THE TREASURE HUNT....Continued

Warner Bros presents…. ‘The Case of the missing hare’ (1942) and ‘Hubie & Bertie the Aristo Cat’ (1943). Both the films were directed by Chuck Norris Jones.

Most of Jones’ cartoons in the 1930’s and 1940’s were to try and shadow Walt Disney’s shorts. One of the big influences of Jones’ works was the Disney short ‘Tom Thumb in trouble’. (Seen below)

Jones joined the Disney studio for a short period when the Warner Bros studio momentarily closed in 1953.

In 1942 Jones released his new work The Dover boy’s separating himself from Disney and coming out with a new chic ‘Stylized Animation’. This style was a lesser realistic animation style, especially compared to Disney’s animations. It’s said Jones felt that this was when he “learned how to be funny” by using his animations.

In ‘Monsters Inc.’ Pixar paid homage to Chuck Norris Jones cartoon ‘Feed the Kitty

My First Animation - Depression over Time

Today, I finally perfected my animation that I drew for my final art assignment of yr 12 last year. It took me the whole term to draw it up on A3 and piece together in a movie file. I didn't like how it turned out using imovie so utilizing the TAFE's Flash program I put my stills together to make this:

I had a song that went with it...but after our copyright talk in class, I don't want to risk getting in troubles :). You can watch it on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqRNmAs3Fh4, the video is bigger there.

The concept behind my animation was to show the development of depression as an example of facade. Usually when somebody have depression you hide behind a mask (facade) of false happiness to cloak how you really feel. After a while the facade starts to leak and show through and it becomes harder to hide how you feel until it breaks loose.
There were a few missing frames at the start which I'm not happy about but nevertheless it turned out better than i expected for an amateur :d

Animation Treasure Hunt for GOLDEN NUGGETS!!! crazy stuff

This morning we went on an adventure to the wondrous place called a 'Library', it was full of joy and joyness :P Before we left, Franky Frank gave us a list of things to find on our treasure hunt adventure.
If you have been watching the Oscars then you would've seen the winner of this years best animated short film 'The Lost Thing'. The resources available at the library are a few of his other children books that he did: 'The Bird King' and 'The Animal'. The Library offers a wide range of Magazines about animated films released. These are stored in the Level 2 of the building. I flipped through one of the magazines and it was very interesting :D
The library offers many helpful resources such as copyright information that you can search up on their website. Copyright affects us ALL!!

The book that two of the '9 old men' Frank Thomas and Olie Johnson, the title oif the book is 'The Illusion of Life' located on level 3.
Another helpful book that we found on our adventure was Richard Williams 'Animaton Survival Kit' found on the same level as 'The Illusion of Life'. There is also a DVD version of the book that you can rent out.
When Franky Frank went to Paris in 2009 he brought back magical gifts and stores them in the wondrous Library. The magical gifts that Franky Frank brought back were a 2 DVD set of animation and class exercises.

The wonderful libary also supplies Miyazaki films such as ; Nausicaa of the valley of the wind, Kikki's delviery service, Spirited Away, Howl's movie Castle, Porco Rosso and Laputa Castle in the Sky.

What I've learnt from this treasure hunt is that the Library supplies a lot of useful resources that can help me gather creative research and ideas for future assessments.
