This thread is a designated video watching thread so we can, as a Fan Art community, discuss a wide variety of films. We can play a short movie, a funny clip, or perhaps a Photoshop tutorial that could help us improve. We will show a video once a month; you can view the video any time during the month; afterwards, don't be afraid to speak your opinion of what you thought!

Keep checking back every month for a new video!

November's Video of the Month



Description: A naive music-lover's patience is tested on his quest to download music online, as his perspective on technology completely changes.

Tina

I thought this video was so funny, especially when he turned his computer upside down to make the bar look like it was finished. The animation was SOOO good. I can't believe a college student did this; looks very "realistic" and professional looking.

Sweet Embrace

Oh my god! That was so cute! I can totally relate! I love how he tried to blow at the loading bar Though can't say I've tried that! So good. I love little animation shorts

Tina

I thought him blowing at the bar was cute and funny too.

What did you think of the animation itself -- the colors and design?

Sweet Embrace

It was very realistic. I love animation which makes the characters very life like, not too cartoony. I love pixar so this reminded me of that and I love that no words were spoken. How about you?

Tina

I agree with everything you said. Nicely put.

Sweet Embrace

I am back so I can't wait for us to share some more videos

Tina

Me too.

More on this video:

I like how in the beginning, he was just pushing the button, and realize it wasn't plugged in.
I found it interesting that the artist use a mac computer and not a PC.
His face when it read "17 months left."
Again, his face when the bar moved backwards when he smacked it.
I wonder really what was on the disc that popped out?
I thought the ending was really well done; the end credits "scratching" to the effect of him putting the CD on the player.

Sweet Embrace

Great little notes. Nice to read your observations

Tina

Thanks.

I'm looking forward to discussing more videos.

December's Video of the Month

It's another short animation, but I couldn't pass the chance to show this to everyone. It's very cute and funny. It's really a must watch.



Description: A rookie secret agent is faced with a problem seldom covered in basic training: what to do when a curious pigeon gets trapped inside your multi-million dollar, government-issued nuclear briefcase.

Tina

I thought it was very cute! I lol'd when the pigeon took control of the "briefcase" and kept pushing the buttons; seeing bullets flying every which way.

I thought the designer did a great job making everything look realistic.

What are your thoughts?

Tina

Detopping until there is more interest.
