“Love and Theft” Review

Instantly the bright colours entice the viewer to fixate their eyes on the morphing character centred within the video. The morph, colours, character and music has a hypnotic effect, the viewer struggled to take their eyes off of it.

There are a range of characters that are included in the morph; from humans to superhero’s to animals and robots. The viewer finds the concept quite amazing, as they would imagine how difficult it would have been to morph one character with completely opposite features into another one.

The most obvious effect is the range of colours, they are all very bold and in some sense complementing each other. The yellow and blue complement each other in a cooling effect, they are not too bright nor harsh – they are just subtle enough for the viewer to be able to concentrate on everything that is going on.

Some of the characters are ones who the audience will recognise, in which makes the film a lot more entertaining. One of he first characters the viewer can recognise is a Spider-Man look a like. Despite most characters being very strange looking, the viewer feels as though there is a horror element to it. The morphing of the characters become quite uncomfortable as they become more and more distorted.

Overall, the viewers feeling towards this film is: more than anything it is just very satisfying to watch. The more it is watched, the more that is seen. The smoothness of the morphing plays a huge part in that. If the morph’s were slower or glitchy it would not have the same effect. Once again, the film is so satisfying that by the end you either want to see more of it or to watch it again. A morphing success in the viewers opinion.
