Blog 8B: Written Reflection on the Hero/Villain assignment


 Hero and Villain drawings and animation below in another post or at:


Angela Salerno

            Angela’s animations used COLOR very well between the two different animations of the Hero and the Villain. The hero has a HUE of bright colors in Pink and Light Blue. The villain on the other hand uses a Hue of Dark colors like Black and Red. The SATURATION in colors also play a key role in making the hero and villain portray as the do. The saturation for the hero’s colors ads lots of white to the base colors, which gives the hero’s colors a lighter look. The saturation for the villain’s colors has very little saturation in the actual colors making them very dark. Both animations also had ore than just the hero and villain moving around in it. The hero’s animation had him fighting what seems so be some type of evil monster. The Villain’s animation had him destroying the world with a power ball that comes out of his hands. Angela’s animations had a CONTRAST AND AFFINITY between them. The biggest affinity between the two animations is the fact that both animations had the hero and villain as stick figures. A big contrast between the two animations were what the characters where wearing. The hero had a tutu to represent him when the villain had a cape to represent who he was. The hero’s animation also used TENSION AND RELEASE in it. The animation started of with the character moving around then it went to the hero fighting building up the tension then went back to the familiar after the hero defeated a monster.


Brandon Reid

            Brandon’s character’s drawling of his hero and villain use the concept of LIGHTING very will in it. The hero and villain look completely opposite from one another making it hard to relate the hero and villain to on another. The SHADOWS on the villain’s body from light to dark adds lots to the characters depth especially on the villain’s shirt. The hero doesn’t really use shadows on his body really but the background of the hero’s animation has lots of shadows creating depth in the background. The lighting plays a huge role on affecting the MOOD of the animation and drawings.  The lighting in the hero’s drawing makes you feel like the hero is actually is the villain because of the way it is drawn and lit. The villain’s drawing makes you feel the opposite because he is drawn on a background that is lit white making him feel like the hero. Brandon’s characters give off an ACTIVE AND DIDACTIC theme. The way that the characters are drawn can give the audience the option to pick which one they think would be the hero or villain. The way the drawings are didactic is that the Bandon tells you which character is the hero and villain. Brandon’s drawing also gives off a real strong TEXT AND SUBTEXT. The way his drawings give off text is that you can tell what and who the hero and villain are at face value. The subtext in the in the drawings is that you can tell what some of the back-story is on the characters just by looking at the drawing.
 




Mary Swick

            Mary’s Characters do an amazing job at using COLOR to really express her characters expressions and actions. Her hero has a HUE that is very light in nature with the Light Green, Orange, white, and Light Brown. Her color selection for her hero named Finnagin portrays the perfect Scotts Man. Her villain named Sinastra has a hue that is perfect for a villain that is an evil Scotts Lady with colors like Dark Blue, Dark Green, Purple, and Black. The SATURATION in the colors that Mary picked for the hero Finnagin and the villain Sinastra vary as well. Finnagin the hero has colors with a high saturation because his colors are lighter. The villain, Sinastra, has low saturation because the colors used in her drawings are very dark and evil like. Her animation of Finnagin and Sinastra are two stick figures one green and the other purple doing a Scottish dance. Mary’s character drawings on Finnagin and Sinastra have a lot of CONTRAST AND AFFINITY. The two characters were drawn in such a way that you can tell that they go hand in hand with one another. The affinity between the two drawings is the characters structure and color, which go hand in hand with one another. The only big contrast between the two drawings is that Finnagin is a guy and Sinastra is a girl. Mary’s drawings use TENSION AND RELEASE as well. The Tension Is Sinastra her self when looking at her just because of the way she is drawn it gives off a tensed feeling.
