-Her work remind she me of old posters, like the ones for magic shows or cafes
-They also remind me of bookcases because of the way the letters are placed or the background
-Letters can vary from thin to thicker
-Thin letters most of times are white]]> 2018-03-12 12:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/240820458 Fonts julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/240820701 Serif- font around all the research, with all the topics in one
Sans Serif- just like the normal serif font but without the normal serif details]]> 2018-03-12 12:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/240820701 Positive/Negative space julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/245832847 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_(photography)
I used this link to find out what are the negative and the positive spaces for two of my 60 images, they needed to be one containing positive space and the other one containing a negative space, it was really helpful to finish my work in the right way.]]> 2018-03-25 14:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/245832847 Cameras julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/245916654 Oscura - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura

We were presented to some members of the Split Studio. I already knew some of their projects, so it was good to meet the new ones they had, like, Howdy Harry, Os under-undergrounds and a few others. They also mentioned animation programs that weren't new for me, but it was good to know which ones are the main ones (Flash/Adobe Animate and Toon Boom) also knowing that some studios develop their own programs.
I'm keeping this information so I can be updated by their future works.]]> 2018-04-10 12:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/250237035 The animator's survival kit julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/257225285 The animator's survival kit is a book by the animator and director Richard Williams, the one behind the fantastic animation of the movie "Who framed Roger Rabbit?". I wanted to include this book to my research after the end of the project, because it contains many animation tricks and tips I used to make my short, from frame by frame to the called smear frames.

]]> 2018-05-02 13:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/257225285 Smear Frames julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/257228978 Smear Frames is an animation technique inside the 2D animation, being traditional or digital. Added this to my research because I used in some scenes of my project, like fast actions, for example the scene were the character point the gun to the screen, in this one frame the gun and character are all distorted.
Smear Frames, is one of the fastest and easiest ways of animating a fast action without needing to add more than 1 frame, it creates an illusion to the human eye that the object or character in the scene is moving smoothly because of this one quick "blur" you see on screen.]]> 2018-05-02 13:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/257228978 Butch Hartman julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/257249189 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Hartman
Butch Hartman is an animator, director, producer, voice actor and recently started your own YouTube videos answering questions of fans and making new content.
He's most known by his cartoon "Fairly OddParents"
I added him after the project was finished because I wasn't basing much of my animation or ideas on his work, but I realize now that they are pretty similar, like the innocent humor or the simple animation style (not many frames are used, so it doesn't look so fluid as a frame by frame animation).]]> 2018-05-02 13:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/257249189 TheOdd1sOut julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/257257149 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo8bcnLyZH8tBIH9V1mLgqQ
Aka James Rallison, is an American (from Arizona) webcomic artist, most known for his YouTube channel, "TheOdd1sOut". His drawing skills aren't the best in the world but I got based on the way he tells his life stories through simple animation techniques, that I used for my video, such as non lip syncing on the blue character and goofy simple expressions.
Also the way he talks, like if he was talking to someone through the screen.]]> 2018-05-02 14:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/257257149 Jaiden Animations julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/257262277 https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCGwu0nbY2wSkW8N-cghnLpA
Jaiden is an American youtuber (part from the animation community), her videos contain animations about her life.
Just like TheOdd1sOut/James, she uses the same formula (talk about her life if she was talking to you), but for me, she does it better because of her skills. She animates the lip syncing (got me to animate the one of my second character in the video), some fast actions and she seems to be more advanced in terms of art skills (animation/drawing).]]> 2018-05-02 14:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/257262277 EroldStory julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/258063032 https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCAlxwHEm1bWWYoe5VCSQYEg
Is an animator youtuber, just like Jaiden and Odd1sOut, he talks a about his life stories using drawings and, what catched my attention, pictures, for example, furniture, food, places or animals. Got me to think on the spider used in my animation, that is just picture that moves in a wacky way.]]> 2018-05-04 15:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/258063032 SrPelo julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/258068693 https://mobile.twitter.com/_SrPelo_
https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCt-GOpCw4dOBlIyqL9A1ztA
Sr Pelo or David Axel, is a Mexican YouTube animator, illustrator and voice actor, most know for his amazing voice acting skills and sound effects. He was my first thought when the project ideas came to me, because just like most youtube animators, they talk about their lives, in a way the audience fell related. In David's case, I took many references, such as a similar voice and sound effects, from my friend Joel, not only that but the dark humor, for example, the part when the blue character punches the one talking, or the time when the protagonist talks about the things that scare them, and the last scene with the giant gun.
Another thing I forgot to point out, that makes David very well known are the face expressions he uses in his animations, they are very exaggerated, it caches the public's laughs and attention. I couldn't make such faces but it got me inspired to make as much expressive faces as possible.
One important thing to add would be the fact that I have been asking questions and talking to David to know more about his creative process, for example what kind of program he uses to animate, and he uses Adobe Flash/Animator, the same one I used in my project.]]> 2018-05-04 15:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/258068693 Richard Williams julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/259292286 https://twitter.com/rwanimator?lang=en
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Williams_(animator)
Richard Edmund Williams is a Canadian–British animator, voice artist, and writer, best known for serving as animation director on Disney/Amblin's Who Framed Roger Rabbit and for his unfinished feature film The Thief and the Cobbler.
I'm adding him to the research file not just because he is the author of the book I mensioned at the begging "The Animator's Survival kit", but because of his big influence in the world of animation, known for his stunning work with fluid/organic feel.]]> 2018-05-09 14:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/259292286 Aaron Blaise julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260236869 https://creatureartteacher.com/
Aaron Blaise is a director, illustrator and most known for being an animator, who worked in many classic Disney movies, such as *The lion king*, *Beauty and the beast* and *Aladdin*. He is most known for his creation *Brother bear*. I got curious about his work mostly after I found out he makes online art courses that you can buy and use them for references or learning new animation or drawing techniques, like walk cicles and animal anatomy. And of course I bought them.]]> 2018-05-13 15:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260236869 Walt Disney julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260448316 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney
Walter Elias Disney was an American entrepreneur, animator, voice actor and film producer. A pioneer of the American animation industry.
I added him to my research because he is one of the people that keeps inspiring me to go through the animation world, because of not only his inspiring story (that included a lot of fighting between dreams and money problems), but his movies and it's messages, for example, the classic, not stoping to dream and making your wishes come true.
Also the fluid and many times realistic animation (frame by frame technique), interests me a lot, because how it brings the characters alive.]]> 2018-05-14 13:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260448316 PIXAR animation studios julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260457863 https://www.pixar.com/
Pixar Animation Studios, is an American computer animation film studio based in Emeryville, California that is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.
I'm not listing only one person because I really like the full studio's works, the animation, concept art, clever script and illustrations. Their work got me really interested of how clever their stories are, they are simple but their messages tell us a lot about ourselves, and how it's hard or great to be human an de live in this world. One of my favorite works from them would be *Finding Nemo*, *Toy story trilogy*, *Brave* and *Coco*. Each moving having amazing stories to tell and each one with new a 3d animation technique, for example, in Coco, the animators got the challenge to add clothing to skeletons and make the fabric feel real, which they did in an expectacular way.]]> 2018-05-14 13:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260457863 Ivo Caprino julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260477405 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivo_Caprino
Ivo Caprino was a Norwegian film director and writer, best known for his puppet films. I found out about his work when I watched an stop-motion movie called *Louis & Luca and the Snow Machine*. It was a movie inspired in Ivo's most known work, *The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix*. The animation techniques aren't anything new for the stop motion world, but it has a very particular style with the puppets that remind me of puppetry shows. It's a very interesting way of making a stop motion character like this.]]> 2018-05-14 14:11:01 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260477405 Glen Keane julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260506647 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Keane
Glen Keane is an American animator, author and illustrator. Keane was a character animator at Walt Disney Animation Studios for feature films including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Tarzan and Tangled. I saw almost all of his concepts and animated scenes, his traditional skills impress me, and make me want to learn the traditional way. I found out about his name when I read the making of of Tarzan, with amazing ilustrations and moving image drawings (what I mean by that, are drawings with sequences, not like an animation, but drawing so that when you "read" or look you can imagine the movement).]]> 2018-05-14 15:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260506647 Ex Africa julia_oliveira2 https://padlet.com/julia_oliveira2/9xn859df7nd6/wish/260547919 Ex Africa was an exposition happening at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, it's located in the center of São Paulo.
It presents a variety of themes, from the slavery in the past to sports and art of today.
One of the works that got me interested that relates to the project of this week was a display of this costume, I don't know it's meaning, but that seems to have something religious of an African culture, in any case, this costume had many different materials, from glass to ropes attached to balls made of some kind of simple wood reminding paper. All that combined with the man wearing it and walking, made interesting sounds, reminding me of a one band man.
Not only this costume but a big sculpture In the center of the exposition, it was basically a giant cube covered with many types of wooden boxes with things that people throw away, like honey pots and magazines.
