This animation was very intriguing. I feel the video was the epitome of Flash animation. For example, the use of the camera movement in the beginning was great. I loved how it started from the top of the trees to focusing on a character. Also, there were camera movements that zoomed into the characters facial expressions to emphasize their feelings because their is no dialogue. My favorite element of the video were the uses of highlights and shadows. Adam Phillips had the sunlight only hit part of the objects and brightened those highlighted colors. Also, when Bitey was walking through the forest, he was darker and then the color transitioned to a brighter tone as he walked into the field. Then, the camera zoomed out and the character was almost a black color with a white highlight to create a far away feeling. While I was watching this video, I kept thinking about how many layers and symbols were used. I feel like we have learned most of the elements and tools he has used, but Phillips expanded and created a masterpiece to me. I also enjoyed the eye blinking and the background sounds to create a sense of realism. Lastly, I enjoyed the little sparkles from the sunshine and water. It seemed to me that he might have used the glow filter and motion tweens to make them sparkle. In the beginning of this course, we would watch animations and be in awe of how the artists created them. Now, I love how in this video, I have a better understanding and relation to the creation of Bitey and the amazing stories of Adam Phillips. :)
