Thanks for the feedback Rose 😀
There’s only one space between scene and for, it might look like more because of the font though. Of course it’s also possible that I’m looking at the wrong thing. If you could let me know which specific sentences have errors in them it would be greatly appreciated.

Great description, you can really get a sense of the piece and some key design elements that I am excited to hear analyzed.

While the overall analysis is good for a rough paragraph, it has its grammatical errors in here. For example, there is one part where there is an extra space between the words scene and for. I appreciate the transitions from the description from the analysis, however, I wish you would go into the analysis a bit more. The description appears to have more meat to it. The analysis is a good read, but if you have time to add some more details to your analysis. What else could this picture mean? Did you only have one sole idea for this analysis? What else do you see? Also, I wish that you could have uploaded the picture for me to see as I would love to see these ideas that you are talking about. I can’t wait for your presentation! Good luck!

It would be interesting to talk about the children more- what are their expressions? How are they being portrayed? Where are they looking? What are they wearing/look like? How are they positioned? Why are they there? Also, the shape of the artwork is interesting. How does the circular frame change the work from the traditional style of art?

Daney: such an ambitious project–using video and drawing/animation and Flash as well as final cut (both new to you?). The final works really well! You worked on this beyond what I last saw, and the transitions and “bookending” of the two carefully placed IRL rock stacks, which are the same act, but different incidents, works beautifully to create balance across the composition of the video. The sound as a constant also unifies the piece, and it’s seemingly inorganic make-up strangely works across this hand-made drawing and hand depictions (all organic in a literal sense). I really like some small subtle places–the very first tension in the placement of the rock on top in the first rock stack–I just gravitate toward the negative space where the rocks come together. It’s quite a focal point, small, but so careful. I care about how you stack that rock! I also appreciate the change of color in the animation of the line from black backgorund to brown–as if introducing or foreshadowing the color of that carefully placed rock. This is a really interesting work!! I look forward to more work from you. The animation, hand drawings, on top of the blurred/textured backgrounds (the “ants”) is also a juicy juxtaposition. I think the fact that the ants aren’t cute, but are complex and somewhat unknown is another great fact–because the death spiral is sort of scary and definitely not cute. So the idea of the video I think mirrors your original intrigue with the idea…GREAT WORK!

What characteristics about rocks and ants that you would consider cynical/strong?

Strong and cyclical, Ants and rocks! very smart, when I think about ants, I think about their strength and the fact that they are able to carry large loads on their tiny bodies. Rocks give me an image of sturdiness. I also think about ants and their seasonal existence – which correlates with the word cyclical. good choices. lets see what u are able to conjure up.

Will you have enough time to animate all this, like I’m not sure totally what’s going on so its hard to see how much this is for you to do, but that would be my question?

Sounds cute. Whats your sound going to be? Is the idea of strong the ant’s picking up and moving the rocks?

What is the transformation? What are your words?
