Lecture 8

The final lecture that we had was on the approaches to history of an art form. During this lecture there was alot of information said that i didnt know about the art form, animation. For instance, the animation Andre and Wally B was the first of its kind to use motion blur, which was seen as a major technological advance in animation. Which John Lasseter was mainly responsible for. Following this many other breakthroughs were brought to light, such as body bends and self shadowing. From these breakthroughs, animation was able to become more realistic.

From the realsim aspect we started to watch the disney hit, Bambi, showing how it was created to feel realistic. From the multi panning camera from the backgorund been able to move as the scene does. Another that came up when watching this was how they had been training to be hypersexual/homosexual, taken from when thumper goes through Bambi's legs and looks up. With many ideologies held within Disney films we then looked at works from Myazaki, and how these differ.

I liked this lecture as made my knowledge of my chosen subject was made broader.
