Week 1

So I decided to watch two videos not viewed in class. The first that I watched was "How a Mosquito Operates" by Winsor McCay and just like in "Gertie the Dinosaur", there seems to always be movement in the animation. I thought it was very clever that he made the mosquito wear a hat and had a briefcase like he was off to his job to bite this man. The other video I watched was "Beyond the Clouds" by Makoto Shinkai and it was interesting to watch something so current after watching something very, very old. Though I'm usually not a fan of any kind of anime, I really enjoyed the graphics and the way the video flowed.
