With my animation I believe that the imagery has the most hierarchy. The visual effect give you the feelings that are felt when watching this. The music adds to the setting also, but is not as strong as the imagery. The text added to the animation helps to clarify what the imagery is trying to say. It puts the viewers mind in the right place to be prepared for the visuals that follow the facts.
I chose to do stop motion because I felt I could capture the moment with more detail in a photo than i would have in a video. Plus, due to time I was not able to get video footage and be able to edit it in time. I wish I would have had more time to learn a new program such as aftereffects, but it did not work out this way so I chose to do photos in flash which is something I am more familiar with.
With this project I learned how to take the elements such as timing and framing and make them into a animation that makes sense. I also feel with having my options open I learned how to limit myself to reality. Due to the time factor, and programs that are unknown I learned how to create something that is more realistic than a "big idea".

I loved it! It's my favorite thing that I've seen you make thus far. You touch upon a pet peeve of accessorizing animals- and imported orphans- with guchi (sp) sunglasses.
You type could get alot smaller because the facts themselves are very heavy in their own right. the first sentence needs a period. the bunny in the plastic bag says garbage. i think a box or some designer label bag would be more effective. the colorization of the blue stuffing is very effective.
I'd experiment more with the music, because I've seen several adds for animal rights/rescue that use very similar sounds. Maybe nick drake or down tempo lounge music to accompany the celebrity culture.
Font choices.. I'd pick something with more character and less weight. Universe, frutiger, both are light modern, dynamic, and i think it would tie into the disposable culture very well. the music choice that you're using definetly says, serif face though.
when you mention the cerebral cotex, there's a word choice that makes it seeem like there's some leway. In stead of saying that an animal "can feel," I think it would be more difenitive to say that they "feel" pain....beautiful work.
