The Animation : The 3d Animation

As the pilot continues, there are some good plotlines, but there’s simply not enough anticipation, suspense, tension, and/or romance. The pilot relies a bit too much on dialogue.

The characters are well developed and likeable. The princess was oblivious and slightly annoying at times, but as the story progressed I got to see her strength come through in a realistic way. Marek is definitely a lovable underdog and I enjoyed rooting for him, Selena, and their friends.

Stop-motion animation requires the shooting of physically manipulated still objects to appear as moving objects.

Even though the episodes’ had drama, it was hard to understand everything that happens. The television show is extremely hard to keep track because of the flashback. The episodes do not start at the beginning, but in medias res. While watching the T.V. show, you don't have a transcript to read along with the scenes and remembering what happened from the beginning is difficult. This show is very entertaining and became addictive because the events; I have enjoyment watching people

I used to walk with my head down in the hallways, with my head always in a book, hardly speaking. Afraid to make a mistake, afraid that I may not be what others expect of me. In time I came to realize that these animated characters are more like me than I imagined. Our bright, happy exterior serves as a mask to hide the inner demons that lurk inside. Unwilling to burden others, taking out all my frustrations on myself, and fearing what the future may hold. I had fantastic ambitions yet I was unable to pursue them to the ends of the Earth, to hold on to them and never let go. I lost who I wanted to be and in return I lost who I was. All because I was too afraid to take a risk.

Using the stylings of a Pixar 3D animation, and the portrayal of the characters as forest animals, I hope to capture an audience, bringing them into the introspective mind of Hamlet. Comparing the Branagh and Olivier versions of III.ii. I have found that it takes many exposures to be able to enter into the mind of Hamlet, and through my version I intend to make the process quicker, allowing the audience to come to understand Hamlet without analyzing his words so intensely. Furthermore, being able to easily interpret the themes I believe most prominent, life, inner turmoil, and fear of the unknown.

William Kentridge is an artist that uses his animations to makes films. These films are made without a script or storyboard; the drawings themselves are the ones that tell the story. The creative process of the films is the artist starts out with a picture or scene, and goes back and forth between the drawing and camera changing small components that adds texture, lines, and movement of the drawing. This helps create a sense of animation throughout the illustration. This artist uses charcoal as his only utensil because, “of its speed of transformation.” Charcoal is easy to erase; he can constantly change the illustration as he thinks.

The story is not very clear for the first couple episodes. A lot happens in the first few episodes with no apparent linear progressive story. The story ties itself back around in a way that is not expected. The biggest thing that kept me watching through the entire series was the fact that there was not a dry moment at all. From the time that the episode starts, to the time that the title appears on the credits screen, continuous jaw-dropping moments occur. A big issue that I had with the way the television series

Animation has been around since the beginning of times. Animation is not just something of the cinema, which animation dominates today. Animation is creating and capturing an illusion of what looks like an object moving when shown in order. So how long has animation really been around? It has been around since the beginning of mankind and continues to thrive in today’s era of animation, The Millennium Age of Animation.

“It was really funny, but also made you think. The actors did a great job of digging into their characters and not only making us laugh, but showing us something deeper,” Caballero said. “It felt very intimate, like the characters were speaking to me and with me instead of at me. That can be kind of daunting for some shows, but I

The art design was an issue for me. The film opens with a TV anime style opening, with a bland J-pop song and visuals straight out of any generic

Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by rapidly displaying a sequence of static images that have minor differences. Animators are artists that specialize in creating animation. Stop motion is an animation technique that results in an object appearing to move on its own, by physically manipulating that object. It is moved in tiny increments between frames photographed individually. This creates the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. With this form, each animated piece is made of a malleable substance. Everything from the characters to sometimes the background is deformable, and usually made of Plasticine

The first 2D animation was created in by Emile Cohl in 1908 called “Fantasmagorie”. The animated film was 70 seconds made with 700 images and 24 frames per second for making the ending according to Kieran Kane’s presentation “The History of Animation”. In 1928, Walt Disney used 2D animation to create the first Mickey Mouse cartoon “ Steamboat Willie”. The cartoon was also the first animated film to have a soundtrack in the background according to “ The History of Animation”. After this event, many companies like Walt Disney, Warner Bros, and Hanna-Barbera started creating cartoons and commercials with paper 2D animation in 1930s to 1970s; these were known as the “year of animation”. Now, most animations have the problem of consuming time on creating, making it appropriate to the viewer's eye, creating realistic expressions on the

Stop motion is a technique which makes an inanimate object e.g a toy or clay model and makes it seem to move on its own. This can be done by taking many photos and making minuscule movements between each photo (each frame).When the photos are played together the illusion of movement is apparent.

Norman McLaren said, “Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.” To be a digital animator, independence and social skills are needed. Strong design skills and computer savvy will be key. (Clark 185) To be successful or to even get a job the animator needs a proper foundation. Having social skills, years of experience, and even a degree (not often) are needed to do so. The long hours can be fun or enjoyable in the beginning seeing as the animator is doing what they love but eventually, they will be exhausted and with deadlines they can screw their self over without being prepared. Being educated in the field is highly suggested, to understanding of color, form, shape, dynamics, and so on is needed. However, the only way the animator can truly learn is through experience, actual practice. Some people look to be apprentices to other animator and learn through being in that type of environment. Being a digital animator has it’s pros, cons, is full of history, and has a simple method of getting into.
