Evaluating others

As the final part of our assessment for this module, we were required to evaluate an animations created by someone else in the class. I have chosen to evaluate Sam White and Sam Gardner`s animation as I believe that their animation is a good example of the "less is more" concept.
 The animation sees two different coloured plasticine balls interact with each other in an aggressive manner which represents war. As the two colours begin fighting, the balls begin to merge into one big ball, which eventually becomes earth, suggesting that, despite our differences , we are all together.

 The song "Better together" by Jack Johnson was played throughout the animation as a way of providing additional information to the animation which may not have been portrayed through the plasticine.  I believed that the use of a table for a background added to the simplicity of the animation, allowing our focus to be drawn to the plasticine balls instead. My only criticism of the animation is that the purpose of the animation is unclear until the very end, however, I do believe that this will encourage people to continue watching until the end of the animation to discover its purpose.
