The Radiohead music video that we watched in class today was interesting, it was a different approach to animation than what we'v been shown. The detail of the mouth movements was very good, it had the shape of a real mouth when the figure was singing and the mouth stayed open when the long notes were held. Very good focus on the detail of the mouth to be ontime with the singing. I also like the "wipes" they used when changing scenes, it was almost as it the next scene fell ontop of the old one wiping in away. They had a good shot of when the guy was singing and you can see him through the window and also see the building from the outside looking in. I also liked how the credits had the picture of the keyframes from FLASH.

I liked how the credits were placed into certain shapes that would be moving to attract your eye and then when the name appeared, the movement would stop or slow down so that our eye can focus on the name and read it. Also, the credits that were put into the rain cloud that followed the car as it drove down the road was a clever idea. The whole credits idea was very well thought out, it almost seemed to be a "pre-movie" of the movie as the credits ran. Even at the end when they were doing the cast, they had a texturized background which made it stand out more than having a black background of a typical film.
