The animation I choose “Brief History of Chess” by TED-Ed, would be categorized as a recreation of reported events. I chose this category because the video goes over the history of how and where chess originated and briefly as to how it has evolved over time into the chess we know today. The animation takes us through a history lesson with fun visuals and entertaining story telling. The animators Remus and Kiki are a animation directing duo who are from london. They have been working together since 2014 and have been working together ever since. They have also worked with many companies including TED-Ed, Adultswim, Warner Bros, ect. I believe that the animation did an amazing job with portraying and the storytelling of how chess came to be. I think they covered what needed to be covered with in the short amount of time they had. They choose great visuals that corresponded with the narration to help the aduaunce be able to understand and keep up with whats going on and made it easy to follow when moving on to the next thing with flawless transitions. Over all I think they did a fantastic job with the engaging visuals and entertaining storytelling.
