Hero / Villian Reflection

Jordan's Hero / Villain
 The first Hero/Villain reflection I did was of Jordan’s. Her hero and villain were both brilliantly made. Her hero is a night light and the villain is what looks like a combination of a clown or jester, with a ghost like body with leaves on it.  The lighting really created a nice contrast to show you which character symbolized the good guy and which one symbolized the bad guy. Her hero, the night light, is brightly lit to create a positive good mood. On the other hand the Villain is kind of in the shadows and lit very dark giving it an evil feeling.This hero villain combination worked really well for me. Every kid at some point in their life was afraid of the dark and I feel like this was a clever recreation of that stereotype. In Jordan’s animation she also did a really good job demonstrating tension and release. At the beginning the hero is sleeping and then begins to wake up and turn on as the villain starts to appear. The tension is really built as the clown slowly pops up over the side of the bed. The release point is when the night light scares the ghost clown and it begins to make a sad face. Over all Jordan’s hero and villain were really well drawn and had a cool concept driving them.

Cameron's Hero / Villain
 The next Hero/Villain I was to reflect on was Cameron's. He only had one of his characters posted so it was little harder to review it. I believe this was the hero and his name was Frat Star. Frat star outfit consists of very light green and yellow hues. I'm not sure if it is because of the scanner but Frat Star appears very bright and saturated. I also found this character funny because it does a good job of playing off the "frat boy" stereotypes. The name Frat Star is kind of a double-entendre. I believe this because the "Star" part of "Frat Star' is poking fun at the often cockiness and negative stereotypes of frat boys and at the same time saying he is a "star" in his own eyes.
