Transitions

What an interesting piece. I found the transitions to be quite smooth. It’s interesting because the content moves so fast and is to smooth but the actual shapes are all so ridged and square-like. When one shape moves out of the frame, one that is a similar shape or size takes its place. This creates the effect of seeing negative space and finding the significance in the shape that is already gone. It also creates almost an illusion like when there was a black square with while in the background and when it changed to a big white square much bigger than the first one, I could still see a faint black square on top of the new white one. The rapid transitions were smoothed over by the continuous shapes that followed one another and took the place of the last. While watching it I almost had a sense that they were controlled by a puppeteer because of the fluidity and relationship between the different shaped.
