Heroes and Villains!

Becca's Hero and Villain

I first looked at Becca’s animation. Becca and her partner, Gretchen, decided to do their animation together. During their animation they used stick figures to represent their hero and villain. But even though they used stick figures for their characters I could still tell the difference between the two because of their different colors. The hero and villain both use the hue of blue but they use different saturations of the color. The hero uses more saturation than the villain; the villain uses more value. The hero, which is called Aqua Woman, has a lighter blue color to her, which makes her brighter, and has a warmer feeling to her and has the power to produce a lot of water by crying. Aqua Woman’s nemesis, Evaporation Girl, has a darker blue to it, which means there is more value to the color and gives this character a colder feeling unlike the hero.  Evaporation Girl’s power is to evaporate water, plain and simple. Tension and Release is used in their animation when Evaporation Girl appears before Aqua Woman and starts evaporating Aqua Woman’s water; it gives the audience tension of you don’t know if Aqua Woman is done for. But the release comes when Aqua Woman starts crying and defeats Evaporation Girl. 

The second one I looked at was Tyler's animation. Tyler and his partner decided to do their animation separately. During his animation, I felt it was very colorful and it set the mood of happiness. In the animation it had two kids standing in the rain and then Sun Boy comes and makes the rain go away. Then, the two kids are happy and start throwing a ball back and forth to each other. The character Tyler decided to animate was the hero. The hero's name was Sun Boy and he had the power of sunlight. Sun Boy had the hue of yellow, which made his hero very bright and noticeable. For Sun Boy Tyler used a lot of saturation than he did value. The only dark parts of Sun Boy was his eyes, mouth, and legs; which were black. The mood for Tyler's animation is happy and we know this because Tyler was using didactic in his animation by telling the audience what to think of his character; which was that his character is good and here to help.
