About Miyamoto who made some of the best games ever(they have animation in,them)

Him Henson and Walt Disney , Muppets and mickey

°I never knew the two of them we're uncomfortable with praise if I we're them I would soak it in like a lizard in,the sun

° I didn't know Henson liked going out for fancy dinners or cool cars, he seems like a guy who would stay at home working on the next episode of the Muppet Show

° I didn't know Henson worked on fragle rock, I thought he only made the Muppets

° I,liked the,article but really didn't think it,was relevant I would have liked to learn more about Pixar or Dreamworks instead

° I think instead of charming about Jenkins life I would have liked to learn about how he came up with his ideas and made his shows instead

° can we learn about Walt Disney and his animation process or Hensons productions more?

Storyboard tips from Dreamworks

°I never knew adding depth can make your storyboard more dynamic, it's gonna help when I have to make my next storyboard.

° I didn't know Laying down a grid could help with character placement, it makes sense though now storyboarding seems so much easier

° I didn't know background and foreground could help sell the story

°I think this is really helpful and will makeup storyboards much better

°I would have liked to hear some tips from some Pixar animators, the advice from different companies would be really cool

°Any other tips, maybe from more animators?

I learned that music and color affect viewers as much the the movie itself

I want to learn, how to make music on the computer

I was frustrated when YouTube loaded for 20 minutes delaying me getting the link at the bottom

I was happy when I was paid 40$ to help my aunt, move this week

This video is an awesome example of stop motion animation

° i didnt know a video could anger so many people in an industry

° I didn't  know an advertisement that doesn't even mention the brand until the end could be so effective

° I,didn't know old spice commercials,we're narratives

° I don't understand how ,something that doesn't even,mention,the brand can be effective

°Some people can do nothing,and offend everyone, I don't know how though..

°how was this,so offensive to people?

Music in movies

°I didn't know music affects us so much in movies, it's crazy psychological stuff

° I didn't know those sounds in horror movies are linked to the sounds of animals in distress

° I didn't know phsyco almost didn't have music

° I honestly think silence in a horror movie is just as creepy as the sounds they put in

°I thought this article was really cool and shows just how psychological music is

° Do the,sounds we hear Jason make Friday the Thirteenth count as music or just sounds?

Too many movies?

http://touch.latimes.com/#story/la-fi-ct-animation-20130820/

°I didn't know Rise of the guardians was a box office failure, I didn't think it was that bad a movie

° apparently there are ALOT of animated movies coming out, 13 not counting smaller ones, the theaters are gonna be more saturated with movies than a sponge under water

° I didn't expect DreamWorks  to have a failing movie

° I saw he trailer for the new Lego movie and it looks funny

° Not surprised that Smurfs 2 failed

° I wonder if animated movies will overestimate theaters to the breaking point?

Low budget, good quality

http://vashivisuals.com/visual-effects-low-budget-filmmaking/

°Wow, I didn't know famous directors like Spielberg used techniques like that, it's something you'd expect in an Indie movie!

°I never knew by using models and real people at different lengths from the camera can create the illusion of a life size object like a car or FULL SIZED SHIP!

° I didn't know  forced perspective is part of animation, it seems like something for video production

° I think this article would be more related to video production than animation

° I think that that movie The Grind looks really cool

° What's the,release date for the movie?
