So I chose to watch the white-board animated option for this
week’s reading and though I wasn’t expecting much, I was really impressed with
it. This video series is done by Epified and it doesn’t look like they’ve
completely finished everything yet as they’re doing one video a week but from
just watching this part A collection, I’ve been very impressed. It’s an
entirely unique and creative way of presenting this narrative epic in an
extremely simplistic but still easy to follow yet significant manner. It’s very
well done. The artist(s) are very good at what they do and the narrators do an
excellent job of explaining what is going on. It does sometimes feel a little
more like summary though and I occasionally wish it would go just a bit deeper
with the material. As a review, it’s great. I do find myself struggling with
the names often because I guess I pronounced them differently in my head when
reading them than what they’re actually supposed to be and that results in this
kind of disconnect where I don’t know who is being talked about currently at
times but usually I can get back in to the material as soon as they give some
information about what the person is doing and then I remember.
Ultimately, I wish I could do something like this. I can’t
draw and I can’t animate so I’m kind of out of luck on that front but it’s
something I think I’d really enjoy. I like writing and though I’m not the best
at it, it’s still a fun hobby of mine that I like to practice whenever I can.
Seeing things like this tempts to me to grab some animation software so I can
make my own animated stuff but I guess I know I’ll never end up doing it.
