Scene 3
(There are eight scenes to this documentary and this is the third one; the actual embedded flash is in the full post to avoid making people load a ~3MB file on the main page; the other scenes will be posted later)
Here’s scene 3! This is when I started getting really annoyed with how long it took to lip-sync stuff, so I started to use a lot more images that filled the whole screen, and just did a bunch of random panning/zooming instead of having the people on screen. The sources for all the images (or at least most of them) are in the ending credits in scene 8.
And of course, the next scene will address the beginnings of animation, because it’d be weird to have a scene with people making random guesses at how animation began without later addressing how it actually began.
Okay, lots of stuff here that I was unfamiliar with. I’m agreeing with most people and saying it began with flipbooks.
Yay.
Animations!
Hooray~ Marisa sneaked in thar 8D!!!
i wonder if Yukari will pop up…. lol jk 8D
Animation Documentary is serious business~
Boo, everyone’s just saying how people make it rather than how it began. 0 on SAT!
Um, I think it began in some foreign country, with shadow puppets… I think the country was Indonesia…
YAY SCENE 3! :D
Mystia at the end?
Oh snap
Yay, kinetiscopes!
Also, hmm, I’d been having lots of trouble loading the site earlier …
I’m really liking the touches you placed on the responses to the questions. It gives off that awesome documentary feel, which I think was your goal in the first place. You know, after the project subject and all. :P
So did the last “Unnamed character” get it right?
Oh the suspense!
The animation teacher is like a breath of fresh air in terms of answers, touching on the origins of sequential art in cave paintings and mentioning animation pioneers like Windsor McCay. (His “Gertie the Dinosaur” was sometimes credited as the very first animated film, though it wasn’t, just one of the earliest known.) I’d forgotten about thaumatropes; I’m trying to remember where zoetropes fit into the timeline.
Also, LOL at the fellow being deconstructed in Flash as he talks about the program.
Oh wait, they were named in the first animation weren’t they?
:/
Ah yes, the process or thingy that makes it move. The most important part of any animation. XD
I’m pretty sure Mystia was at the end.
I love these documentaries x3
Also, I have been having a lot of trouble getting into Walfas and loading the full page for these. :|
I think Walt Disney started the whole animation thing o.o
Nah I didn’t see a hat on that street clea- bird, so it probably wasn’t Mystia.
Also OH MY GOD YOU TOOK THAT GUY’S FACE OFF HIS HEAD :O
Also also, yeah, I’ve had a bit of trouble with Walfas recently also… which is why I haven’t been posting as many comments.
@Vappie: Congratulations, you are now guilty of committing “All Animation Is Disney” (warning, link leads to TVTropes, Muffin is not responsible for hours of time lost as a result of clicking that link).
Heh! Isn’t it fun how a project for high school can serve as entertainment for lots of people in the internet?
Oh wait! Isn’t it how Highly Responsive to Prayers came to be?
Wow, is a pretty interesting animation so far, the idea of the images and zommings is cool, they give more life and fun to the “film”
Wikipedia is almost as wise as Google, go see it yourself
This is an awesome documentry. I’d buy it. When is MiCo gonna sell the series!?
@G: No. Amusement Makers was (is) an extracurricular club, and it was in a college.
LOTSA STACKS
:O
To Marisamuffin:
*didn’t click that link lol cause I’m uninterested*:D
Either way nice work KirbyM
Great, why did you have to remind us of Joe Quesada’s ultimate Spider-Man abortion that was One More Day?
Ozamu Tezuka, he was the mangaka that started Astro boy durning about the 60’s he drew a manga but it wasn’t that famous, but after the guy Walt Disney began doing the old old old black and white mickey shows, the mangaka became inspired by him, so he drew one of the most popular anime in japan,Astro Boy, it raved there and in the US. lol i actually learned all this by watching a documentary of animation on tv….
that’s how anime got started… :)
