Raeymaker able to control the pace of the film by his choice of directing and design, alternating between the quiet beauty of the landscape and the excitement of a deranged mind.

IDEA

A few years ago, my grandmother I lost to cancer. We were very close, but because of my studies, I do not see often. I knew she was sick, but I only heard she was dying, it was too late. As in the hospital and I was already in a deep coma. I was told that I still have a chance to say goodbye, to tell her, and she can still hear me, but I just can not. What is put in front of me were not my grandma. For me it was a terrible sight. After that, I was very confused. Over and over again began to disturb his death nightmares. In these dreams, there were all kinds of places surreal, like the wings of theaters, Underwater World, and a field of flowers. I thought that these dreams and these places are a good starting point for a short period while avoiding to be a biography, too, and something I do not want at this time was.

Tools and processes

I use the Cintiq and move the Pro Toon Boom Animation, because I like the look of it vector. It gave me more freedom in the composition, the look that you want. With their black shapes animate relatively quickly, but is essentially a decision graph. Creates a connection between these two characters. All have money with traditional media such as acrylic and pencil, and then edited in Photoshop. With the help of some friends, I have also used the 3D reference point.

Challenges and Experiences

It was very difficult, a story that was very personal to tell. Like I said, I originally did not want anything too biography had to be done. But how do I find the slow stage of history step, I realized that the final draft was in fact the essence of what happened to me. I think even I can not answer to the first question is clear, if I did not go trough the whole process. It has helped me to structure my thoughts and me to accept the situation and death.

I was afraid that this story would be cheesy and cliche, and it's my grandmother as a monster is from the injustice of someone missing me so damn good. But my friends and my teachers really encouraged them to explore after the battle, and I'm happy they did. However, I kept with the fear that the story a year or more experience for the audience, and very difficult to easy for everyone. It was about the right balance between the original and understandable. My teachers, especially my friend (who is also the manager) helped me a lot in him. As the first screening of one of my friends, they did not say so, because Bambi felt, I feel very honored, haha!

In terms of pure film, I learned how hard it is to be a director, and at the same time managing all these tasks. She says that some directors films grow naturally, but this was the case for me. I struggled with the development of many of the pieces in the right place. This was especially difficult when you are working on things that you are less familiar with. Like to communicate with my music composers. We had a real discussion, but I think that it is necessary to achieve a good result.

Inspirations

Not mentioned: I love nature. Now the corny and cheesy, seem right? But this is something I really shared my grandmother and together. It's one thing to happen again in all my films, nature and animals. If it were not for the animation, and I want to follow him for a job in the BBC nature Sir David Attenburough!

Where do you see within five years

After filming for me, I would really work with others on interesting projects. This could be short-lived, functions, or anything in between. I love drawing, as long as I can continue to do so, I'll be happy. Animation-wise, there are many good things in Belgium and Europe at the moment, so I'm looking forward to it!

How to use Animation Studio and Director of the Sino-US "robot"

BBC has this studio video-frame animation in Beijing, China, based light chaser film that will create one of the many companies in China, the quality CGI Hollywood is. The company was founded by Gary Wang, founder of Tudou, the Chinese equivalent of YouTube.

One of the coolest things about the video was a vision of the future "telepresence robots", directed by animation work in American society:

lightchaser-robot Director

Accompanying the BBC article describes how the robot to use a mobile platform with the iPad, in the workshop:

Wi-Fi device, which can be controlled to move in the offices of the company and allows animation director Colin Brady, who lives in Los Angeles, and do not want to move to China to communicate with the rest of the team in Beijing .

He says he uses the robot more than was originally planned. "In conversations and interviews with the new staff, very helpful to look into the eyes of the people and on the screen of their own," says Brady. "It is very strange, a robot that can run independently and surprise people in their offices, but a bit of fun to be a part of it." The best thing to use it is to him that allows him to spend more time at home.

The aide said Mu Chen: "It's a little scary when Colin suddenly appears from behind, but fortunately there is not much." But she says she does not talk Colin strange by the device, as is the habit of using FACE TIME applications from Apple.

Here you can take a look at the first light of Hunters Little Yeyos project, which is about seven, take "small heads, which travels in the world of the legendary Chinese spirit to live in the night."

The beginning of the 2014 monitoring competitors prices function

2014 participants Wholesale

With eight months of last year almost, we begin a clearer idea of who will have the key competitors in the price next season. On the one hand it was a year of slow animation without new versions of Pixar, lighting and Sony Pictures Animation. On the other hand, there were more and more attention to the originals relatively large studios, including LEGO movie, and boxing Rolls, and the book of life.

It is premature as to who is nominated for Annie, Golden Globe and Oscar, predict. But it is not very difficult to distinguish between the main competitors in the studio this time. Alphabetical order, these are:

  • Big Hero 6 (Disney)
  • Book of Life (Reel FX / Fox)
  • And boxing Rolls (Laika / Focus Features)
  • How to Train Your Dragon 2 (Dreamworks / Fox)
  • Lego movie (Animal Logic / Warner Bros.)
  • Song of the Sea (Cartoon Salon / Gkids)
  • Story of Princess Kaguya (Studio Ghibli / Toho / Gkids)

Think it was not published five of these films in the United States, and supports their status depends on how they are received. Monday train only obvious candidate on the list and to Train Your Dragon 2 and LEGO movie, which earned high marks from both critics and audiences.

In addition to these major competitors, there are many other films that have to probably qualify. Here is a ten other versions will likely be discussed during the awards season:

  • The boy and the world
  • Cheatin '
  • Jack and heart Cuckoo
  • The Penguins of Madagascar
  • Rio 2
  • Rocks in my pockets
  • Aunt Hilda
  • Tarzan 3D
  • Thunder and Magic House
  • Underdogs
  • Also sbornia Do Us Part

The aim of the menus above to provide an overview of pre-award contenders for 2014 animated film. Do not be surprised if other big animated films pop up from now until the start of the awards season. Overall it was a good year for the office of American competitors animation with unique and international efforts and strong, independent alike. In the absence of a solid favorite, and frozen the dominance of last year, the competition promises to be intense in the coming months, and put more attention on some very valuable films.

Why does the program work the pitch Nick

Nickelodeon logo

After more than 100 locations in the first open tender for major projects in the San Diego Comic-Con last month announced, Nickelodeon created the green light for Kopkakeree death of Trevor Rees. Reese is a resident of Eureka, California, who writes a blog for comics from the newspaper La Presse Democrat, and the idea revolves around the bears (patches) and mouse (Cheese Bert) who want to conquer the world.

"We loved the angle and clever Trevor adorable character, but generally only Kopkakeree have us laugh," said Gina Boyd, senior vice president of development Nick animation. "Trevor is a lifelong fan of Nick, who told us that he actually sent a picture of the history of our region adhere Stickly, when he was a kid in the 90s, so we had a hunch that he we understand the sensitivity. "

cupcakeryofdoom

In the past three years, Nick has made a concerted effort to provide friendly face through the process a "creator is not as public as possible. Been Done, in part, to meet the needs of the deficit over the long term, new deals with Public Awareness, as the provide that of Cartoon Network and Disney competitors. stages in addition to taking in the Comic-Con, she has a new launched program of short films and started a mini-college course on offer, the development was in the CalState Fullerton tested with an eye toward expansion in other places.

While these programs effectively in the illusion that they are the creators of the environment, they should not be taken on the net, this is actually the creator of the environment. Basics: for the network to be the creator of the environment, we must first be able to identify the creative potential.

No studio or network has dozens of random people on the street to find ideas, because, quite simply, is the idea of magic legend. One idea is in fact less important part of the game. Each concept or an idea that can be surprisingly perhaps, if the person does not.

Not only in the history of animation focuses on this issue, Nick himself has many successes of his own, he can study, Ren and Stimpy Rugrats to SpongeBob. Ideas and commonplace each to a certain extent. But in any case, there was a creator (or creators) who has spent years developing a unique voice in building a creative team that can assist in the implementation of this idea.

If the development exec Jenna Boyd says Nick opted for the idea of someone because the person saw Nick and "we had the impression that he understood our feelings," he reveals the devastating lack of understanding about the qualities must in the representation of the creative possibilities are evaluated. How it through creative animation and how that person has to put already worked with many others around the artist her life her voice? If these questions have no answers, then you lose time by all.

If the effect was particularly damaging to the field program Nick lose a bunch of money from the production of Viacom driver useless, just because we won stupidity executive. But it is also a moral murderer every artist working in the workshop. Imagine that you are an artist who has spent years developing your skills well enough to work in this industry to provide professional, and the company who are actively seeking ideas film Fanboys Comic-Con and untrained Students are busy. How can an artist in the studio Nick believe that outsourcing to provide ideas for people who are not qualified and do not even recognize the talent under his nose? (And yes, I know that many motorists of the artists who performed work in the studio, but it's shooting in the dark quality of the inconvenience of opposing fans against professionals as if everyone has the same ability, a TV hit to create .)

I bet everything I have that SpongeBob is available today in the next artist who works in the theater. The artist does not know, maybe. You can be sure of a curse did not know his nick Entertainment exec. Is not this idea by being covered by the development of talent in house, relying on the long years of the core can not be achieved using the hotkeys, is a hundred pitches or one mile, but.

Established Public glasses and even the idea of a monument as a rule, ignore the fundamental nature of how artists work creatively. The vast majority of artists develop the sound intertwined everything in the daily routine of creation and production. The challenge is to identify the handful that have shown a tendency to experiment, to say something meaningful and you have to move their strength of character forward on their own. Can these artists, and to provide accordingly given the time and resources, and the next SpongeBob.

Or, if you keep Nickelodeon, the courts by anyone with a pulse.
