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...

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.

The flow of the type in those instrument is awkward, especially the way it fade out of the composition. I would rather let it stay there and let it disappear with the instrument it self. That way people's eyes could focus more on the image on the background. The movement of the image on the background is also not consistence, some is moving nicely, but some are moving weird such as at frame 0:40 as an example, the head and elbow of the lady is moving at the same time.

Title Sequence For Chicago Movie from Anita Kolop on Vimeo.


The letter C using as an earring is cool, but the type zoom out with ugly drop shadow. I would get rid of the drop shadow. And the scale of the letter C is really big compare to the rest of the letter, "Chicago" I would scale it down as the same side as the rest of the letters.
This animation showing the pieces of red leg and head in a weird transition.
At 37 second,  the lock just pop up randomly, i would find a better transition than this. The spot light usually running around while in this shot at 39 second, the spot light isn't move anywhere, which is awkward compare to the other shot. 

The microphone look similar like a comb, doesn't read as microphone clearly.
And the last slide is the issue of the "film" that is rotating in a slow and weird angle.

 This title sequence is nicely done, however I think the type that reveal in white overlapping the dripping blood is hard to read. It should have been move those type to the other side of the blood being drop. Another problem is when they try to using a shot of glass of water that has blood in it, they shouldn't used it as a transparency overlap the shot that they try to reveal the pomegranate. It should be either take it out or reveal it more clearly not to blend together make viewer confuse to what to see.
