This is a great clip that displays anticipation when Merida rips her dress and shoots the arrow. Secondary action is shown in the drapery of her clothes, the placement of the flags and the bounce in her hair. Timing and motion is also shown when the arrow is released and hits the target.
Red's Dream
This animation has a good use of secondary motion. For example the movement of the clowns body as the unicycle is pedaled and the clowns tie sways from side to side. Anticipation is shown when the clown realizes that is no longer sitting on the unicycle. This clip uses arches and gives the unicycle emotion as well as a personality.
Holy Monks
This clip shows secondary motion as the heavier monk stop moving his stomach still bounces. Squash and stretched is used when the thin monk does a split on the bamboo, his body is elongated then springs back to normal once he makes his next action. Follow through and overlapping principle occurs when the thin monk picks up the pig and launches it with his whole body. After the pig is released his body is finishing the motion of throwing.
Rollin' Wild
Squash and stretch is used when the cheetah misses its prey and bounces on his head and rolls forward. Another principle that is used throughout this video is exaggeration. For example the size of the animals, the animators idea was to show what animals would look like if they ate fast food. Anticipation is used in a comical way when the zebras are drinking and then bubbles appear, followed by an alligator popping out of the water.
This animation shows 1) follow through when the girls hair is moving after she jumps. It also shows 2) anticipation when the ball is being shot at the space ship as well as 3) arc. A good example of 4) timing and motion is that the spaceship did not move when the ball was shot proving it was stronger than the ball. 5) Secondary action can be seen when she finally gets the unicorn stuffed animal and is so excited.

Simon Hogsberg's project titled "Spirit is higher" is a photographic a story about Anette Jørgensen a 47 year old woman who was born with disabilities. This woman has struggled all her life to keep up and decides to climb a mountain. I think this is so cool when people strive to do things like this, especially if they have a disability that would make it very challenging. Hogsberg portrays the excitement and sense of accomplishment of this woman's emotions through his amazing photos.
This is a basic line rider clip that I'm sure everyone at some point has done. I used to love this as a kid and it's a great example of line animation.
This is just a comical line animation of a cat trying to get his owner to simply feed him
This line animation seems like it has a flip book effect to it, but still an interesting clip. It's just a bunch of line animations morphing into different things. It kept me watching due to the fact that i was curious to see what was gonna come up next
One project that I found to be very interesting by Simon Hogsberg was his "Faces Of New York" piece. I thought it was particularly interesting how he spent hours a day walking around and asking people, "What do you think about your face?". Many had very in depth responses, some good, some bad, but all gave a answer. One response that caught my eye was an older lady named Rhoda, who had a sadder answer. She seemed sad that her age has finally caught up to her, that all the wild parties had finally caught to her. Although it seemed like she was sad to be getting old, she also was very relieved because she no longer had to be the center of intention. Rhoda could now just sit down and have a simple conversation and not care how the outcome is. Overall, I thought this one was one of Simon's more in depth project.
I chose to critique Simon Hogsbergs' "Faces of New York". I really liked this piece because he asked a few New Yorkers what they thought about their own face. It was interesting to see how people viewed themselves; Some were very confident and some were very critical of themselves. It got them to think of how they came off to other people who did not know them and showed some of their inner battles and history. This specific shot was really interesting because he felt as if he did not look like he is supposed to. After moving around he realized what his strong points are and used them to his advantage. I really liked the story this piece told.
I chose to critique Simon Hogsberg's "Dance Dance Dance." This piece is so beautiful, in the fact that it is capturing such a small lonely town when it is on its best day. Life, excitement, passion, interaction, and dance are just a handful of what Simon was able to capture. Looking at this even made me parallel the story of this small town of Herrang near Stockholm, to our school. Small towns that depend on the economy and life that is brought to them only a specific time of year. These are the places that are usually forgotten, but with this piece of art it captures the excitement, in a passionate, yet slightly humorous, for example this image:
The one thing that I did not like about this piece was the odd placement of the bios of some of the attendees, it was somewhat near the end but, I just didn't feel like it scrolled well.
I choose this piece of work because it tells a story. For example each person that was photographed leaves the viewer with a sense of mystery. It leaves me wondering, why does that elderly couple have eye patches overs their left right eye, what is that girl in the yellow laughing about, and where is that guy going with the picture frame. This image also uses positive and negative space very well. I like how the objects in the background are blurry and how clear the people are seen.
I choose this line animation video because I find it interesting how the
characters change into shapes. Even though it may seem complex it shows
that things can be broken down into a variety of shapes as well
becoming live like to the viewer.
I found this video quite comical. I uses simple movement and brings pivot stick figures to life.
This clip of a bowling ball is very simple. I choose it because it shows how the ball bounces a little after falling down each step
This first animation is a very simple flower sack, doing somewhat of a dance. I decided to choose 3 "dancing" animation that progressed with difficulty with each video.
I thought that this was a creative take to the classic flower sack animation. I liked how even though such a simple object as a sack can be animated with such emotion that it can even dance ballet!
Even though this is a much more complicated animation, it is cool to see where a simple object becomes complex and more realistic.
