activity11_ Believability

Disney brought “believability" to animation that wasn't there to begin with. ... Goofy, and Donald Duck, are made to cope with the overwhelming impersonality of a ... drawings, and hence enhance cartoons with a new "believability principle.

I choose this amazing animation which has lots of believability principle .I like this black and white Animation, Successful relationship between music and scene.

My all-time favourite Donald Duck

If a cartoon is too realistic the reader will instinctively relate it into his own world and become uncanny about the mismatches that there eventually are. Any good cartoon, or fiction for that matter, builds up its own universe and makes it clear to the reader what genre this is. One would never hear a critic say that Donald Duck is an unrealistic character.

activity10_ Synecdoche

Synecdoche is closely related to metonymy (the figure of speech in which a term denoting one thing is used to refer to a related thing); indeed, synecdoche is sometimes considered a subclass of metonymy. It is more distantly related to other figures of speech, such as metaphor. (Wikipedia)

Erica Russell "Triangle"

Beautiful Animation maybe even better than "Feet of Song" I keep looking at it over and over and over again. I love the line, quality and rhythm is particularly moving.

The association is with the triangle shape, in a human context involving the introduction of a second woman into the mix. This triggers a dynamic of jealousy and rage, though it seems reconciled at the end.

The perspective should be that of a dancer to appreciate the elastic movements of the dancers, the give and take of their relationship, and the sexually charged chemistry as two young lovers embrace before the arrival of another woman to the triangle of love. A painter too would appreciate the lush use of colour. There is passion here that unifies the arts

activity9_Metaphor(and Symbol)

Can you have a look at this piece of work and comment on your blog on what you consider to be some of the metaphors being used?

The Big Snit

This is a great example of the use of metaphor in animation. Some types of metaphor’s being used are:

Butterfly >Represent of Short happiness of life before the nuclear war, holocaust and poverty has begun.

Eye> the husband complains about his wife's habit of shaking her eyes. This is a Metaphor of her frustration at her husband taking his time with his turn at scrabble and his “sawing” distraction.

Sawing>Husband has the bad habit of sawing from watching the TV show "Sawing for Teens" They barely notice that there is panic in the streets. Sawing the table and furniture may Metaphor of Life is depressing and stressing enough.

Wings> There is life after death – Everyone maybe dead but finally they are at peace and happy.

Cage> cat swinging off the bird cage. Maybe represent of their marriage life from his side.

Heart in the eye> Metaphor Love. After all this frustration and distressing about their marriage there are still love each other. Till death do us part?

The skeleton news presenter> represent of nuclear war which they don't notice that a nuclear war has begun.

activity8_Condensation

This video helped me a lot to understand more about condensation, and I've loved this animation since the first time I saw it years ago. It’s says so mush without words of dialogue. The song in this is sung by Lucy Wainwright Roche.
