Unit 1-Holiday Drawings

Unit 2-Dream Works and Studio Ghibli

Dream works was founded on October 12 1994, after Katzenberg resigned from working at Disney.

 Some of there movies include: How to train your dragon, And rise of the guardians. I enjoyed both of these movies as they both had good characters, animation and story lines. The dream workes founders made a deal that they would make less than 9 movies a year, they would be able to work for other studios, and they would be able to b home in time for dinner. Dream works continue to be rival to Disney.

Studio Ghibil, the name Ghibli was given by Hayao Miyazaki, the studio was founded after the success of the film valley of the wind. The studio mostly produced films by Miyazaki, and the studio went on to create lots of interesting movies such as: howls moving castle , and spirited away. Both movies I really enjoyed, the animation and art style was so unique and really applied to me. 

Unit 2-Disney and Preston Blair

Disney

Disney started in 1919 where animator Walt dissent created a animation called Alice's wonderland, and became one of the biggest animation studios in the world. Disney continued to make animated films even after Walt's death, and has inspired many young animators. Disney was also home to the 9 old men, two of which created the animators bible( the illusion of life ) 

this book would inspire and teach young animators, man about the 12 principles of animation.

                                                                                   

Preston Blair  was born  on the 24th of October 1908, and died on the 19th of April 1995. He was an American animator of Disney, and wrote a book called ANIMATION. His book focuses on teaching animation and character design, like how to create effect cute characters or how to draw hand gestures.

Blair uses very round shapes in his art works and doesn't used much colour except for the back ground which is a mid tone colour.
 Blair uses a technique for reading cute characters, making the head larger compared to the size of the body, and this difference can make a very cute and appealing character. The medium that Blair used seems to be paper even mid tone paper. paper with a brownish colour to it. The pictures below are from Blairs book on animation and character design, and Blair draws many famous and recognisable characters in his book, and the pictures below are about creating cute character design and some examples of puppy character design. Blair has a more stylised drawings than realistic drawing, he may have drawn in this style as he may have believed that a more styled approach is more appealing.

Unit 1-Briefs and Story Boards

My brief 

The first meeting of my two mane characters, the scene opens up with a dark screen and sound affects of rocks falling and a little girl crying. Soon the viewer sees eyelids open to reveal a girl crying on the main character, the girl stops crying and turns to face the boy with a confused look.

Zoe:( confused tone ) Your'e okay? (relieved) Thank god, but.. I thought you were dead.

Lin: (looks up, and with a shaky tone) Were.. are we?

Zoe: (calming dow and starts looking around) Not sure, this land must have been unstable and caved in as a result of the earth quake.

Lin: (Still confused)... Ok, and how are we ?

Zoe: (Looks at him with a dumb expression) ...I'm Zoe, you seriously don't no who you are? ( Lin Shakes his head)..Dude, thats so cliche.

Lin: Sorry, Its all a blank even my name.

Zoe: Hmm... that won't do... how about.... Lin.

Lin: What?
