One of the recurring patterns that I found most inspiring was the recurring geometric shapes, especially circles. \u00a0These two images show somewhat conflicting messages of nature, utilizing circles to do so. The first depicts\u00a0an aerial view of the forest with the ominous presence of a crow, while the second is less ominous with more light and a sense of simplicity. Circles convey a sense of power; the one strong circle taking up the screen in the first image seems more threatening and ominous than the repeated circles in the second image. These images also give a sense of perspective. In the first image, seeing the forest from an aerial perspective shows its true expanse, while the second image has an outsider perspective that conveys nature as a less threatening force. I think these two screen captures are cohesive but also convey differing representations of nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I really enjoyed the storyline of the Secret of Kells, what captivated me most was the intricacies of its animation.
