    Ji Woon Kim Rhetoric 105 Professor Mary Hays 15 March 2016 Loss of Original Intention: Budget for Art or Art for Money? A Review of Alter Ego by Laurence Green, mainly focusing on the movie Ryan by Chris Landreth *Blue-Revised As the title of the movie suggests, it is all about Ryan, who was a notable animator and an Oscar nominee back in 60’s and early 70’s, contributing greatly to moving arts. This movie was made by Chris Landreth, who got interested in him after he got to know that a big figure in animation industry was now living in a street in Montreal. Interestingly, the movie is based on an actual interview, and it is dubbed within the animation. This actually made the movie realistic, as we can hear real voices of the two animators. However, the notable point of the movie is that all characters in the animation have distorted looks. The reason is because Chris wanted to show psychological status through physical attributes. Chris uses surreal CG imagery to show the psychology of each character from his technique called “Psychorealism”(Chris Landreth). The use of “psychedelic CG animation” elucidated the life and unstable mind of the legendary animator, Ryan Larkin. In the movie, their relationship was beyond one-way sympathy toward the wrecked life of Chris’s hero, Ryan. Especially, it shows through the embodiment of “colorful chains” around both of them after the success in their career. When Ryan achieved the climax of his career with “Walking” and “Street Musique,” colorful chains wraps around his face.

  • Ten Years Supporting, Delivering & Promoting the Whole Spectrum of Animation
    TEN YEARS SUPPORTING, DELIVERING & PROMOTING THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF ANIMATION Directors Message Wow – we made it to our 10th anniversary!! Who would have thought it? From very humble beginnings – our first festival in 2004 screened at the now-defunct Rupert Street Cinema in Piccadilly – to LIAF 2013, 10 days at 3 different venues. We have survived - sort of. Over 10 years we’ve received more than 12,000 entries, screened more than 2,500 films, and had some of the most talented animators in the world come and hang out with us. And we’ve had a ball on the way. It’s time to blow our own trumpet. As well as being the largest festival of it’s kind in the UK in terms of films and programmes screened, we have a substantial touring component and we run satellite events all year-round. We’ve screened at festivals, cinemas, theatres and colleges all around the world and in the UK and hopefully we have spread the word that animation is a valid artform that is only limited by the animator’s imagination. In short, our maxim is that in animation anything can happen. Long may this be. There are far too may people to thank here (hopefully you know who you are) but the guidance and immense work-rate of my co-Director Malcolm Turner has to be acknowledged. Way back when in our ground zero - actually in the year 1999 - I still vividly recall that very first meeting Malcolm and I had with our then-colleague Susi Allender in the back garden of our Melbourne flat.

  • Director: Chris Landreth Producers: Steven Hoban (Copper Heart
    Ryan Director: Chris Landreth Producers: Steven Hoban (Copper Heart), Mark Smith (Copper Heart), Marcy Page (NFB) A Copper Heart Entertainment production in co-production with the National Film Board of Canada In association with Seneca College – Animation Arts Centre Suggested User’s Guide Grade 11 & Grade 12, CEGEP (Quebec) THE FILM A gentleman panhandler. One of the pioneers of Canadian animation. Oscar® nominee. Poor beggar. An artist unable to create. God observing the world. Fallen angel. Arrogant. Shy. Broken. Not destroyed. Ryan, directed by Chris Landreth, is based on the life of Canadian animator Ryan Larkin. Thirty years ago, at the National Film Board of Canada, Ryan produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. Today, Ryan lives on welfare and panhandles for spare change in downtown Montreal. How could such an artistic genius follow this path? In Ryan we hear the voice of Ryan Larkin and people who have known him, but these voices speak through strange, twisted, broken and disembodied 3D generated characters... people whose appearances are bizarre, humorous or disturbing. Although incredibly realistic and detailed, Ryan was created not with the use of rotoscoping or motion capture...but instead from an original, personal, hand animated three-dimensional world which Landreth calls 'psychological realism'. Themes for discussion 1. Many films are technically superb, while others boast a strong story? Rarely does a film come along that manages to marry technique and story as well as Ryan. How do Landreth and his team manage to bridge the gap between animation and documentary while animating a static conversation? What techniques does Landreth use to capture the attention of the audience and maintain audience interest throughout the film? 2.

  • Festival Runway, Limp Into the Air (Barely Missing the Trees) and Splutter up Into the Clouds
    1 DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Malcolm Turner Greetings to fans, first-timers and the animatedly curious. DIRECTOR Despite the crazed improbability of it all, MIAF is still here doing its thing. It certainly suffers from the so-called ‘bumble bee’ syndrome. That is to say, on paper there’s no way Melbourne International you can prove it will fly. Somehow though, Air MIAF has found a way to bump down the Animation Festival runway, limp into the air (barely missing the trees) and splutter up into the clouds. Dunno how we do it, to be honest. It certainly wouldn’t happen without the support of ACMI, Screen Australia and each and every one of the sponsors. Nor would it happen without the core crew who give up a great deal of their time and varying slivers of their sanity to make this thing work. And it definitely wouldn’t happen without the filmmakers. It surprises alot of people (including me sometimes) just how many short animated films are being made. We get over 2,000 entries every year and the vast majority of them are made for the simple reason that somebody has felt compelled to create them – in much the same way that a painter feels compelled to paint a picture or a playwright feels compelled to create an imaginary universe, populated with a fictional tribe who have something on their mind they want to share. Animation, as a technological achievement, surrounds us and is woven into so many elements of our daily lives. It is a workhorse technology that is pressed into service by any number of plump jockeys who vie for our scarce and shattered attentions as we go through our day.

Quase sempre apresenta a valorização de aspectos subjetivos das situações a partir da representação das personagens e dos cenários. Temos duas possibilidades de documentário animado: um dos mais comuns utiliza imagens live action mais a animação, e o segundo, o mais radical, apresenta uma animação como resultado final.
