Listing Error and Difficulty in leaning After Effect

In general, I have difficulty with my computer speed. I would recommend for next class, everyone should have a higher RAM and Space for their computer in order to work on this animation software. I don't have much an error which sometime i do but have a missing file, so I found a tutorial that fix this problem, so please check out this video below here.

This looks pretty good, but it looks mechanical. I think he/she could make this seem more fluid if he/she could figure out a way to make things happen together. Right now, it seems like each element happens one after the other...maybe he/she could make the animations overlap a little more. Maybe you could add a slight bulge or turbulent displace to the people hold hands as it zooms in. Adding slight distortions to effects makes them appear more fluid.

The Hit List title sequence




Alignment of the type is really bothering me, I don't know it might be a style of a designer. And the other hand, the floating image is kinda awkward from opposite direction, and the timing is slow, i would make everyday go slightly a little faster.

Nicely done with the design. The only thing that I'd criticize is that the whole thing moves a little too fast. You don't really get time to absorb the image and the name. Otherwise it was great. Timing is the tool...

Video Critique 6

Title Sequence from Lami Okrekson on Vimeo.





The white golf ball substitute with the "i" letter is nice, however isn't that golf ball should be move down a little to read as "i"? And on frame 0:11 the golf ball is kinda "suck" or "float" there on the screen without interact anything with the type while other shots are interacting with typography.

The white typography is really good, however it lost the readability and legibility after it switch the dark background to a lighter background, it's hard to read the white type on a light background. I would change the type color to a little bit darker if there is light background switch in. And another issue is that the flower is kinda floating in instead of growing, i would love to see it growing from the bottom instead of floating from side to side, bottom to the upper screen.

The simplicity of this video is nicely done, however there is a bit issue on the way he/she handle the type that appear beneath the hand. I would not see it edge when the hand cover, then when the hand move out, it reveals the type right away.
