If I could ask the director 1 thing about this film is why did the runner mess up the bears flower pot instead of going around the flower pot
ReplyDeleteThis was a good film, and it had humor which made it even better! I enjoyed watching this video.
ReplyDeleteThis was entertaining (J.O.E)
ReplyDeleteThe hook for me was when the bear almost killed the boy because i thought he was going to die
ReplyDeleteThe hook for me was the fact that every time the boy tried to get across the bear would stop him and hurt in some type of way and that made it hard for him to deliver the mail
ReplyDeleteFirst off i want to say how i admire the fact that students made this. It was very appealing to me and i admired how they made such wonderful pieces of art in the world of film making. They inspired me to want to do something like this to be able to make such wonderful pieces of art in the world of film making. However i didn't like a specific scene in the movie when it turned into a mild violence scene however that one scene did not effect me in my overall enjoyment of the movie.
ReplyDeletethis film was so funny to watch and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThe hook for me was that spiro been trying to deliver this letter for which I
ReplyDeletethink they where playing a ship game.
It did catch my attention because it was a nice animation that I really enjoyed and liked.
The film was very predictable, I liked the film because it was type long but not that long it was also very nice. Because the kid was trying to deliver the letter to the other guy and the bear kept stoping him from getting it to the other side of the forest.
I would recommend this film to a peer, it's a good film and i really enjoyed watching it. I liked the film because it was put time and effort into it. i would recommend it to a peer because it's a good animation. It was nice and i liked it.
I just realized that this film have special effects to stated my comment , If you see the video on one of the scene it shows " The boy with some goggles but really was his hands "
ReplyDelete1. The hook for me was when he got past the bear and the squirl broke the branch so that the trap can go and the bear would wake up .
ReplyDelete2. no it was ineffective becuase it didnt show me anything that i really need to now .I also know he didnt give up.
3. Yes this film was predicable becuase when i seen the first time he went the bear wasnt gonna let
4.yes i would reccomend this to my friend becuase this is entertaining . even though this is a childish kind it is better for anybody
In the first response who are you talking about when you said when he got past the bear who's "he"
DeleteThe hook for me was when the bear showed up and didn't want the person to pass through its territory. It was effective in grabbing my attention because i wanted to see how he was going to get to the other side. NO this film was not predictable because he kept trying new ridiculous ways to try to get across the forest. I would recommend this film to a peer because it was entertaining to watch. Like when the person fell flat on his face.
ReplyDeleteThe hook for me is the bear because as soon as I saw it I knew their was going to be conflict between the guy and the bear. It was effective in grabbing my attention because I wanted to see the outcome of the guy trying to get to the other side. This film was somewhat predictable because as soon as I saw the bear I knew that the guy was gonna have a problem getting that letter to it's destination. I would probably recommend this film to a peer because it was quite interesting to watch such as the part where the guy ruined the bear's flowers.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very thorough response to the assignment prompt. I loved that you cited specific examples from the film to help support your observations. Keep up the good work.

DeleteQ) Would you recommend this film to a peer? Why or why not?
ReplyDeleteA) No, I would not recommend this film to a peer due to the fact that I didn't find it interesting. Also, I don't think it's fit for our age group, it seems like its for little kids. Thats why I wouldn't recommend this film to a peer.
Thanks for your honest opinion. Remember in the future to cite specific examples from the film along with the incorporation of film vocabulary when responding to the prompts.
DeleteThe hook for me was the kid and the bear fighting and the kid trying to get to the other side. also i liked the graphics and i wanna make my film/animation like this i wanna learn how to make it like this and i wanna relate to this video this is like tom and jerry how the cat hates the mouse. I just wanna start my animation and make it like this one. This animation was funny and interesting thats how i wanna make my film.
ReplyDeletenJoshua, I loved your connection to the Tom and Jerry toons. These students actually wanted to recreate a Merry Melodies vibe. That's straight up Warner Brothers, for my generation, the very best of these types of cartoons. We will start on your animation soon, maybe with the Commercial Updates.
DeleteI wish I could ask the director "who made all the effects to this video" ..

ReplyDeletethe hook is when the bear was mad at the spiro,and the bear beat him
ReplyDeleteEven though the video didn't have any "talking"i was able to understand buz the director made sure to breate a way of showing the viewers what is going on J.O.E
ReplyDeleteI Really like This Film Its Very Nice, When I Saw This I Fell In Love With It because i like cartoons & i enjoy watching it with my little sister its remind me of my child hood memories when i use to watch cartoons with my sister.
ReplyDeleteloved this great work
ReplyDeleteThe hook for me was how the kid and the bear fought and the different types of techniques he used like when he tricked the bear with flowers
ReplyDeleteIt did grab my attention the humor used in this film and i like the characters thats in this specific film. What grabbed my attention mostly is how the kid
The hook in this film in my opinion was that the bear and the kid were fighting because the bear wanted to protect his garden.But the bear let his guard down when the kid gave him flowers.But the thing he didn't know was that the kid tricked the bear into believing that he wasn't trying to get across his garden.Although the boy did get across he had to deliver another message to where his father wanted toy go.
ReplyDeleteThis was very cute and creative.
ReplyDeleteThis film had many good filming angles. I would recommend this film to people who like funny comedies. I really like the film even though it was in a foreign way. This is why i like this film.
ReplyDeleteIt was very entertaining and funny i enjoyed the film for the most part it could've been better though
ReplyDeleteFINALLY! Some good animation with a hilarious story. Love the style. This type of humor isn't easy to pull off and this team did it! Well done! What a relief to see people making quality shorts with an old school feel. Thank you! must of took a long time to pull of but kit was worth it!
ReplyDeletethere was no hook for me because this video was uninteresting.
ReplyDeletethis video was not grab my attention because it was boring
The hook for me was nothing because the video was not interesting maybe for 5 year olds. I can't lie the graphics were alright. This video reminds me of dora when she try's to cross the bridge with the troll and kinda like tom and jerry. If I could ask the director something I would ask him what age is this video towards too?
ReplyDeleteQ) what was the hook ?
ReplyDeleteA) the hook for me was the boy and bear fighting. The boy was trying to get to the other side but the bear wouldn't let him.
The hook for me was when the man was trying to go to the woods but the bear wouldn't let him. So he tried so many times to get through. It was effective because it was entertaining and also funny but it grab my attention. I think this film was predictable because I believe this would happen in real life. I would recommend this to a film peer because the person would enjoy it. But the person that I would recommend to would be Denaisa because I read her comment and it seems like she enjoyed it.
ReplyDeletethe hook for me was that the boy was brave enough to face the bear. it was effective because usually i don't pay attention to videos like this. but this one just hooked my attention ,it was funny ,and entertaining , yes it was predictable because you would realize whats going to happen next. no i would not recommend this to any of my peers because its not something that is important , and i think they wouldn't care .
ReplyDeleteThis was great because this reminds me of my childhood and I enjoy watching this me and my little brother and my cousin enjoyed .alsso the hook for me was when the boy tried to face the bear and then got him self into a messy situation,were on the other hand he can't got out just because he was scared of the animals that was in the forest.
