Paul
(2011)

I surprisingly enjoyed this movie, while it not a kind of movie that I would go out of my way to see, it was something that I was able to stand watching, I can't say I have a fave, character within this film, to me non of them stand out that much however non of them are obnoxious to the point that I actively hate them.


Story is about an alien escaping the government, teams up with two nerds and a christian woman, to get back to his spaceship.

animatic so far

Re-Reesearch-Proposal

Designing Ace:
While I already have a design for my character Ace I have not created a final design I am happy with, each drawing of him is different so I want to create and Finnish a design for him.
Including Race, Maori/Japanese.

The same Applies to the dragon Ezaru I will need to create a finalized design for her,

After that I want to do some concept art for Aces home world and possibly other locations.
another thing ifd there is time is to do short 3-7 second animations of my characters moving so that I can get a feel for them, to see them come to life.

Dragons Lair:

Full quality animated scenes, I have seen the play through Of this game, I wouldn't say its an interesting game but for its time it was pretty good. (an arcade/quicktime game)


Commodore 64
First affordable computer

Story

Fish story,

The Princess is Finnish sorting out a problem in small court, the perp is escorted out after they are done, and after the all clear of having nothing more to do, she stretches out and gets out of her chair and starts to chat with the head guard, a deep rumble catches their attention,
A monster bursts in and the guard rushed to the intruder.
The princes watches the carnage watching it all go down, she grabs a knife and swims over to save her guard from death, they Finnish it off, yay.

Miazaku
1941, Tokyo, japan
Studio Gibli:

Castle in the sky
My neighbor Totoro
Princess Mononoke
Spirited away
The Wind rises


Prefered doing a lot himself, most of the story comes from himself
He create the scripts and storyboard as the story goes, He has such a huge footprint in tha Japan animation industry,


Richard williams (Animation survival kit)
1933 Canada

Pink Panther Films
Who framed rodger rabbit:

animated for live actions, and Cartoon onto live action, (interesting thinnng)

His full animations never got big has he was too finiky to detail

He created a few project that ended up having him kicked out, and the film finnished without him, the films ended up being a huge flop

Auteur Theory

Notes:

Identify a director,
who's work inspires you (Pah!!)
Make a scene in their style



Shower Scene
Director intention?

Creation of suspense, a scene of a wasted life


Importance to the story?

What techniques were used to convey intended meaning?

High angle shots on the killer, low angle shots on the women as she was being murdered
A lot of framing, showing the killer behind her before she notices him



Life Boat Notes:

BORINGGGGG
I didn't stay for the ending,

Ok so, at times this film was pretty interesting however, the scenes dragged on and not too much happened, the fact that it took place in the same space made it hard for me to keep interest in this film, while using only one set location for a film is an interesting concept, it makes it much harder to keep the audiences interest.

more sketches

I really need to get my thumbnails done

anyway, designs for mah fush

                

Comic Idea

Ok so, That doodle form class lead me to drawing another and now i I some sort of idea to do with a mermaid princess and a knight. I live merfolk and don't see too much of them that art for tiny kid so, why not :P

so fun I will probably give them tops though, idk maybe, depends on how it goes

Class doodles

Charcoal

Well I had Fun

egh...

mood down anxiety shit.. didn't follow the lesson so made a spaceship instead sorry...

The guy who didn't like Musicals

The guy who didn't like Musicals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrxKX44qBJ0
Produced by: Starkid


At first I was a bit skeptical about this one, however I found this production very funny, the Humor is on point and the scenes don't drag on
The main character, Paul, is so awkward and this is quite funny when people are singing around him as he refuses to join in.

The whole plot of this makes fun of the musical genre, with people being freaked out by people randomly singing, a twist that I absolutely loved

The Pics are screenshots from the musical which can be watched on youtube (Link at the top)

storyboarding lead to some horrifying creations XD

FINALY DONE THIS THINIMABVOB

Something I liked as a kid

A movie I laughed at as a kid:

I honestly don't remember a movie making me laugh as a kid, not because I didn't, I just don't remember, I can make a few guesses though.

Barbie: Swan-lake
Toy Story
Monsters  INC.

DOGME

Dogme 95 collective

Notes:
group of directors that got together who said no to tech
Shooting on Location.
No Soundtracks
only ambient sounds
camera must be handheld
must be in colour
no superficial action
must take place here and now
not genre movies

Some of the trailers we watched
in some of them they did break the rules,

Breaking the waves
The king is alive
Mifune
Festen

To me all the movies the trailers were for looked incredibly boring, not nessiserioly because it not sci-fi or fantact, there are other things that i can enjoy


Other things that could be or come close to dogme
Documentary
Autobiografy

Film We watched: DOGME 95


Summery:
I have no clue what happened this is the most boring film i've ever watched, I didn't really understand the film, something about a woman struggling with her life
It wasn't able to keep my attention span for long

I ended up just noit watching the end because of the violence, normally im fine with it but today was just not a good day for me,
The film didn't always follow the film rules, and they at times had filters and added background music

Possible poses for portrai
