    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.

Content areas include media and techniques, history and culture, criticism and appreciation, and design. Four core units present fundamental art knowledge through themes based on self and environmental exploration. Media and techniques used include drawing, collage, sculpture and ceramics. Four secondary units are enrichment oriented. Maskmaking expands on self-exploration by examining different faces humans present to establish identity and communication. Mass media introduces students to concepts of advertisement communication. Differences between need and want are explored. Landscape is studied as interpretations of environment as seen, remembered, or imagined. Investigation of the future allows for exploration of various scenarios with a wide variety of materials. The teaching method employed is problem solving/inquiry. Idea journals and portfolios are identified and used as evaluation tools. Appendices and bibliographies are included.

The most refreshing element of McKenna’s film is the complexity of his characters, more specifically Marie Brassard who was amazing as Jeannette. This middle-aged woman was given more power and freedom to explore all types of relationships within the film, unlike films where we would normally see a woman of this age for a blink of a second. McKenna’s choice of casting such a strong lead pays off with depth to the plot and this film will not disappoint.
