The task of this assessment is to comment the emotions that this animation is promoting, and also, if the use of the arcs influence the ones that I felt.
This animated short evokes various emotions. First of all, the male character waking up and touching his head gives a feeling of desperation. So do the next dancing moves when he dances alone, and the actions give the impression that he moves very heavily, probably, expressing his depression. These continuous moments when he loses the female dancer, promote again feelings of despair and sadness. Additionally, the deformation of his arms and legs also enhance these negative emotions. However, as the two characters dance together, they evoke feelings of tenderness. In the end, the emotions of depression are depicted by the female character, who kneels and touches her head, in a similar way as the male one in the beginning.
The arcs are a crucial part of the creation of these emotions. They describe these slow, heavy movements of the male character in the beginning and of course, every time this character is depicted desperate. They also enhance the feeling of tenderness when they contact each other and dance together. In addition, the arcs reinforce the fluidity of the female character, whose texture is similar with smoke in the start or like water in some point and they help to give the impression that the character is made of these elements.
Personally, I felt thrill when watching most of the animation, especially when they danced together. I also felt sadness when watching the male character depressed or alone.
In my opinion, this is a very touching animated short, because it describes these kind of feelings, and also, the arcs and this slow action reinforce the emotional state of the characters. The music is also an important factor of this success, because the characters dance in the rhythm, and also the lyrics may relate with the concept of thinking and losing.
