Film: PIXAR Animation Studios

In Film class we will finish examining Disney Animation Studios and look at Warner Brothers/Hanna Barbera, South Park Studios and PIXAR Animation Studios this week with a look at their director John Lasseter and the inner workings of the studio.  We will also review what we learned about Aardman Animations/DreamWorks Animation and Studio Ghibli before taking a quiz on Animation on Friday.

Media Arts: Pixilation storyboards

Today is the final class before our spring break so the colored 6 frame storyboards for you pixilations are due today.  Everyone should film their pixilation which should be at least one minute long over the break, check out the demo I did in class on Vine above talong with the student example below to get an idea of what the expectation is.  You are free to use any media such as: cell phones, SLR's, ect. to shoot it as well as apps such as: Vine, iTimeLapse, or any others or simply take photos then edit them when you return using Adobe Premiere, iMovie, or Windows Movie Maker. 



Remember creativity and clean shots are the key here! When we return we will begin our hand drawn animations so take a look at the video below from Pixar's John Lasseter on his advice for students!
