Monty Python and the Holy Graphics - Project #1 FINAL CRITIQUE

Motion Graphics Art 3312 - 101 - Project #1

This is an animated typographical rendition of the "French Taunting" scene from the 1975 British comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, made with Adobe After Effects. Out of the many memorable scenes from the film, I chose this one because it has very colorful language which paints a picture on it's own without needing the use of picture itself.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail was originally a film later adapted into a Broadway production in 2005. Like the other Monty Python films and television series, Holy Grail was produced to be a mock-stage play, a film which relied heavily on less-than-sincere theatrical techniques, including stage left-to-right setting, audience-oriented voice projection (with the occasional breaking of the fourth wall,) and re-purposed actors and props. The actors lay on the cheesiness even thicker with their unconventional acting and outrageous character development. In a nutshell, you could say the film was made to be a 'bad play' but achieved just the opposite in ratings and reviews, with a very dedicated fan following.
I made this piece to resemble the poor but genuine quality of the film, with wacky stage presence, unnecessary incidents, and the occasional malfunction of the set. If there was anything I'd have done differently, it's spent time making the words come to life with more 3D effects and shadows to make them appear as if on a stage themselves.
Enjoy.

First Critique

Due to recent events in life, this is all that I have done of this project because I've had to rate other classes on a higher priority than this one in the tightened time frame I've had. But now life is back to normal and I will be caught up to speed on this project with this coming weekend. So far, this is what progress I have made on "Monty Python and the Holy Graphics," a word play on the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
