Hero - I really like the goofy animation of the bouncing worm. Media is always better when it is created with humor in mind. The worm moves perpendicular to the ground and the birds flying at it. I was specifially critiquing the movement of this animation. There are overlapping movements when the bird is flying at the worm and it bounced up and comes smashing down on it. I like how the worm appears to bounce when it hits the ground. This is somewhat like the squash and stretch technique. There's not a lot to critique in this animation, seeing as it is repeated several times, with only a slight variation.
Villain - I also found this animation very humorous. The same pattern of the bird moving up and down is interrupted only at the end, when it swoops down and punches a worm. The bird is moving vertically, up and down. The villain character appears to have very minimal "weight". The bird does flap its wings as it is in flight, but there is not much else occurring in this simple animation. I don't believe there is any parallel movement present.

For this project, I believe that this group did a very good job at showing the contrast and affinity between the hero and the villain. The hero is quite obviously a lot brighter than the villain, and in contrast, the villain is a lot darker than the hero. Along with the brightness of the two characters, the colors that were chosen also reflected the character's incentives. The colors of the hero are blue and yellow which are very soft and can be linked to things with good intentions. In contrast, the colors of the villain are dark colors like black and red which are linked to evil intentions. Another thing that was done very well is the use of saturation. The villain's colors seem to be more saturated than the heros making them seem a lot deeper and darker as opposed to the lightness of the hero.
