Reactions to previous project

It was a quiet afternoon, until...

This project was my favorite one overall, but unfortunately it was also the one that could have used the most extra work. Overall, it did have a positive reception. People tended to view it as cute or funny, and someone even said it would be terrifying to be eaten by a giant cat. It seemed like in general, everyone liked the idea behind this project. However, the lighting was off on a couple of the frames- the human subject should have been a bit darker in a few of them.

Recycle

I was surprised how popular this one was. Personally, I was worried that it wasn't interesting or edgy enough on its own, but the class seemed to think the opposite. Someone even said it was her favorite piece I've shown yet in the entire class. She also said that it was the first one where she couldn't see any little changes or adjustments that I should have made to it. I was very pleased with this, and as I said, surprised at its positive reception. Someone else suggested that a jumping off point could be to show the human bodies and body parts in their final destinations- show what they are being recycled into and used for.

Monstruo de los Ojos

This one didn't really elicit any kind of reaction from the audience this time around. It seemed to be a general consensus that the eyes on the hands were well done and convincing and that it was kind of creepy though. I'm not sure if this was because no one is familiar with Pan's Labyrinth and the scene this is based from, or because the image isn't interesting enough to capture people's interest.

Carve

This image was mostly received as being kind of creepy. Not much was said about it, except that the knife should have been a little brighter to make it stand out more. I did brighten the edge of the blade, but I guess I didn't do it enough to make the whole thing visible. Someone thought an interesting secondary image would be showing the pumpkin man's reaction to seeing a carved pumpkin, which I thought would be amusing.
