Cactus poking another cactus final


What I like:
  • Generally I have got quite a positive reaction from this gif. I think that the interaction between the two characters is quite amusing and tells a little narrative about friends annoying each other or being grumpy when woken up from a deep sleep. - So it achieves want I wanted in terms of 'saying something' or evoking a feeling. 
Problems:
  • But, I think that there a couple problems with the gif visually. The focal point of the animation is 'the poke' but this only takes up a tiny amount of the frame. I think creating a context to surround these characters has worked well, better than the egg and bread gif, however the composition distracts from this small moment and when combined with the movement of the coloured pencil becomes a bit overwhelming. 
  • In my next couple gifs I think I need to either isolate the movement - so this draws focus - or crop my frame so the key area is more prevalent.
