Download or read book On Animation written by Ron Diamond and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be a fly on the wall as industry leaders Bill Kroyer and Tom Sito take us through insightful face-to-face interviews, revealing, in these two volumes, the journeys of 23 world-class directors as they candidly share their experiences and personal views on the process of making feature animated films. The interviews were produced and edited by Ron Diamond. Your job is not to be the one with the answers. You should be the one that gets the answers. That’s your job. You need to make friends and get to know your crew. These folks are your talent, your bag of tricks. And that’s where you’re going to find answers to the big problems - Andrew Stanton It’s hard. Yet the pain you go through to get what you need for your film enriches you, and it enriches the film. – Brenda Chapman Frank and Ollie always used to say that great character animation contains movement that is generated by the character’s thought process. It can’t be plain movement. – John Lasseter The beauty of clay is that it doesn’t have to be too polished, or too smooth and sophisticated. You don’t want it to be mechanical and lifeless. – Nick Park The good thing about animation is that tape is very cheap. Let the actor try things. This is where animation gets to play with spontaneity. You want to capture that line as it has never been said before. And, most likely, if you asked the actor to do it again, he or she just can’t repeat that exact performance. But you got it. – Ron Clements
Download or read book Peterloo People written by SWit'CH and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine the ordinary working folk and their families, whose lives were affected by the events of 16th of August, 1819. Lack of job opportunities, gloomy prospects and increased costs were some of the factors that led to their witness at St Peter's fields. Consider also those who influenced the events and the political atmosphere. Researchers will not find Peterloo People in historical reference books. The literary style aims to introduce this important political milestone through fiction. Real people and events give historical anchors to put flesh on the anonymous participants in what became known as The Peterloo Massacre. This is not a clinical history. A potpourri of passions gives the reader the chance to walk in those shoes of the men, women and children, old and young, impoverished and privileged to the peaceful protest. Barbara Keeley MP, says: "Peterloo People is a creative and reflective commemoration of one of the most important episodes in the history of Manchester."
