The Conductor

This was last week and it was fun, all capitals. We got to animate Danny from 'Cats Don't Dance' (a wonderful movie, you should see if you haven't already) conducting a piece of classical music. There were three excerpts to choose from - I chose a bit from Verdi's Aida.

It was a fun week, though it went up and down a lot. I got stuck on little things a couple times which was toiugh, but overall, this was a great week. I mean, it was the first time we got to use sound. Oh, and we were encouraged to try out using socalled 'smears' whenever we could. These drawings would only be shown for one frame and could be a severely stretched drawing or several drawings in one. It's basically a broad/quick movement confined to a single drawing - FUN!
