Light Everyday: - It is very creative and has a good use of color and shapes. There is sense of time with the beginning sequence of walking in the door and the changing colors also add to the change in time. Unique idea that is pretty abstract, but it is hard to follow at the end with all the colors and I wasn't quite sure what I was looking at.Maybe at the end there could be something that ties it up in a way that makes the colors more clear and gives the film more concreteness.
Trapped: - I remember the older version of this and really liked it, and the revised one add more to it and adds another scene besides just the drawing. There is use of time with the drawing changing and growing which is done really well. It is engaging and really creative and the drawing doesn't change in an awkward way. I don't really know what you could improve upon because I think that you already did this when you revised the older one.
Light Everyday is unique because it implies that we have somehow jumped inside your head (through your ear canal). Your pseudo-scientific story starts out with images that look almost like you've placed a camera into your ear canal, then morph into pure light-abstraction. I like the fact that you are starting from reality, bringing us into an almost scientific macro view of the body, then pulling us into abstraction. I agree with Heather that the ending in colored light feels like it lacks something-- I'm not sure you need to be entirely concrete, or answer all of our questions as viewers, but perhaps you show us "real" light (sun light, a light bulb, white light (all colors) or perhaps even shadow or darkness.
Trapped is shows off your drawing skills, the figures are quite impressively animated (especially since you are drawing and redrawing!). I like the somewhat open-ended narrative, as well as the addition of the hole in the paper that draws attention to the material itself.
