COMIC VIEW

IN MY COMIC STRIP I ORIGINALLY SET OUT TO HAVE A CHARACTER IN IT TO PLAY IN THE DIFFERENT SEASONS HOWEVER, I HAD COMPLICATIONS WITH CODING. I AM LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE CODING AND STARTING TO UNDERSTAND IT MORE AND MAKE THEM WORK. AFTER SEEING THE SEASONS CHANGE BACK IN FORTH I THOUGHT IT WAS NICE BUT AFTER READING THE CRITIQUES I REALIZE THAT I DO NEED TO INCLUDE MY CHARACTER TO INTERACT WITH THE SEASONS. I GOT THIS IDEA BY WATCHING MY DOG. SHE IS SO FUNNY WHEN THE SEASONS CHANGE. SHE LOVES TO PLAY IN THE SNOW AND HATES THE RAIN, SHE ACTS LIKE SHE'S DIEING, HER HAIR FALLS OUT IN THE SPRING, ALLERGIES, AND SHES IN LOVE WITH THE SUMMER SEASON AND SWIMMING IN THE LAKE, SO I WILL INCLUDE MY CHARACTER AND MAKE INTERACTION BETTER.

critique for midterm


in breedlove's animation i really dig the concept of racism however, it might not be executed as well. if you are talking about black and white issues then maybe you should be more literal.
you already have mostly black and white images. i think that the red, blue and green illustrate acceptance of all colors. maybe the people should have stripes on them like the rest of your images. i do enjoy all of the animations. seems to me that this is more related to working your life away in a factory, it is very mechanical.

hodges animation is nicely executed. kicking a ball through different scenes is nice. you are traveling with the ball. the images are nice as well. the only thing i can say to improve on is maybe have individual animations going on in the different scenes.

cierra's animation is fun and entertaining. i like the idea of the hungry cat. i would also like to see the cat interacting with the refrigerator. maybe tipping it over and making a mess. the animations need to be a little bit slower so you can read it and see what is actually going on, but over all, a neat idea.
