animation terrorisers.

i just recently bought the new 'yen magazine' and there was a section about animation thus i thought it was interesting so here it is....



'south australian based animation studio, the People's Republic of Animation is becoming a stronger power in the media. their satirical portrayal of terrorism, Erroris: a comedy of terrors has been picked up by bodaphone as a moble phone series in the UK. inspired by classic cartoons like ren and stimpy, director eddie white tells us why dark subject matter is prevalent in the work of the PRA:
"i guess it's because we are dark and disturbed people! honestly we like to inject a certain light and shade into everything we do so its more interesting. if you play the two against each other the results can be really interesting and create different reactions from the audience. taking something cute and subverting it like we've done with errorism -- or something really funny that is at the same time tragic -- are the most enjoyable things to work on," says white.'




also just to note that the peoples republic of animation are also responsible for 'sweet and sour' which we semi-half watched in todays lecture. there are other short films likecarnivore reflux which also deals with the ferral ideas. carnivore reflux was also shown at the animation film festival a few weeks ago.

apart from animations on this website there are tv series downloads games and promos all of which i find interesting.

first offical post for the animation blog.

ok. so in this course im having trouble finding my feet and what i actually know and dont know. well its easy i dont know alot thus its hard for me to learn as there is soooo much going on and everyone seems like they know exactly what they are doing where as im just crusing along. 

so i have offically decided to get my arse into gear. i know its a bit late but as they say its better late than never! so now it is time for me to actually do things like create this blog for example. i know im either going to just pass or fail cause i have left everything so late.


i have chosen something to animate which i think will be different to what everyone else is doing. from those that have told me what they are doing they are more like stories where as i have a poem which i will animate. first year's normally animate to the poem as its a little bit easier. 

i plan to have a snapshot of what each line is saying.
the pictures will be hand drawn and probs just stay black and white.
i might put in a little colour later.
i want the pictures to seem like they are being drawn on and then show the final image. that probs makes no sense cause i dont know how to explain it that well but it makes sense in my brain!!!

i will get my friend erin to do the voice over. 
it will have very simple sound as its a simple poem.

and yes. thats about it.
so now i must go drawn some things so i can show andrew when i see him on tuesday....that is if i do
