flipbooks: my macbook is angry

so, my macbook is a few years old now, and a bit temperamental, and doesn't like blogger very much.  half the time it doesn't like to let me post on my own blog; i've been having serious problems commenting on other people's blogs.  it's mostly a certain style that i can't comment on.  i figure i'll post those comments here...my apologies to those folks whose blogs i couldn't comment on, but here they are:

Matyia:  absolutely love the zombie!! also loved all of the up and down movement in the margin - it made for a very interesting visual experience.  killing the zombie was my favorite part.

Cayla:  so well rendered it was a pleasure to see.  i loved the way you tied words into the cord - clever and beautiful.  so simple and well executed!

John:  beautiful colors - i love where the flower eats the little man, or pukes it out - i think i might have flipped it backwards.  either way it's really interesting...i liked that i found it interesting in both directions, but that it changed the story a little to switch the way you flip.

Sean: i loved how this animation kept returning to the line down the edge of the book.  it moved away and morphed and changed sizes, but it remained grounded in that line and i loved that.  the ending was also pretty clever

Alaina:  so cute! i like how you kept the same colors going in different ways throughout.  my favorite part was when the fishy eats the plants.  absolutely adorable i loved it!

Maureen:  so beautiful! i love how the dancer morphs and twists and moves and stretches.  beautiful.  it all works so well; i loved it!

Taylor:  really cute; i like how the tree doesn't stay solid black the entire time, but i wasn't sure how intentional that was?  it would be really cool if the black faded in and out of the tree subtly.  great story.

Nate:  really beautiful to look at, and fantastic colors.  i loved the part where the mouth is chomping and spitting close up and the way you used text in those pages.  really successful meshing of text and image.

Thuy:  also really really nice colors.  i loved the water, especially.  my favorite part was hwere the wave swallows up the boat.  it was very pretty!

Natasha:  loved your idea; it was a cool theme to pursue.  i liked the way the fishies eat each other.  i'm glad they got away from the fisherman! very cool!

Rob:  very aesthetically pleasing.  was that india ink you used?  love the way it looks when the city pops up and then starts smoking.  really visually stimulating, and a really interesting idea.
