3-D Printing "Ring Destroyer"

silly symphony - the skeleton dance

Now that I am learning more about the in-debt nature of animation, I have a whole new respect for it and it's creators. I loved the skeleton dance a lot, it made me giggle through the whole episode. I could only imagine the long hours and hard work the animators must have put into this piece of work back in the older days, when there were not as much technology as we have today.

Fantasmagorie

I love this animation that Emile created in 1908, called "Fantasmagorie". I am impressed of the way it was created , by "drawing on an illuminated glass plate and then traced the next drawing-with variations-on top of it until he had some 700 drawings". My first impressing was that it was created on a chalk board, but to my surprise it was not, ingenious.I love how the illusion was created by, "filming black lines on paper and then printing in negative Cohl makes his animations appear to be chalk drawings".

Wayang Kulit

Wow, The Wayang culture gives new meaning to the shadow world, since Wayang is an Indonesian word for theatre (literally "shadow"). I enjoyed learning about this culture. I never knew that the Indonesian took this form of art so serious, and I respect the fact that this is something that is learnt from childhood, and it becomes a lifestyle.
