Thing 10

Below is a great video using 1920's style animation. This video was a student project made at Cornell University in Lynn Tomlinson's Film 325 summer course.



Add comments to the video you embedded. Why did you select it? Were you also able to download a video?

I selected this video because it showed an incredible creativity in faithfully recreating the style of animation shown in early Disney and Mickey Mouse cartoons. It's interesting to see just how much can be conveyed in simple (??!!??) drawing and carefully chosen sounds. This is one of the few videos I found on YouTube that exhibited a high level of planning and execution and quality in the final product.

I was able to download a video to my computer. Zamzar opens up a lot of options for me and for my video production course. I'm going to do some additional exploring and will be thinking about YouTube in a somewhat different light.
