I didn't enjoy the doodle animation, as I don't feel that a group effort is needed for an eventual personal animation, and I didn't like the final outcome for the animation itself. I feel that, if left to work alone, I could have produced a more personal and effective outcome as I would have more time and space to fully draw my own responses to the subjects, and be able to fit everything onto the one page and make it look as though everything was 'meant' to be together. Instead of having an 'everywhere' and scruffy outcome.
The group animation, involved six pieces of paper being stuck to the wall, and then we were unleashed upon it with pens as subjects were called out to us. They first started out happy, with 'Family' and 'Love' before turning to more morose to 'War' and 'Death'. I couldn't take part much in the activity, and was only able to draw a few things onto the page as I feel that were to many people on the one task.
The outcome itself is quite messy and rushed looking (as we had time parameters for each subject) and I don't think that it works very well. Each drawing is cramped and doesn't flow smoothly into one another, lending harsh lines and bold colours to the final outcome. Each drawing differed hilariously from person to person for each subject, showing that everyone had a unique view on each subject that was shouted out. That was the one interesting aspect out of the whole experiment, as I enjoyed seeing how everyone responded to the same topic.
The animation made from it, I don't feel works either, as it's quite clumsy as it includes the people drawing the subjects, although thats through no fault of anybody's own as filming had to be from 'over' the crowd. Personally, I just don't like this style of animation, however I could see how people would like it as it is quite unique and expressive.
