Disney versus Reality When one says the name Pocahontas, the most likely image that comes to mind is of that one Disney created nearly twenty years ago. Tall, super model body with long ebony hair worthy of a L’Oreal commercial, in a short cocktail dress with a typical Native American theme to it. She is eighteen and just met John Smith; a twenty one year old Englishman with golden hair and a body of a Greek god. At least, that is what Disney’s version of Pocahontas had happen, and if he were around

The 1920’s and 30’s were an age of creativity and innovation. New improvements were especially common in the art of film-making. Animation in film was introduced. Walt Disney, through his innovations in color, realistic designs, and use of sound, revolutionized the motion picture animation industry. Walter Disney was born December 5, 1901, in Chicago, Illinois, to Elias and Flora Disney. He had four older brothers, Herbert, Raymond and Roy, and a younger sister, Ruth. The Disney family moved to

Average people that have little to no idea how animation is done still (hopefully) understand that it takes creativity, unique ideas, and most of all passion to do your job successfully. So it is my guess that one would be very surprised to find out that even in the animation industry, men are more desired for jobs than women. How can animation be dominated by a single gender? Men and women have great ideas, both can tell wonderful stories, and both can pull from their personal experiences and incorporate

characters, we get the sense of who we want to be in life, and how we want to make a change. History of animation dates back to 1906, when the first animated cartoon was created. The title was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces, and it was a sensation at that time. And then, the first “Mickey Mouse” cartoon appeared in 1928, and with it came the Walt Disney Company. After years of history of animation, people are now able to look back in history, and pay attention to the small details, such as gender role

Traditionally, animated films have been made for and consumed by children, with the plotlines and themes being relatively basic and forthright. However, recent years have seen the release of animated films that explore significantly more adult themes and thought provoking ideas. Perhaps the most confronting example of adult themes in an animated film is in 2016’s ‘Zootopia’. The film forces viewers to think about concepts such as racial segregation, nature vs. nurture and the debilitating effect

Waltz with Bashir uses the medium of fluid animation to present layers of history and effectively communicate concepts surrounding how we deal with trauma. Often referencing traumatic events that which current society did not encounter directly themselves, Waltz with Bashir triumphs in the struggle against ethical and visual implications of animated form, evoking a strong emotional response in its visual style. A vector based, frame by frame animation technique was used to present a re-enactment

world everyday. Multimedia Artists and Animators (MMA) have a big impact on this because they create the illusion of a realistic image in every digital and sometimes non-digital media project they publish. MMAs design 2 and 3 dimensional models, animation and visual effects. These appear in TV, movies and often in video games. They have to be realistic and detailed. A MMA often keeps working in one medium and stays there for most of his career (Summary.). I choose this career to write about because

Me!Me!Me! is a music video and animated short that was created for the Japan Animator Expo in 2014, but was released in the US in 2015 through Vimeo with English subtitles. The song in the video was made by the electronic music artist Teddyloid feat. Daoko, a Japanese singer. The audience of this video would be all fans of anime and electronic music, i.e. presumably young people who proactively use electronic devices. The video is set in three main sequences, each revolving around the main character

Art is different for each individual. There are those who believe that art only includes high class paintings made by people from high social order like Michelangelo or Francisco Goya. There are also those who believe anything can be considered art, not just paintings but songs, movies, and even video games. But while everybody has different opinions what art can be, everyone understands that art has some meaning behind it. On this passage below, I will be demonstrating the meaning behind “Fate Apocrypha”

Technicolor in Animated and Live-Action Film: Bambi (1942) and Becky Sharp (1935) Colour, especially by today’s audiences, is considered to be a staple in a film’s mise-en-scene. It is generally thought to be an attraction today if a film does not have colour, and it influences many different readings of films. However, it was not always considered to be such an essential part of cinema. In the early days of Technicolor, specifically in the mid-30s to early 40s, colour added to the aesthetic of
