Crazy for It

You really have to watch this at least twice if you want to evaluate it. Once if you want to pay attention to the technical aspects, and once to react to the imagery.

I really enjoyed the technical aspects. I'm old, so if I see a drawing-style animation of a guy looking in mirror in something like a music video, I'm going to think of A-ha's Take On Me. But that's very much not what this is. There are a lot of transitions between styles, a lot of different kinds of imagery. Nothing stays so long as to become "stale" but nothing goes so ... fast as to not have an impact. I like how it was executed.

Imagery and feeling-wise, I also enjoyed this a lot. It starts and ends with a guy brushing his teeth in the mirror, kind of a mundane but still meditative task. But the middle is a combination of chaos and striving, a figure running. It felt more like striving towards something than running away from something. And in a way you can kind of feel both the external calm of the guy brushing his teeth, while inside there's something driving him. Maybe he's psyching himself up for something. It could be work or school, it could be facing life in general, it's different for everyone. But that calm exterior masking that inner drive, it's a very relatable feeling.

The music went really well with this. Any more "inspirational" and it probably would have been too cliche. So good choice there.

It's easy to tell that a lot of work went into this, but I think more than that, a lot of emotion went into it as well. I hope more people find it, because I think something about it can resonate with people.

Opinion & Informal

Art: 6/10 It was quite alright for a "super-short." There was a definite style going on here and it was able to stick to it most of the time.

Animation: 7/10 It was noticeably good for a super-short and the transitions and overall fluidity of the animation was acceptable.

Plot: 5/10 No plot. It was more of a mesmerizing piece? It had this air of meaningfulness that isn't really noticeable in other super-shorts.
...
Development: 5/10 No development.

Music: 7/10 Actually had good music for once for a super-short.

Overall: 5/10 It was actually an entertaining super-short. I enjoyed this more than other super-shorts.

Story
Interesting name choice "crazy for it". Am I crazy (enthusiastic) for it(this anime), nope. How come? With no vocals we have no words. With no words we have no guidance or being to explain things to us. Not that different than going to study hall. Yeah, we can learn but without a teacher who is say we are learning the right thing? Despite confusing to what message is being told if any there is proper follow through by referring back to the introduction.

Art
-mix between color and black and white
- looking closely at the ... art one can see smudges of paint. Which marks hand drawn work rather than computer. Props to taking the lengthy/old fashion approach.
- a lot of focus on a running character. Is it always the same one? What is causing the running?

Sound
-I am not musical wise. I believe the proper term is strumming when a note is being changed in tone. There is that and drum solos not much else. I find a good song to have proper tempo. Maybe a catchy tune. Or even some vocals. Shame none of those three were there.
-the music for whatever reason jumps between left and right sides. Why?

Enjoyment
Art had promise. I am sure a message was there but just acoustics with no vocals or subtitles is not going to get the job done. Not one of this artist's better works.
