TED Talk 1-Billy Collins 5 Poem Animations

The poem animations by Billy Collins were not what I expected. I expected them to be like anime style and programmed with actions like CGI I still think it’s cool. With the narrator’s words and the pictures combined together, the imagery from the poems have been doubled or even tripled. The poem created a vivid image in my mind and it seemed very real. The animations seem very entertaining and changed the idea that poetry is very boring. His style seems very unique. For some reason, I liked all of his poem animations. They helped me visualize and understand the author’s point of view. His poem about the dead made me wonder if it was and it was the same with the mice about the country poem. The Budapest poem allowed me to see what the troubles were with writing and how the pen seemed to “dance” from the author’s hands. However, my favorite was ForgetFullNess because I could easily relate to it.
