An oddly interesting short animated film

Hello everyone,

 So to start off my name is Hunter and I'm extremely excited to be taking MG & A this semester. Since I have a knack for finding interesting things to blog about my first entry will be about a short animated film featuring Dock Ellis & The LSD No No created by James Blagden. This animated film captures the attention of the viewer by incorporating audio from a previous radio interview with Dock Ellis (Former MLB Pitcher) and also creative animation to portray the story. While I don't support how Ellis took LSD in this film I thought the way in which the film was constructed was inspiration for future work (after all whats a product without an idea).  I have a huge interest in telling stories through various mediums such as animation and I hope to only expand my knowledge throughout the course of the semester.
             
                    

Electromagnetic Spectrum: Radio Waves

This video doesn’t really talk about any animation itself.  Rather, I find the animations in it (used to talk about radio waves) quite impressive.  Although they don’t blow the viewer away with their quality and whatnot, I can really appreciate all the time, effort, and work that went into making this video.  There are some very impressive graphics that use everything from particle generators, to various camera movements.  There are also graphics boards that are animated.  This video is put together very well and allows the viewer to understand what they are talking about.
