Fruityyyy :)- pretty average attempt but - you get that . . .

Researching

As I was exploring the webiste 'Lost At E Minor,' I stumbled across a very interesting artist, Guido Daniele, who paints art, but unlike most artists he creates his art works on his hands. For example:





More of his work can be found here.

A dog playing the keyboard? What is the world coming to - looks somewhat real but who can really tell? Just thought it was interesting...

A fun filled picture, taking me back to my days at the snow! I really like the position of the sun in this photo, it just gives the photo a lighter feel and creates a happy mood.

Not too much to say, just that I really want to see this movie and that viewing this website makes me want to see it even more!!! Love Johnny Depp!!!

"Los Corazones" for Zune Arts by 72andSunny

Ok, so I don't really know much about this one, except that I really like it and that it's an ad for the product "Zune." It's combined as a website, video, both 2D and 3D animation, with use of sound again. The beginning of the video is very gloomy, with just a plain back section continuing into the red mouth with razor sharp teeth belonging to a scary bat. The majority is in 3D, however the section of the splitting hearts is seen in 2D. This is an interesting effect as we generally see one or the other. The music used combined with the movements of the well-recognised 'Fusion Dance' and the setting of the piece makes the ad eye-catching and trys to communicate to the audience the meaning. It seems it has something to do with a 'share' application on the device, but really i'm not sure as both creatures die in the end.

Michelin "Saddest Road" by Psyop

Michelin "Saddest Road" by Psyop is a form of website, animation, video, along with sound all combined. It's supposed to advertise a brand of car tires that will stop 14 feet shorter than any other tire and the voice over helps portray this. It also gives it a movie advertisment-like feel which is interesting in itself. I enjoyed this video mainly because I was attracted to the different uses of colour, the shape and texture of the animals, and also, the rainforest setting. I was intrigued by the simple contrast from dark and rainy to light and sunny and I believed it to be a great way to advertise.

Get the Glass

So I just played this game called "Get the Glass." And to put it bluntly, i sucked at it!
On a positive note, I really enjoyed it. It was an effective way to promote a product, very fast moving.
The use of the contrasting colours help to set a scene as to how you were progressing through the game with the lighter and darker settings.
The graphics seemed almost life like which was really intriguing for me as it was unexpected for a game that was created a while ago.

I found the driving section a bit of a challenge with the mouse, especially having to hold it so far infront of the van, perhaps the use of arrow keys would have helped. None the less, after the many tries I had, I got the hang of it.

Overall, quite an outstanding and attention grabbing game.
