I decided to do my reflection on Emily and Kahonwentha’s stop animation video because I appreciated how real their story was, how well put together it was and the transition between drawings and real life. I liked how significant the song was in respect to the story they were trying to tell. It really did have an impact on the whole experience. I really liked how they started out by drawing a red balloon then turned the balloon into real life and took the balloon all around the school. In my opinion, the red balloon was symbolized us as people, leaving our comfort zone and going on adventures, exploring & experiencing new things. It symbolized putting our dreams (the drawings) into action (real life). I also liked how their colours were very positive & bright. I also really liked how they used a hand as the transition from the drawings in black and white to those in colour. It shows how the just by us putting our thought into action or just standing up & taking action in our own lives, we can add colour & happiness. We have the power to do whatever we so please in our lives because we are the makers of our destiny. The frames were all steady & the lighting & filming were very consistent. Overall they did a very good job, it was simple but unique & very well put together. Their story line was very clear and that is what I think made there video so captivating. I also really liked how there was a hand that made the drawing black and white change into colour.
