Interim crit

It's been nearly a week since my crit, but here is my feedback.

It wasn't quite a crit, as i really haven't produced enough. David commented that i need to look at already existing stuff that goes with music to see what really flows with any music. So basically watch visuals and see if other music goes to it. Something, i probably should have done from the start. 

I also need to create visuals that are interesting and engaging to look at, but that are simply eye candy, and also that it doesn't lead to any story, as this will distract people from the music. 

I'm starting to think that there's not a lot of brains to this project, which should probably make it a lot easier, but i am finding it quite hard. I really do enjoy telling stories, no matter how crap they are, so in hindsight now i do think i should have done something with more of a narrative. This may, may have made things slightly simpler. But really, i'm just making excuses, i should be a lot further along than i am now. 

Really basic stop animations i made and showed at the crit. These were just to experiment with the types of paper, and the movements that i liked. Most people seemed to like the one with the spikes, as more is going on and more interesting really. I really like the envelope one really, but this may be because i love envelopes.
