Ed animation -- OUAN404

Nice animation telling the story of a life-model who imagines a character for each pose he strikes. I like the mix of sharp clean lines and more rough pencil-like textures when the animation transitions from real life to Ed's imagination. The animation has a good pacing and flow, staying on each character of Ed's for just long enough, but without dragging them out. I like the contrast made between the shy and quiet looking Ed, dressed in his big coat and hat pulled down over his face, and the flamboyant Ed on stage. One tiny moment makes it for me, the bit between 1:30 and 1:32 as the music begins and the artists' raise their pencils all at once, in anticipation. Somehow that small movement seems to suggest they know they are going to see something exciting.
