Don't be too quick to judge!




Okay so I've just stumbled upon a really nice piece of animation for My Little Pony made by Feedsy. What I love most about this video are the transitions. The transitions are very creative, full of life and most of all, incredibly smooth.
The animation and visuals were created using a blend of both After Effects and Photoshop from the new Adobe CS6. I've yet to try out the new versions myself but I'm very excited to mess around with the new feature and to see how much of a difference the Adobe Mercury Graphics Engine makes.
Anyways, back to the animation~
It was inspired by 'Vanishing Point' which was made by Motions Graphic Designer Takuya Hosogane. This video was another big hit with me and I can see why it was fuel for such inspiration. The fluent movements and actions in response to the music is flawless.
Overall, I really love this piece~ Quite simple graphic wise with nice fluid movement, not to mention the ticklish music! Gotta love it! It somewhat reminded me of Takashi Murakami's work, specifically the advertisement he made for Luis Vuitton. I think it was the combination of colours, music and pacing of the animation that brought about my comparison, particularly the similarity of the music.
