Central Park Mood reference

http://vimeo.com/16617991

I took a bunch of pictures in Central Park on Friday.
Since it's winter time, leaves are gone and grass turned pale.
Only tree branches over my head and cold breeze in the air.
It's chilly relating to my Central Park theme.

I found this video recording light in the daytime in CP, I believe in late spring or early summer,
the color looks so vibrant and calming as well.
Fits so much better with my theme...

Fun Motion Graphics

I love its dynamic scene transition, such as camera pan, zoom out, changing focus etc.
However, it's kind of a stereotype just-want-to-catch-eye movie.

Textured typography

The mood created by the textual content and voice over is soft and deep.
Cool.

Here's another simple video by Nessim Higson.

I love the texture of the letters, like old school signage style.
Also the copy write is clever: "Less always wins more, or less always wins more or less."

Tasty motion graphics

Really good color expression and animation skills...

Graphic style is a really important part of animation..

information visualized

This is not a video done by flash or aftereffect. I think it is done by hand drawing and a camera.

It organizes the academic content into funny drawings and key notes, and make it fairly easy to understand. In our assignment one, I find it hard to transit from one scene to another, go from one point to another, While this video transit between different points smoothly.

I am also fascinated by the hand drawn quality. 

I think it a cool motion graphic video explaining the crisis of credit in a vivid way. By a closer look, I find the use of arrows really helps clarifying the relationship of different characters. 

The style of vector graphic is humorous and interesting.

Cool motion graphic (I particularly like the texture)
