From start to finish I LOVED this animation. Mostly down to the zooming in and outs and how the matches sweep in and out and across the screen. There is so much movement, but I love it. Now for my animation I want it to start with a zoom in of a house, just like how this animation zooms in on the door, and in on the matches. It's a very slow zoom, but very effective and smooth. I know there are numerous types of zooms you can do and often a quick zoom is successful, but since I am animating frame by frame in Photoshop, i'm not sure I could do this without making it look jumpy, personally. Where as doing a slow zoom I feel would be more comfortable for me.
From this piece I have realised that there are so many takes on how to draw matchsticks and how to animate fire. I love how 'hand-made' and 'crafty' this piece feels, but i'm not sure I would draw mine in this way either, I like how they move towards each other and set each other on fire, so I may take influence from this, but I love how even contemporary animation still has the ability to feel hand made and innovative.
