Lizz's Video Animation

Okay, so I'm pretty sure that the video got embedded correctly, but here's the link just in case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIhsKCrTf3g&feature=related

I chose "Morgan & Destiny's Eleventeenth Date" for my animation example. Besides a general tendancy to swoon over Joseph Gordon-Levitt at any opportunity, I've always been a fan of the video work he has done with his organization hitRECord. This video combines the use of photographs, computer or hand-drawn objects, as well as video to create a really neat visual.

I love the story that it tells, and the vernacular used to tell the tale makes it even more interesting, and forces the viewer to re-think words we use everyday. The combination of visual styles is stunning, bringing all the separate pieces together into a cohesive whole. The animation itself serves to mostly accent the video footage, and is simple in its construction and movement. But the overall effect is pretty awesome, and definitely unique.
