    Michel has inspired me with his work more than he'll ever know.

    This video brings to life the process of creation. You get to see inside of Michel's head and sort of see what goes through his mind when he is creating. The video goes through the creative process and follows Michel as he details the different ways he can express things. He gives praise to Noam and uses his art to bring light to this man's ideas and thoughts. So in the end, Michel is using his special talent to expose and show another man's special talent. This video showed high talent and showed that creativity isn't just cut and dry ideas; it's whatever you want it to be.

    this is a fancy story. Michel Gondry created a new style of animation. He took a film with everything that he think is useful for his film. he is not doing animation. He is telling us the story about himself. like his wife past away. He also gave us the clear vision about how he think it is. everyone has their own definition about this process. this is an excellent story.

    Michel Gondry describes his life through animation . I can through this video he takes his animations very serious. He also makes sure everything is perfect. I feel like he sends a message through his animations that he cant really put into words. He also mentions problems that he has in doing this career, for example when he misspells a word or makes a mistake when drawing his animations. This just shows how much time things take when you really enjoy them. Overall I enjoyed watching this video he is very creative.

    Through Michel Gondry's video on the animating process of "Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy", we see the intricate detail, passion, pursuit, and emotion behind the making of such a talent. The video begins by taking one through the day to day life of Gondry when creating the main character, Noam Chomsky. Gondry stated that he had a connection with Gondry for five years and he uses drawing as a way to communicate a story because he believes that "drawing makes people smile". He continues to describe how his theme is his illustration of Noam's point of view on science. Ignorance was a fear behind the film, but towards the end we see it all come together as he sits with Chomsky. This short film showed how passion and patience can illustrate an amazing creation and those who watch can learn and interpret a lot about how and why a short film is created.

    In this video Michael Gondry is conveying the process he goes through when drawing his animations, which are based on Noam Chomsky's ideas and views of the world. At first he started explaining the process he went through when making his drawings, by taking a picture every time drew a line or swirl. He made and related his drawing to Chromsky's life, by drawing him into the illustrations. At the end it shows Gondry and Chomsky at an interview talking about the illustrations and explaining how they relate to his life. I liked watching this video because it gave me a great perspective on drawing and how it relates to life and science.

    In this video with Michel Gondry throughout the video it seemed very interesting and unique with the animations. You can tell by watching this video what he does all day is a lot of work, I think it would personally be difficult to do myself. I did enjoy watching this video and seeing his great talent.

    In this video, Michael Gondry is showing his creative process for animating his art. He takes a very scientific method to animation that is time consuming, but it adds to the quality. He wants to show people as human, rather than as an icon. He wanted to animate Chomsky in a way that gives him a cartoonish feel, but also conveys some very human emotions and thoughts. It required a lot of patience and belief in his own work and abilities, but it turned out well for Gondry.

    In this video Michel Gondry is illustrating through animation the life and views of Noam Chomsky and asks the question "Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?" . In the beginning of this video he starts explaining how he got into drawing and why he enjoys it and then he begins talking about Noam Chomsky. Through the video he explains what Noam Chomsky's views are about science and how he wants to illustrate them like old school cartoons he use to watch as a kid. Further in the video he explains he has a meeting with Noam Chomsky and how he doesn't want to seem ignorant and that he just wants to convey Chomsky's life and views. By the end of the video it shows Michel sitting with Chomsky talking about his drawings and then by the end repeats the question of "Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?" I really enjoyed watching the video, I personally like to draw and I like that he is trying to convey science and this mans life through his drawing/animation.

    This video introduces us to Michel Gondry, who shows us his creative process plays out. He's working on a project where he is animating Noam Chomsky. He is afraid that he will be ridiculed at first, but still does his best to express himself as best he can. I really enjoyed his creative style, especially how he showed the man who lays in his empty bed after his wife dies. Overall, he seems to be a humble individual who realizes his flaws and plans accordingly.

    This video is about portraying life through the perspective of Noam Chomsky. He explains through drawings his thought process. He uses many details when drawing his animations to get his point across. He was nervous about publishing at first but then realized his animations meant something to other people's lives. I really enjoyed watching this video about the life of Noam Chomsky and seeing how every little detail makes a difference in the appearance.

    Micel Gondry is trying to Illustrate the point of view of science. He shows others point of view with his drawing but not making it to complicated. he tells stories with his drawing and cartoons. he tell what is important and what he thinks people should know. putting life in to his stories with his cartoons-

    Michel Gondry’s video about animating Noam Chomsky discusses how attention to detail and creative expression, as well as trial and error, leads to a successful experience and project. He used animation in his film to illustrate Chomsky’s perspectives of the world because each are detailed. However, Gondry was nervous that he would look ignorant when he released his film. However, he ended up enjoying making the film and felt as if it was a successful experience and a great way to pursue his passion. This video conveyed useful information about the creative process through showing how minor details and patience lead to a worthwhile result.

    Michel Gondry is illustrating his passion for animated creativity by showing the audience the process in which he created "Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?". He explains to the audience how he came up with his subject, his thought process, and how he wanted to do his subject justice, illustrating the piece using only sharpies and a stop motion camera while not oversimplifying the animation- it still needs to be attractive to his audience. He ended with an energetic, lively piece that effectively illustrates his conversations with Noam Chomsky.

    I admit, maybe I'm being too harsh on Mr. Gondry, but something about him I don't like.
    It was still interesting to watch the process....
