Something strange is going on in Brooklyn. A giant bread creature is poised to attack the city, aliens are living next door, a bear turns up missing, felt critters are walking & talking, and old people start hooking up on the internets. Maybe there's something funny in the water.

The Pratt Institute's Media Arts Department proudly presents the Traditional Animation thesis films of the graduating class of 2007, as well as selected shorts. Students will be in attendance for a Q&A to talk about their stop motion, 2-D computer animation, and hand-drawn films.

Free and open to the public, May 4th & 5th, 7pm at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater

2006 CG IMPLOSION





"Get ready to hurl."

"With billboards and bus posters for ICE AGE 2 (opening today), THE WILD (4/14) and OVER THE HEDGE (5/19) plastering the city, I'm reminded that this could be the yeof Hollywood's rude awakening (re: computer animated features). Hey, I'm an optimist. I don't want these films to fail. My hope is for animators to remain employed, to make great movies. But then I see something like THIS.

Hollywood will get what what it deserves. And it can't come too soon for me."

- Jerry Beck


If anyone is going to hit the nail right on the head it would be Jerry Beck over at Cartoon Brew if you haven't been looking at the brew, you don't know what your missing.

mmm... good brew.

HELP WANTED!

This is Emmett Goodman.

And I am seeking help in working with a Bolex film camera, or any other film camera that the equiptment office holds. I am intending to shoot my final stop-motion assignment (for Bob Lyons' class) on actual film instead of digitally. Call it a personal artistic need. I figure the blog would be the quickest way to do this. I know that this is not what we usually use it for.
Bob has offered to show me how to work with these cameras, but I need to buy the actual film, and I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. Because this a big first for me, I will definitely need to shoot my first celluoid with someone guiding me through it. I need to start this the week we return from Spring Break.
So if anybody reading this can help me, or knows someone who might be able to help, please respond. I will be very grateful for any help I can get.

I hope everyone is enjoying their spring break. I look forward to seeing everyone when we get back.

Cheers,
Emmett.

woo spring break

Yay. Hope everyone's break is off to a good start. I was just sitting in my room and I had a craving for ice cream, so I thought that maybe it would be cool to walk to Cold Stone later and get some. Anyone game? Maybe around 8 or 9... there's a pretty good place on Myrtle too, so I'd settle for that even. Woo.

DISNEY OPEN TO 2D





at the annual shareholder meeting:

"Iger later fielded a question from a shareholder who asked if 2D would be employed for Disney’s Rapunzel: Unbraided, which is being directed by master traditional animator Glen Keane (supervising animator on Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, and Treasure Planet). According to Iger, the film will be made with a revolutionary process, which Kean helped develop, that will allow the animators to draw by hand and have their drawings translated to computer models. Iger also prattled off the cliché line about technology taking a back seat to good storytelling, but drew a round of applause by adding, “If we find that we have great characters and stories and believable worlds, and that it can be depicted in 2D animation, that’s also fine with us. It's an art from that's eternal in many respects and shouldn't be ignored.”
