One of my favorite animations is “Song” by Brenda Cardenas. What I thought was unique about this animation compared to the others was how it was made. The animation looks like it is in layers. Some of the layers are different textures, which gives it even more of a layered effect. For example, the man looking at the sunset and ocean looks like he is made of clay while the background looks like it was made on the computer. Like all the other animations, I also like how each phrase of the poem is animated to match its meaning. For example, the phrase “I glimpse their backs, volcanoes rising out of the sea,” is animated with whales jumping out of the water. The man is looking out at the sea, and the whales look like volcanoes coming out of the ocean. It is really cool to see how many different ways you can perceive a phrase. For my poem animation, I want to be able to match phrases with an animation that gives it more meaning than just what it is saying.

This animation is different than “Song” in a few ways. First, it is done using almost all drawings, and second, the animation does not give a “different” meaning to each phrase of the poem. The words match what is going on in the animation exactly, unlike “Song” where the animations give the text an alternate meaning. For example, the phrase “that’s right, he’s baldy,” shows a drawing of a bald man. It is simple and follows the poem exactly. I also found it very weird that the entire animation used drawings except the end with the Sears background. This showed me a different way to use animations (the drawing technique). I had never thought of doing an entire animation in drawing. It gives the poem a different effect.
