          This critique is of Dr. Owen and Mr. Rib.  For these two pictures, I think that it would be most appropriate to talk about lighting.  The first and most noticeable thing about the two images is that Mr. Rib has a shaded background while Dr. Owen has a white back ground.  Even if the characters were not in the pictures, it would be clear which background belonged to who. This sets the mood right form the beginning. I really like how Mr. Rip has a shadow down the left side of his body.  I think that it really adds a lot to the character's shadiness.   As far as symbolism goes, not much needs to be said.  Mr. Rib is a cigarette maybe even one of them marijuana cigarettes.  And Dr. Owen is a swell looking fellow in a suit.  In the video,  Mr. Rib knocks out Dr. Owen and then the audience reads don't do drugs. So there you go for that one.

    
      Next up is the flying turtle vs. Peggy.  I'm going to use the animation for this one and talk about movement.  Unfortunately Peggy's  animation and picture are not up so it will be mostly about the flying turtle.  The thing that is emphasized most is weight.  The turtle is flying (imagine that) at an upwards angle, with the building there on the right, it helps to establish relativity.  After the flying turtle grabs the first civilian, they are dropped and another display of weight is shown.  Overlapping movement is shown when the turtle flies into the building.  I remember enough about peggy to remember that there was much contrast between the two.  Peggy was very raggedy and the turtle is colorful and pretty clean around the edges.    In the animation, the flying turtle has word bubbles and through his dialog, he didactically tells the audience that he is not the greatest hero, like when he drops the first person and says at least i saved one.

      This could not have worked out more perfect.  The character names are not posted but it is the rainbow guy, and the guy who is trying to get rid of all color.  so I am going to talk about color for this one, the one i have not mentioned yet.
