Peter saville

Some of his work stood out to me  the ones where he uses only a couple of colour I believe these to be his better pieces of work but this is only my opinion

where others I found that I disliked that he had used to much colour however it could be argued that as his pieces where graphic works that they were design to catch the viewer’s eyes as they were passing it but I don’t like to the use of to many bright colours

Osamu Tezuka astro boy

osamu tezuka creator of astro boy

he is remembered as the god of manga as he was the first man who pioneered several famous animations including the world renowned astro boy which has gone onto become several movies and animation series all over the world

i greatly enjoy watching the astro boy series and comparing the different types of animation that have been used to recreate the films and series over and other again,

 my favourite out of all of the ones made is the original animated movie even though it is in black and white it is still brilliant today even when compared with the latest cgi effects.

the wasteland

i like john smiths five minute film called the wasteland because
i liked that he used a poem to inspire this piece of his work and i personally would use it a template on how to go about creating my own narrative film pieces.

'A personal interpretation of the poetry and letters of T S Eliot which explores the ambiguities of language and space in a scenario built around an anagram' [accessed 23/04/2012] online http://www.johnsmithfilms.com/texts/sf81.html


in my own work i like to create a theme or use film to show a story this is why smiths work stood out to me as he had used a poem and described it with a narrative using film.

[acessed 13/042012] online http://www.barbarakruger.com/

I liked that Kruger’s works were messages and that she mainly used reds and black to make her pieces stand out this stood out to me as I often use just red and black in my own work which are bold colours and that her works could be translated though the colours she

The colour red can be translated into several meanings

‘Red has more personal associations than any other colour. Recognized as a stimulant, red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived. Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element’

[acessed 14/04/2012] online at  http://www.sensationalcolor.com/color-messages-meanings/color-meaning-symbolism-psychology/all-about-the-color-red.html

I see red as representing passion and often anger.

now the colour black is often mistaken as it is not a colour but scientifically it is a lack of colour and absence wear as the the colour white is all colours combined into the light spectrum I learnt this back in school but it is also lent when you learn the colour wheel.

Wallace and gromit the movies

A single animation has twenty-five frames per second that's one thousand five hundred per minute which is ninety thousand per hour the average Wallace and gromit animation is is eighty-five minutes each frame is photographed each and every little movement must be included or the characters will look like dodgy puppets which means that the creator has to manipulate the models body's parts into the correct positions, without disrupting the rest of the set every time he takes a photo.

Then each frame must be edited and then there’s putting in the sound effects matching the lip movements to match the speed of each word is pronounced.

This is why is think that is the creators of Wallace and gromit as animators are one of the best role models for amateur traditional animators.

john jude palencar

John Jude Palencar

Palencar’s work is creepily dark yet mysterious and compelling, so that you have to look repeatedly as you notice his attention to detail. I found a pacific piece of his work to be fascinating and inspiring several of his illustrations are so detailed that as first glance they appear real this is something i find enjoyable and begin to wonder how he created it and where his ideas which are extremely dark and forbidding came from.

Hiro Mashima’s fairy tail vs. Eiichiro Oda’s one piece

Hiro Mashima Fairy Tail  http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Hiro_Mashima[accessed 23/04/2012] online                                                                                                

is the Japanese artist of the popular manga and animation series, Fairy Tail, which displays the advanced techniques of drawn animation each step and individual movement, must be drawn individually until the piece comes together use digital software. Each scene in a single episode requires thousands of drawings as twenty-five frames make one single second of film.

Eiichiro Oda’s One piece http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Eiichiro_Oda [accessed 23/04/2012]online   

Is the Japanese artist of the popular manga which is also an animation called one piece both his work and Mashima’s are extremely similar in the style of drawings and characters that resemble each other greatly  and it could be said that one or the other has copied the style of the other.

 

one piece on the left and fairy tail on the right

However, I greatly enjoyed both of their works as it combines excellent animation and scorelines that lead onto even bigger plots as the others resolve themselves

Every film or animation needs a good plot and excellent footage or the film will collapse before it is even nearing its completion I believe that both Mashima and Oda have done this.
