Animator vs Animation was epic

Animator vs Animation

I came across an interesting animation in youtube called “Animator vs Animation.” I find the animation very humorous because the creator created an animation that is attacking the animator. It works very well for the audience. It brings a sense of feeling on what you created can come and attack you. This is what is being shown in the animation. The character articulation is very lifelike rather than mechanistic. It gives off the feeling that the animation has a mind of its own. The liveliness of the animation makes it work very well. For example, we see a lot of movement in the animation. It’s a battle between the animator and the animation. It is a rebellion. The animation itself is trying to fight to save its own life from the animator that is trying to destroy it. The sense of space is strong within the animation. The timing of the animation, for example, is well time in making the animation. We see the character start moving and the animator have the perception of what is going on with the creator’s work. This animation resonate to the audience on what you create can go against you or something that has a mind of its own. Also, the style of this animation was overall clever. In term of dimensionality, the animation is 2D. It makes sense to put 2D for character articulation as it makes it more direct as in what the creator is trying to say. Rather than showing the animation in a 3D perspective, the creator would rather show it as 2D. The color of the animation itself is flat. The color seems to go well in the animation. There wasn’t anything wild.
