William Kentridge: I liked this method of charcoal usage. One the key methods that stuck out to me the most was the fact that he didn't erase the motions of the characters, he left the extra charcoal lines there. It gave a cool effect. then for models he would use his own body, talk about hot. The short film with the idea of cats and trolly's was a sweet idea. The lasers would use the cats as electricity and such. The lasers being blue really helped bring out everything in that film as well.

Having the split screen agenda really brought the film to life too. They would interact with each other like when the one business guy was typing up info and then the guy on the right would type some stuff up and then the first guy would reach across the screen and steal the info. I thought that was oh so fun.

Another aspect of the of his collective works that i admire is the fact that he does not know the whole story when he is creating the images. I like creating stuff that way, i mean you might not have a end in mind but getting there is the fun part. plus its like what we were talkn about in class. you don't have to purposely put some deeper meanings in the film, what you are about will shine through in some odd way thru the film. i can see where that point is coming from. Stereoscope.

We watched a computer animated video on class last thursday, i kinda forgot what it was called, i wanna say 'ryan' or something simple of that name area. but i really liked how the mental state was presented thru colored strings strangling their heads. The beginning part where he was discussing himself before the interview where it went inside his head was pretty good. It dove into his head with all these electronic sparks and weird noises. That effect really helped the atmosphere. Especially when it sucked out and he was like whatever, that's another story yo. These kind of movies are out there if you look for them. but i dont' really look for them. so i was pretty amazed at what kind of stuff the animation artists are doing with this type of material, cause now a days you just see a bunch of 3d animated movies or cel shaded junk. it's art, but i havent seen it used this way. take for example, the remake 'appleseed', in my opinion was a flop, the opening scene was okay, cel shaded graphics look cool, no doubt about it, but the movie adaption to the original anime and manga, was just beat down to death with the graphics and motion. i'd really like to know what other kind of material like this are out there. if anybody knew some links drop me some. it would be greatly appreciated.
