"The Second Wind" Video

Second Wind from Ian Worrel on Vimeo.

            “The Second Wind” was a very well-done video. The settings had very geometric feel to them, however the characters and their props had very soft, curved lines. I appreciated the art in this video, and how the creator used line styles, and colors to present a specific mood. When the pinwheel and the large cat fight with the wind, the entire picture was in varying shades of red, reflecting the cat’s rage. I also noticed the small details, such as how the man’s eye color changed from green, to blue, to grey. Attention to detail is one of my favorite qualities in an artist’s work. Finally, the changes in line shape added another dimension to the film. As the cat grew more and more agitated, the lines making up it’s form became straighter, and shorter, making it seem that the cat’s fur was standing straight up! Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this video, and would recommend it to anyone!
