I learned that Disney is trying to be culturally diverse.

I learned that the ethnicity of characters could spark controversy.

I think disney does well to mix cultures.

I think disney could use this as a lesson to learn from.

Why does the culture matter so much to people for me it would be the story that matters most.

I learned that as a director you dont do much.

You talk to all the people working with your movie.

Dont tell the direct specifications just tell the mood or the feeling you want on the audiance as a director you are the story teller you could control the mood of the audiance.

This article had good advice you dont want to be over controlling.

As a director I think you should be involved from start to finish.

Is'nt being a director mean you have to control the set and what goes on?

This week I learned how to use audacity and garage band. I learned how to put the audio into flash.

What made me happy this week is that I got my audio into my project and working.

What made me fusterated is that I still have to work on it monday.

What I want to learn is how are games made.

This won first prize in a international film festival in 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugxMR7oItf4&feature=player_detailpage

I learned that employers and collages were asking for social net work log ins.
also that a law was passed to make it illegal as well as Maryland  was the first to place a law like this.

I think most states should have a law like this.
I found this article interesting I had no idea collages and employers were asking for this information and is invasive to their privacy.

Why didn't all states immediately have or pass a law to stop this?

I learned cameras can have color gel lenses. I also learned that cameras dont have to use shutters and learned about tim tadder.

I think this article was interesting I should try to get a water wig.
I think it was neat how he used the lights and cameras for the effect.


How many tries did he have to do to get the perfect shots.

This week I learned about villa maria it seems like a interesting collage to go to for animation.
I may try to go there.

This week what made me happy is that I have all my work in on time.

What frustrated me this week was my chemistry homework it was hard to understand but I eventually got it.

This tutorial is helpful for starting to draw angel wings http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=pTfy2-qPveo 

What I want to learn is how do designers make video games today

I learned to keep ideas that you passed wouldn't work they may come back up and be useful.
I also leaned that if it looks like its going to be a unsuccessful movie keep at it and you could get something great.
The third thing I learned is that try and fail works to help you learn and improve yourself.

I think the article was very informative. I also think that some of the articles tips were obvious and you should do them anyway to help your self.

Are all these tips necessary to make a good movie?

1. I learned that frankinweenie was a live action short before it became a animation. I also learned that Tim Burton put alot of childhood memories into the movie I also learned they picked more amaturish animatiors for a certain effect like he explained with corpse bride it was too smooth and people thought it was computer generated

       

• I have to disagree with the article that black and white is good for the movie most people are so used to color thats probably what they want to see it in though I have to agree that stopmotion and models is great that you feel more interative with making the set and characters 

• Why is the lighting always a challenge with most movies and in 3D

I learned that LAIKA studios made the art for Coraline I also learned that it was made with stop motion as well as them using the same stop motion with paranorman and used 3D with them as well not to make pop out moments but to create a depth of Field I think that its cool to mix two different animation types like that and get a nice result to go along with it I agree with the artical that it would be cool to walk around a stop motion set and see what its like if you get the chance How long on average would it take to do one scene in stop motion?

blog3 post 2 star nerds

I learned that this Friday was the 25th anniversary of star trek I also learned that they planned to make it into a TV series as well as accidentally making a model of pop culture today without anyone noticing I think its neat that movies get made into TV series it would be cool if avatar by james cameron was turned into a TV show I dont belive that star trek did too much for pop culture. When was star trek first released and how does it compare to todays movies and shows?

This week I learned from the Flash tutorial how to use the bone tool and mask which I find them both hard to use but fun In the future I definatly want to get to 3D animation I belive I would be better on that then flash What made me happy was that I started to get the principles of animation done , but what fustrated me about it was I have no idea what to do for follow through and overlapping animation

I found this video funny but also has a great song and nice animation clips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Z9PKIOEwI&feature=player_detailpage
