1. Balance, the formal balance of the logo and its simplicity is one of the reasons why I chose this logo parody. While I was looking through the other logo's, I found them quite cluttered and all over the place. The downward direction of the oil is also quite interesting because it forms an oil drop further showing the message of the new logo. Also, the logo shows harmony because the BP sunflower is not overpowering its oil filled counterpart. They are both equally shown. 
1. The use of digital animation and human acting is not just one or the other; it is a mix of both. In order to create the characters in Avatar, actors and the digital augmentation were both needed. As James Cameron, the director of the film said “it is an actor-driven process". The digital animation just enhances the acting and lets acting reach the places it would never be able to reach before. The 10-feet blue monsters in Avatar would have never been so brilliantly pulled off or look as life-like without the help of both digital animation and human acting.
2. Yes, I believe that the actors who portray the animated characters should still be eligible to win acting awards because they are doing just that, acting. The digital animation that is added to the movie does not change the acting; it just enhances its appearance. If an actor plays their part badly, the digital augmentation cannot fix it, it will still be bad. The acting is a template for the digital animator. British stage actor Andy Serkis states "There's a purity to it. You can't rely on anything else but your own skill as an actor".
3. I think human actors will not be obsolete, because film is a work of art. People will never tire of using people in their films. Film making is not only for those big corporations who do it for money, but also for those who want to express themselves through video and film. Although i feel that the amount of movies in the future containing human actors might lessen. There is also the essence that humans bring to films that can't be duplicated by technology, the emotion of the actor. Humans may be harder to work with and need more to satisfy and get a better take, but technology can't replace everything. Film is more than just money and convenience and for that reason; i think that human actors will never become obsolete.
Light Graffiti: Out of all the light graffiti I have seen thus far, this is probably my favourite one. This picture uses light to show you sounds. You can't see sounds except for the rare disease that allows you to do so, but in any case it's still pretty cool. I think that the person who made this used the right tools using light to portray sound because it gives the 3D effect and suits how I picture sound. This picture uses the light lines to create texture, you are able to see the fine and smooth texture light has and I presume music has as well but because the lines are not straight and go up and down you can imagine the tempo or beat of the song and that it is moving. I think light graffiti shows more than just simple light art, the concept is great and has become one of my favourite light graffiti art.
Street Graffiti: This was the one picture that stood out the most for me. It has a 3D appeal even though, it was just painted on a basement parking lot wall. The colours the artist used flow really well, and its not too straining. There is a lot going on in the picture but enough that it doesn't look too scattered or too all over the place as some graffiti might look like. A lot of it is left up to interpretation but you still sense that there is a meaning to it, not just some random lines. It also has balance adding to the organized yet, still has the same style and effect of graffiti and overall this was a really good piece.
I think both styles of graffiti are similar in comparison to all the other art forms out there but they do have their differences. Light graffiti is great for creating unique art pieces without leaving anything behind. You can capture it and have it forever without using up any resources except for light. A lot can be done using light and paint and it is a great way to express and show who you are. Although it would not be street graffiti without the permanent essence of it. In conclusion I believe that these two art forms both have their similarities and differences but they both achieve the purpose of getting the artist's message out through art.
