actually drew.

blu
I like how his street art interacted with the different buildings. Also, I like how people walking by were in some shots, making the animations look natural.

For my project I want to use stop motion similar to the first video.
