Vertical Pixillation- My Thoughts and Findings.

This is a very simple explanation of Vertical Pixillation. Its normal Pixillation but from directly above and with the people laying on their sides. Its that simple on the surface but it can be made into a really complex and beautiful piece's of art and film in one. The moving of  all of the individual pieces is the key to the success of the piece and the more detailed in the movements you can be the better. Its a mark of quality when the frame rate can stay the same and the movement of the pieces looks clean and smooth.

Watching pieces Like Her Morning Elegance and Sorry I'm Late are really good examples of pieces of work that focus very much on the detailed movements. It shows in these two pieces due to the fact that all of the movement is executed with very little drops in frame rate, that shows that there was a lot of dedication to the precise movements of the actor and the props. The dedication is what makes these pieces look so good. The ideas behind it are fairly standard and nothing spectacular but its the way its executed. Any one could replicate this piece with some time and effort but its still a joy to watch because of the effort and clarity of the pieces.
Sorry Im Late by Tomas Manskovsky is a very interesting piece as I really don't understand its goal other than to look fun and interesting. I can only assume from the title that he is late to seeing someone important to him. Possibly his Girlfriend but it is not entirely clear. While I cannot comment on the story and its direction I can comment on the piece on a whole. Watching the piece itself is enjoyable. as mentioned before quality is the main aspect here but other then that the way the video progresses is what is enjoyable.

The props they are using are a great variety for the small animation. My personal favourite is the car that is used at the end. What I like about the car is how they use it. They were not afraid to have a hand showing moving the car. Because of this the piece still looks really nice and I just personally enjoy the effect.

Over all I really don't think much of the piece. Its great but it just doesn't draw me in like Her Morning Elegance does. But that has nothing to do with its superb quality just how I just don't really get it.

With Her Morning Elegance you can see that there is a story to the movements and the setting that it is based in. When looking at the piece you may not initially get this but if you look at the setting of the bed and the fact that she is asleep during it possibly shows that this is a physical manifestation of her dreaming. It's revolved around her traveling through many different places, the ocean and the sky included, and eventually ending with her curled up to an unknown male who then vanishes as she awakes. I interpret this as her longing to find the Ying to her Yang. As evidenced by the Ying and Yang symbol made from their bodies.

But because she is reaching out only in her dreams. As soon as she wakes her dream is shattered leaving her alone on the bed. The journey she takes in her dream symbolizes how she will search high and low to find that one man to be her other half. Its a very deep and meaningful story performed spectacularly and the style  of vertical pixilation was very key to its success.
