Just watched Jack Stauber's OPAL. One of the songs is called "Mirror Man", and after listening to it a few times it started to remind me of Sirius Black.

Sirius Black without the Marauders.

Sirius if he only had Grimmauld Place to go to. Sirius, who is just another one of those beautiful but nasty Blacks. And he knows he is one gorgeous motherfucker. So that's what he concentrates his perception for others on. Because there's no one to ground him.

Ellard DeVane's Sliced Claymotions

Visual artist, musical composer-performer, and cartoon animator Ellard DeVane creates mesmerizing stop-motions by slicing bread-like clays. He builds the stage in continuous movement through the camera as he slices it. That way he can give a vibe of an ever-changing environment and psychedelic transitions. There is not much about him on the net but he was recently commissioned by Apple, Vice, and Mailchimp. His website only shares his social accounts but honestly, his work is enough to present him.

John Carpenter's reaction to Godzilla Minus One winning Best VFX at the Oscars is so heartwarming to me.

He would've been eight years old when he saw the original American release of the first film. In his preteens, he was making short claymotion movies with his favorite movie monsters, including Godzilla. He's been a fan of this series since the inception, and it just won its first Oscar. He must've been feeling like a kid again.

What fans say:

A Silent Voice:

I cry every time I watch it. It's beautifully animated and emotional and ahhh I love it.

I love the art style. I think it's a beautiful example of Japanese animation that is decently well known yet seems to always be somewhat forgotten? It follows a deaf protagonist and if I recall correctly they actually worked with people to make sure her signing was correct - or as best as it could be in animated form. It handles depression in a way that really hit home for me and I relate to so strongly and it's about trauma and healing and growing and forgiveness. It's beautiful I love it so much. Huuge cw for suicide attempt and bullying, depression, but its a beautiful film.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit:

The stop motion animation is gorgeous, the characters and setting are charming and the jokes are funny.

It’s Wallace and Gromit, man. It’s creative, it’s funny, it's claymotion, it’s just a grand day out if you get what I mean.

Movement Project: Week 2 - AMD Task 2 (23/01/23)

Researching Animation History and Processes

The Three types of animation that I investigated were

Puppet Stop Motion Animation

Traditional Handdrawn animations (2D)

CGI animations (3D/Digital)

First I divided animation into 3 types - stop motion, 2D and 3D. Then I looked deeper into the history, process and develoupment of one type of each strand of animation.

For Pupperlt stop motion I looked at the first Puppet stop motion film made in 1898 ' The Humpty Dumpty Circus ' directed by J.Stuart Blackton and Albert E. Smith produced by the Vitgraphs Company of Animation. Since then puppet animation has grown and the tradition has continued even to today with Guillero del Toros Pinocchio (2022). However another type of puppet animation arose in the late 1980's called claymation with the emergence of Aardman Animation Studios and Nick Park the creator of Wallace and Gromit. To see more of my research on claymotion see my post below :

https://at.tumblr.com/k00265221/secondary-research-clay-mation-animation/w71i6kyhw3ps

I feel as though clay motion is my favourite type of animation therefore I will be doing my 4-10 second animation in that medium. I will be taking inspiration from Aardmans Morp lh series as he is what inspired my character Mr Mush . I love how clay motion allows the animator to create a figure which they get to make an original world with (set) . I love how the animator can physically hold the character. For me personally the fact that Mr Mush is a physical character makes me more emotionally attached to him. He is my plasticine child. Anorher reason why i love claymation is that the medium of stop motion is more hands on than digital.

The second type of animation I looked at was the traditional hand drawn animations typically used by Disney until the 1990s. One of the most famous clips of cel animations is Steamboat Willie produced by Disney in 1928. I love this type of animation for the same reason why I love stop motion animation - it proves that we can make animations without a heavy reliance on technology.

Don't get me wrong, tech advances have definitely improved animations, but sometimes it can take away the Human aspect of the process of animating and it can sometimes be too much when applied incorrectly.

One of the greatest digital art advances is Computer Generated Images (CGI). Digital animations began to feature in small amounts in feature films from the mid to late 20th century onwards. By the 1990s pixar had developed CGI to the degree that they could make the first 3D feature length film entirely generated by a computer - Toy Story 1995.

The channel 'Insider' on YouTube has some fantastic videos on the develoupment of CGI through Pixar . Here's one to watch:

https://youtu.be/qTPKGVrFtQU

I have to say I am not the biggest fan of CGI. Personally it's just very daunting for me at this stage but I am sure that with training time and practice I could understand it and with that Grow to love it.

too many people have compared me to ben wyatt and abed nadir im gonna start cosplaying dr. morbius and have a claymotion bit that promotes my mental wellbeing

[mutalieju]

Just saw the Chip&Dale Rescue rangers movie, was hoping it would be entertaining bad but I ended up unironically enjoying it tbh?

It was definitely better than I expected, there were plenty of gags I laughed at, some were kinda cynical maybe but there was plenty of stuff that was fun, like different kinds of animated characters and puppets coexisting, there was a fun human vs claymotion character fight etc

light spoilers, I think the main character conflict was the weakest thing about the movie, it was something we’ve seen so many times, and it was focused on Chip & Dale instead of the team as a whole. Gadget is barely in it for example, and they even lampshade how her character in the movie was non existent.
