This week was great for production I loved the whole work day and I was so happy I could finish Two protects in the time allowed and now i can focus my full attention on completing the next project. My only complaint is my lack of ideas and I'm worried I won't be able to find an image that are capable of being combined in a way that looks natural. I really hope finding a tutorial is easier than finding the image.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsW0FinSkdk I found this video when I was researching the hullabaloo animation site I feel it describes how all fights over woman end. It's also realy funny but remember I have the sense of humor of a two year old.

A through back with a veteran
James Lopez is one of the animator that worked on the lion king and Hercules who has a personal love of steam punk and hand drawn animation. He desisted to take theses two loves and combining them to make the new hand drawn animation called Hullabaloo. All thought it doses require about $80,000 in start up Lopez is hoping it becomes something more than just a short like a full laugh movie but to do that he needs a lot of money and he is looking into ways to do that (kick starter for one)
The next part of the article talked about the stile of hand drawn animation and the details about the project. First off the idea of steam punk is under utilized in almost all cinema the only thing in recent years is a Japaneses film and it was only a regional thing, never making it to the states. Next is the uses of a female protagonist, this isn't any thing new not since Frozen nut its good to know that the trend is continuing. Lastly the amount of money they are asking for is not much so I really hope the film is made and is free to watch otherwise I feel that its ripping of the people who donated.
Final question; Do you think Lopez is gonna make it into a movie?

weekly post 1
And it begins, the long stride towards the end of the year when the when i no longer have to write theses things. This week the only thing we did was demos and intro's witch felt like starting over from last year. We went from being able to animate a script to having to work on Photoshop learning to use the crop tool. I will say this once on the record I really do miss animation thought I looking forward to getting to film thing and using the camera, fingers crossed I don't break anything.
The first 6 tips lists of the year
The tips professionals and recruiters give are the best way to improve your work and increase your chances of getting hired. First off the typical make an impression, the company that is going to be viewing your video has lots more to do, so grab their attention within 30 seconds and you have a shot. Next you should only include your best work this can be the difference between your new office terminal and the unemployment line (the optimal amount of video is between two and three). The last thing to remember is to be your own person, don't just copy the trends and try to be the next version of some famous director or animator. Make the work you do stand out on its own and try to keep in mind who you are trying to work for (in other words don't send Disney a horror real). Over all these tips are nothing you won't here form any one else who has connections in the business, so in my highly regarded opinion TAKE THE ADVISE.
Final question; dose the 5 second rule only apply to food or can it be used in conversations as well?

The Order and Cinamatic
The order 1886 was delayed twice and now I finally now why. From what IGN tells me the game is not using pre-rendered cut scenes, instead the scenes are rendered in real time. Factor in all the problems that causes and the addition of cinematography it doesn't come as a surprise.
Through the replication of a "lens" the creators were able to gain the illusion of depth of field and focus. Through this system the people at ready at dawn are able to recreate some of the visual imperfections that are created by real films. Through the use of theses tool the studio hopes to better manipulate the players emotions to better complement the story, this way the players emergion increase with less effort and the same emotional experience ac be shared by multiple people. All and all Ready At Dawn uses the new tool to make the shots feel real and that is something everyone can appreciate, with these tool my be the industry can shy away from killing of characters to enhance the drama (looking at you call of duty). Its high time some one tried making the games look more realistic with out trying to up the resolution, Here's to something different and hoping it works out for them.
Final question; do you think we can play the game in class?
