Scariest Donald Duck scene ever, hehe. Sigh, they just don’t make cartoons like this anymore!  Clip from Mickey and the Beanstalk.

Lady and the Reaper 2010 - animated for an Oscar.  I just luff the varied pacing on this short, and how they’ve kept it pretty simple scene-wise and focussed on the story and style.

My Class 2 Progress Reel - Animation Mentor

In some ways this might look like a step backwards, but believe me it’s not! Although I’ve been animating for a while, the Animation Mentor course has been wonderful in filling in the some of the foundation gaps in my skillset.

I want to make animation to blow audiences out of the water! Can’t want to get through Class 3 - Advanced Body Mechanics with my mentor Jalil Sadool (Weta).

Mentors so far:
Class 1 - Don Kim
Class 2 - Leigh Rens

First fully animated film. FANTASMAGORIE - Emile Cohl.  This is really genius for the time!

(Description below from http://www.filmsite.org/animatedfilms.html )

Historically and technically, the first animated film (in other words, the earliest animated film ever made) was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906) by newspaper cartoonist J. Stuart Blackton, one of the co-founders of the Vitagraph Company. It was the earliest surviving example of an animated film. It was the first cartoon to use the single frame method, and was projected at 20 frames per second. In the film, a cartoonist’s line drawings of two faces were ‘animated’ (or came to life) on a blackboard. The two faces smiled and winked, and the cigar-smoking man blew smoke in the lady’s face; also, a circus clown led a small dog to jump through a hoop.

This was soon followed by the first fully-animated film - Emile Cohl’s Fantasmagorie (1908, Fr.), which consisted solely of simple line drawings (of a clown-like stick figure) that blended, transformed or fluidly morphed from one image into another.

This is Patrick Jean’s new project feat. Naïve New Beaters “L.A. trumpets”.

State of Mind - Sunking. Video by my friend Aleks Sakowski (one of his earlier ones, but if you haven’t seen it you should). 

I don’t know why this man isn’t a world famous multi-millionaire yet.  But anyway he does it for the love, so it’s all good.  The man has patience!

Worth doing.

Now that’s a creative use of props!
