fellow contributor herculano, shared this movie about his experience as an animator at northeastern university. i think he did a really good job, compared to the other kids who did the same assignment at his previous co-op at EdTech. they were restricted to use only iPhoto to create their little narrative, which would be used to teach faculty the potential of the software. the thing i appreciate the most is that all of the motions were considered and thoughtful, unlike other videos where there's way too much panning, zooming in and out -- really just doing it because they could. it doesn't feel like a slideshow, which is the problem the other movies have. the choice of music and phrasing, though sometimes rushed, helped move the story along; his tone of voice sounded like a reader from 'this american life.' it wouldn't have hurt to slow down more though.
but the type -- it needs a little more work, kid ;]
it's time for the world to know how hard these art kids work.
Although there are a lot of issues with government, environment, and society in China (which would best be discussed in another forum), it's seeing photos like this that makes me really glad that the Olympics are held in Beijing this year.
Inspiredology's goal is to find and post about things that will hopefully inspire you to get out of that creative rut you sometimes find yourself in. There is a heavy emphasis on website design, as well as design in general. I find the entry on business card design to be very interesting, and it makes me want to redesign my own. I thought this was subtly cute:
And speaking of the source of this inspiration, here are some puppies and flowers for you, dear Shift-Click bloggers. ;)
