  • L'animation Stylisée
    Universite Paris 8 Master Creation Numerique parcours : Arts et Technologies de l'Image Virtuelle L’animation stylisée Clea Gonay Memoire de Master 2 2019 - 2020 1 résumé Le cinema d’animation est un medium propice a* l’abstraction du reel, a* la simplification des formes et du mouvement. Gra0ce a* un language visuel et une esthetique qui lui sont propre, l’animation stylisee reussit a* conserver le sens tout en amplifiant les emotions du spectateur. Pourquoi et comment realise t-on un film en animation stylisee ? En se basant sur la litterature disponible, mes experiences et une serie d’interviews realisees aupre*s d’acteurs de l’industrie, ce memoire propose une approche philosophique, anthropologique et technique des principes et codes de l’animation stylisee. Il cherche a* mettre en lumie*re les raisons qui poussent un realisateur a* choisir ce medium et explore les possibilites offertes par les outils disponibles a* travers des exemple d’oeuvres 2D, 3D et hybrides. Enfin, pour illustrer mon propos, j’y presente mes mises en pratiques realisees lors de mon etude du sujet. abstract Animation is a perfect medium to abstract reality and to simplify forms and movements. Thanks to its own visual language and aesthetical values, stylised animation conveys meaning as well as amplifies the spectator’s emotions. Why and how are stylized animated movies made ? Using available literature, my own experiences and a series of interviews made with people involved with the industry, this thesis takes a philosophical, anthropological and technical approach to the principles and codes of stylized animation. It highlights the reasons why a director would choose this route and explores the possibilities of the available tools while presenting related 2D, 3D and hybrid works.

  • “L'era Glaciale” (Ice Age )
    Gli eroi sotto zero dei blockbuster mondiali “L’era glaciale” (Ice Age) e “L’era glaciale 2 – Il disgelo” (Ice Age: The Meldown) sono tornati in un’avventura incredibile... destinata a fare storia. Scrat sta ancora cercando di catturare l’inafferrabile ghianda (e intanto forse troverà il vero amore); Manny ed Ellie attendono la nascita del loro cucciolo di mammuth; Sid il bradipo si mette nei guai quando decide di mettere su famiglia con alcune uova di dinosauro che ha trovato; Diego la tigre dai denti a sciabola si domanda se non si stia “rammollendo” ad andare in giro con i suoi amici. Il gruppo deve all’improvviso partire in missione per salvare lo sfortunato Sid e si avventura in un misterioso mondo sotterraneo, dove avvengono incontri ravvicinati con dinosauri, piante battagliere e altri animali feroci, e dove vive una donnola combattiva di nome Buck, orba di un occhio, sempre a caccia di dinosauri. L’ERA GLACIALE 3 – L’ALBA DEI DINOSAURI ha tutto ciò che il pubblico ha amato nei primi due film, ma la commedia di animazione è più ricca di azione e di effetti spettacolari, oltre ad essere (in molti casi) impreziosita dal 3‐D. I nostri amati eroi vivono un’avventura inedita e, al loro fianco, troviamo alcuni nuovi personaggi memorabili. Un’altra novità in questo terzo episodio dell’Era glaciale è un immenso e incredibile mondo sotterraneo popolato di dinosauri. Il lussureggiante ambiente, in netto contrasto con l’habitat invernale dei primi due film, fa apparire poca cosa la vastità del mondo di ghiaccio sovrastante.

    TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM COMPANY LIMITED PRODUCTION NOTES Release Date – 1 st July 2009 Certificate – TBC Running time – TBC [email protected] www.foxpressofficeuk.com www.fox.co.uk www.picselect.com The sub-zero heroes from the worldwide blockbusters “Ice Age” and “Ice Age: The Meltdown” are back, on an incredible adventure...for the ages. Scrat is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut (while, maybe, finding true love); Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth; Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift family after finding some dinosaur eggs; and Diego the saber-toothed tiger wonders if he’s growing too “soft” hanging with his pals. On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna run amok – and meet a relentless, one-eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck. ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS has everything audiences loved about the first two films, adding even more comedy, action, spectacular visuals – plus the movie magic of 3-D. Our beloved heroes live on, with some memorable new characters thrown into the “Ice Age” mix. Also new to the “Ice Age” franchise is an incredible and immense underground world populated by dinosaurs. The lush world provides a sharp contrast to the wintry environs of the first two “Ice Age” films, and dwarfs even the vastness of the above- ground Ice Age. It’s a land of danger, massive creatures, mammal-eating plants, a daredevil weasel, a wily romantic foil for Scrat, named Scratte – and areas with names like the Chasm of Death, and the Plates of Woe.

  • The Tale of Ferdinand, a Giant Bull Who Prefers Flowers to Fighting, Has
    The tale of Ferdinand, a giant bull who prefers flowers to fighting, has captured the hearts of millions since it was first told in the 1936 book “The Story of Ferdinand” by author Munro Leaf and illustrator Robert Lawson. A warm and charming take on how appearances can be deceptive (or, why you should never judge a bull by its cover…) the book’s message of love and acceptance has resonated for decades. Now, this holiday season, a new generation of moviegoers can enjoy a delightful CG-animated family film inspired by the classic story when 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios’ FERDINAND is released in US theaters on December 15. Directed by Academy Award nominee Carlos Saldanha, creator and director of the RIO series and director of many of the ICE AGE movies, FERDINAND centers on the adventures of a peace-loving bull (voiced by John Cena), who is adopted by a loving farmer and daughter. However, his idyllic life changes after he’s mistaken for a vicious beast and is taken away to the last place on earth he wants to be, a bull training camp. But Ferdinand is determined to get back home. Along the way, the kind-hearted bull makes many friends and changes the lives of those he meets. But there still one great obstacle he’ll have to overcome… in the film’s thrilling climactic scene, Ferdinand has to face the matador El Primero in a packed arena, but he valiantly stays true to his peaceful nature, and inspires all those around him.
