Dying by Jean-Denis Haas

My classmate posted this on facebook and I would like to share this piece of awesome animation with you guys. This subtle animation short is done by Jean-Denis Haas. The emotion is really strong in this piece.

Just watched RIO

I managed to catch RIO today, gotta say it was pretty awesome. It looked sweet and the animation was crazy good. I think they nailed the atmosphere and the whole feel of the show. Music was spot on and characters were nicely developed. Nigel the Cockatoo was especially nice due to his flamboyant nature and attitude. Would have been nice to see him develop just a little bit more. I think probably the only thing not as wow-zers would have to be the general plot is quite expected and normal. Nothing extra ordinary or special happens in the story that you'd already expect.

Overall I think I enjoyed it more than MegaMind but probably still not as much as Tangled. Well....just my thoughts on it. Excellent show though, so for those thinking of catching it, you probably should.

"It's not about the what, but the who."

Haven't been posting for a while now. But learnt something pretty useful today and thought that it's good to share.

It's thinking about, "It's not the what, but the who." in either story development or character development in animation.

Basically to rip of Chuck Jones example in his book "Chuck Amuck". He basically talks about, you having a situation. For example, someone slipping over a banana peel, that is the what.

The stuff that gives it more bang for the buck is, the who. For a comedic effect, you could have a proud, know it all snob, sashaying down the sidewalk and he slips and fall. Take that and compare it to a feeble old man, walking down the sidewalk with a bag of groceries and he slips and fall. That could make you want to sympathize with the old man.

Sometimes "the who" could even give you an idea of "the what".

So remember to keep it mind "the who" before your next piece of work=)
