Your new video is really great! I like how the shoe laces really seem to have a mind of their own. You did a good job paying attention to detail when tying the shoes. Everything transitions very smoothly which makes the shoelaces seem more realistic. I also like your decision to use a black background and to not have the shoe on a person. There was a lot of contrast which forced the viewer's attention to the shoelaces were doing. In terms of areas of improvement, my only suggestions would be to maybe make it longer and to do something that plays around with time more. Maybe have the shoelaces untie themselves? Or have the shoe go somewhere. It could be interesting to have the shoelaces do something that shoelaces don't normally do. Here you have them lacing themselves up, but maybe they could do something that doesn't actually have to do with shoes. Overall great job and nice kicks
--like the new video. the laces manage to convey the giddy excitement that you kindof feel when you get a new pair of shoes and lace them up (at least i feel a bit of that). The beginning when the laces playfully roll and twist around the shoe is a lot of fun and i think more interesting than the actual lacing part. Maybe there could be more of that, or perhaps spice up the actual lacing with a few dance moves by the laces or a plot twist where they start fighting and get all knotted up? I dont want to destroy your vision though, maybe violence isn't the moral of this story... seems more appropriate for your oil video. What changed in the oil video?
The oil video is very original (Although I have the same question as your classmates... what changed?). Concept/idea are very strong in this piece, it makes a very visual statement on how the need for oil underlies nearly all of our foreign policy and a large portion of our domestic policy. As you turn the pages of the newspaper, it occurs to me that you could probably connect oil to nearly every page of the paper. The "oil" has a dark, almost violent quality as it obliterates the images and words in its path.
