The illusion is affected as the blending slips and as the content of the right-hand billboard wavers. But the idea is magnificent and almost perfectly executed! Agreement with Edward’s comment.

This comes across as a really mature piece of work, not a first-time effort at all. John Cooper Clarke’s “Chickentown” too, if I’m not mistaken.

Content wise- I would say they are all rather abstract, and I was expecting more of a narrative through the works. I don't fully understand what the virtual/game engine aspects of the work is, but the final products look good. I like the desaturated look you achieved by double projecting the images.

Here the sideways camera seemed unnecessary, as the beautiful reflections here would have been enough on their own. This turned into a colorful Rorshach test.. and I was straining to convert everything into a vertical image. I much preferred the bird’s eye view piece.

The overall feeling was that the characters were just there to animate the shadows, that I was watching a shadow puppet performance.The balloons were a delight.

Personally I would have preferred to have the ending back with a depopulated view, and not with the two figures still moving away. Nice framing of the wall and the book stacks.

I wasn't sure if the character was going to jump from the roof in the last one.. especially after nipping on the flask in the previous ones. Anyway, Nice juxtaposition of teh cityscape and the loose hatching lines on the figure. I like the four pieces together- they make a nice narrative.

You've put your camera in just the right place, and a real feeling of "library" comes rolling right out of the screen. I was thinking to myself "It would be nice if a couple of figures showed up on this side of the glass, instead of everything happening at the far end of the perspective", when a couple of figures did.

I also think there's a slight problem with the chair, which seems not to "belong" to the figure: it doesn't have the same fluctuating roughness of tone to it as the animation progresses. I love the composition of this one, though: the blue of the sky, the firm horizon-line, the white space in the bottom half, and the space between the figure and the city. “City Apart” - I’ve only looked at the first one so far - merits a similar comment to the one I made about “Be Surprised”: the illusion is spoilt by the foreground figure having head and shoulders cut off by a white edge at the start.

Firstly, the animation on the billboard goes out-of-frame at one point - a white edge appears across it. I think the only edge to limit the animation should be the edge of the billboard itself, otherwise the illusion that the animation is taking place on the billboard (not superimposed onto it) gets spoilt. Secondly, the image on the right-hand billboard wavers up and down in a slightly distracting manner. I do like the way the animation fades out to be replaced by lettering at the end, though.

I love seeing the origin of the animation as your hands and within the context of the street. It's like fantasy within the quotidian life. Simple gesture of your hands, in contrast with the strong gestures of your dancers. Brilliant! It also makes me think of choral music... the gesture of sustaining the scores to read, contrasting the gestures/textures of the singing. This dance is very beautiful.

Getting something from almost nothing is a major goal in this kind of short video work. I am impressed with how compelling a video you made from what would appear to be very banal material.
