History of the Internet

"History of the Internet is an animated documentary explaining the inventions from time-sharing to file-sharing, from arpanet to internet. The clip shows a brief overview of this history and shall animate to go on discovering the history of the internet. The history is told with the help of the Picol icons, which are also part of my diploma" (www.lonja.de/motion/mo_history_interent.html)

I came across the 'History of the Internet' animation after looking at vector animations for my YCN competition brief. This animation inspired me to create simple vectors drawings for my Science Museum animation that I created. 

The idea of using simple vector images allows the user to understand the animation clearer as they are not overwhelmed by too much information. I think that if a more detailed animation was used to illustrate the voice over then the audience would maybe become confused.

The target audience was the main reason for creating a simple animation because it was aimed at children under the aged of 14, whilst I think this animation could be aimed at all age ranges with the clear voice over and simple animation making it easy to understand.
