Promoting Good Animation
I’m always on social media searching for animation that catch my eye and inspire me to get better at creating my own animation projects. I came across a new music video for Childish Gambino’s song “Feels Like Summer” and its a full animation visual that is very beautiful and just puts me in a positive mood.

The style of this animation has a beautiful monochromatic color palette. Using the natural colors of the sunset to set the mood of the music video which I feel is relaxing and all about having a good time during the summer. The colors aren’t overwhelmingly bright or dark. Making me feel that its giving off the impression that the day might be ending but the characters are just as active and having fun now as they probably would be during the day.
The characters movements look as if they are being recorded on film, where it comes off a bit choppy but still flows for the most part smoothly.
Also as you watch the video, it has a vintage vhs tape filter applied to it. As I see this emulates that old vhs style, it brings me back to the days of being a kid. Reminding me of watching old vhs tapes of old cartoons from the 1930’s.

Overall I feel the animation works well, it truly feels like an graphic novel in is brought to motion. Which also brings plenty of personality for each of the characters and carries a positive message behind it of positivity.
