'Color Reel' by Evan Seitz is a [short animated film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rankreel) that quickly makes one guess the titles of [famous movies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/movie-engine). All of the movies used in the animation have some type of color in them such as 'Snow White' and 'A Clockwork Orange.'

The short film moves briskly, making it hard to guess all the titles on the first time. Each clue is accompanied by a visual picture and some type of music or sound bite that is related to the movie. Transitions between the clips are extremely smooth and natural because Seitz constantly uses circles and zooms in and out of them to introduce the next movie.

This is Seitz's third [movie guessing game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colormix) animation and, with their popularity, he is bound to make more.
