I really like Storytime by Terry Gilliam.

I really enjoyed the storytelling and editing of the images in the video. The video utilizes collage techniques with various architectural elements and edits of characters. The creators pieced them together to form a dynamic video. Each seemingly mismatched image, when collaged together, brings unexpected surprises, giving me a sense of whimsical humor.

I really like "Climate Change Animation" by thecreatoDOTrs

I like how the author uses the theme at the beginning to tell me what the purpose of the video is. The graphics, patterns, and transitions between them are all particularly smooth and fitting to the theme. The author's narrative approach is to tell the audience the story from the source, and then gradually distinguish how climate change will harm people. Set against the backdrop of the music, the overall style of the video gives a sense of seriousness, heaviness, and helplessness.

I really like North by Northwest (1959) title sequence by Saul Bass.

I really liked the way the creator designed the text layout and effects in the video. The presentation was very smooth. It started with just a green background and lines, gradually transforming into the image of a street illuminated by the windows of buildings. The hustle and bustle of the crowd added to the sense of busyness, a common state in society. The pedestrians all had serious expressions, coupled with the fast-paced background music. It made me feel the busy and fulfilling life of people in the city.

I really like Day and Night by Jan Svankmajer.

From this short film, I can see the time and effort the author has put into it.I particularly enjoy how they have used this quirky approach to film the basic parts of the body. personifying them with a dark sense of humor. The transition from individual hands to assembling a complete body is done seamlessly, and I especially appreciate the way they've filmed the hands, with clay details and textures adding to their realism. As the hands begin to assemble the body, it almost feels like a real person's hands are orchestrating everything. Overall, This short film carries a captivating concept that keeps the viewer engaged.

I really like the Walking By Ryan Larkin.

I really like the author's depiction of the character's body and the changes in lines. He depicts the human body very realistically. When the characters start moving around, their movements are very smooth. Especially the man at the end walking alone with his hands in his pockets. The color changes on his body are particularly diverse, sometimes becoming very realistic and sometimes only having a black outline. The author also presents people's various walking styles. Each character's walking posture and body shape have their own unique style. I also particularly like his painting style, which looks both retro and refined. It can be seen from this artwork that the author used his own eyes to remember the shape of each passer-by and vividly depict the characteristics of the passers-by.
