I drank it like water and I discovered by simply not doing so, I would loose weight and walking helps as well.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So this Summer, I don't want to squeeze myself into an airplane seat and be out of breath from walking up a few steps.

With your animation studio of the most talented artists in the world, these supporting characters look like an AI program spit them out.

Is this a brilliant Marketing ploy?

Oh, what a relief that would be. But I have a funny feeling this is as good as it gets.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The original Little Mermaid was so great when it came out, because Disney animation was coming back, we loved the story and the characters all worked well together. I am not going to go see this new Little Mermaid, because like Disney's Aladdin, I already saw the good original and I don't need to see a Live Action version.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Would you like to see these characters walking along at Disneyland or Disney World? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">And this brings me to a new 2D Mermaid film which you might not see until 2 years from now.

It actually looks like it might even obtain more than 1000 subscribers before 2022 ends. Here are a few things I have been posting lately that you may have missed...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">An animation student of mine at CSUF recently completed her student film and we talked about the process.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ytof-5aHKWs" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">You can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUK2q2_6gWI&t=108s" target="_blank">see "Fester" by clicking this link...</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">That is one of the benefits of teaching, to see a student's work when it first started, how it evolves and is finally finished. Not every student can get to the completion stage, because its a lot of work and commitment.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Here are a collection of Animation Production projects where students had to come up with in my Animation Pre-Production class. Each student came up with an idea for a short animated film with a story, character(s), storyboard and animatic. The next semester, they had 16 weeks to make their animatic into a finished film.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2n1iV9SvxGI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">16 weeks to make a 1 or 2 minute animated film can be done, but only if you have a figured out a solid work schedule and enough time to do it. </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Many students have take a lot more studio classes with other class projects which take more time and energy to do.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: left;">During Covid, students were under stress even more with the new way of life or stay at home, avoiding social situations and then having to use their own equipment to make their film. Most could not return to Campus, away from the Wacom Cintiqs and other software.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: left;">After taking the Animation Production class, sometimes that rough animatic turns into a colorful animatic instead of a completed film. I have been trying to figure out a solution to avoid this situation. I think if the student can manage to get the beginning or perhaps some sequence of their film into a final state of production, it would show an audience what the final product will look like when it is completed. Having this final production is a rough film, might even help the student continue to finish what they started after the class is over.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: left;">The worse case is when I see a student who has really great idea, but only wants to do enough work to get an "A". </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b>Grades are only a temporary carrot dangling for a limited time in front of a near sighted horse. </b></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b><br /></b></i></div></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: left;">Making a film is not about getting a good grade! Its about coming up with something you want to see, work on and learn from the experience. And when its done, people can see it and appreciate. Enter it into film festivals, on YouTube, put it on your website. People who see it might hire you or introduce you to others and hopefully you will continue the process. It might take years, but you made something that nobody else did, something you cared about to create. And when you hear an audience reacting to your film or if someone has seen your work, that's very satisfying. </div></span></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LUgTFr5SkDU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></span></div>Animateducatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04890961153938676775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865826126449923096.post-82289945965816726042022-07-11T18:38:00.005-07:002023-11-01T19:59:11.105-07:00Disney Multiplane Camera<p><span style="font-family: arial;">Disney's Multiplane camera was invented by UB Iwerks, the same man responsible for design and animating the first Mickey Mouse cartoons.

I've heard someone wanting pickles and ice cream, but again I believe it was a very clever advertising campaign by some company that either sold pickles, ice cream or both.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Here are a few commercials selling Vlasic pickles and that idea. These were animated in very limited animation style, before Vlasic created their Stork character who sounded a lot like Groucho Marx.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hl_SufLH6aU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Well there you have it...

I am still teaching animation online several times a week, but only in 1 hour segments. I always try to do all the things I haven't managed to do during the Fall and Spring semesters during the Summer and currently making a list of possibilities.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The Animateducated YouTube channel is going pretty good with 827 subscribers at last count and only 173 subscribers to go until we reach 1,000 subscribers. I'm working on more interviews and trying out live streaming event where I will demo something I have learned which animation viewers might be interested in.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Recently, I have been watching the Prehistoric Planet with David Attenborough and amazed how good the CG dinosaurs are blended into the live action backgrounds. It really feeling like you are watching a natural documentary with real dinosaurs as the characters. If you haven't seen it yet, here's a preview from Apple TV.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vnoNeMlNeD0" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I recently discovered that someone filed a complaint on two of my videos posted on Animateducated. YouTube removed both videos and gave me my first copyright strike where I had to attend copyright school before I could open my channel to see what to do next.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I contacted the person who filed the complaint and informed them since the video was not flagged 2 months ago, I thought everything was a ok. I did a re-editing for my interview with Lee Crowe, taking out the 10 second copyrighted animation clip and reposting the video back to my channel.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_ZJ3OhswQ88" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Students need to make sure they understand what copyright is and how not to break the copyright laws. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>Animateducatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04890961153938676775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865826126449923096.post-61319603087887563852022-05-16T19:33:00.003-07:002022-05-16T19:33:47.254-07:00An Animation Hour<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">You are invited to an Animation Hour (or less) with me(Jim) in a Zoom meeting situation to try out this new live streaming Animateducated event.

You may have been the bored kid in math class who would scribbled drawings in the corner of the thick math book. Or you might have made some animated epic using a small note pad of paper or index cards clipped together. Either way, you remember the fun in making your drawings move around by simply flipping through the pages rapidly to see the drawings suddenly come to life.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Meet Raul Garcia, as a young boy going up in Spain, Raul did all of the above and recently created a very unique 6 in one animated flip book made by Flipboku.
