  • Teoretický Cyklus
    Dru mu Ani NICHOLA DOBSON (UK) – “– ” Norman McLaren was one of the most innovative animators of the 20th century and is hailed around the world for his advances in animation and experimental film. He developed new techniques for creating moving images combining a love of dance and music with a distinctive animation process. Despite being one of the most oft quoted animators, when discussing what animation is, he is often missed out of the field of film and animation history. There have been very few publications dedicated to the history of the man and his work and this book seeks to address this omission of a vital part of animation and film history. Where there has been a focus, it has been concentrated on his work as the founder of the animation department of the National Film Board of Canada. Though McLaren gained citizenship in 1952, it is generally forgotten that he was Scottish by birth, and indeed shared a hometown and personal connection with the celebrated documentary maker John Grierson. This is a relationship which will be investigated throughout the project, as well as many of the collaborations which McLaren participated in throughout his career. With a view to the centenary of Scotland’s most famous animator in 2014, the project will examine his legacy by focusing on the influences in McLaren’s life, in terms of people, geography, politics and the arts, as well as those he influenced. With direct reference to McLaren’s personal correspondence (much of which has been previously unavailable), the project will consider his life and work, largely in his own words.

  • LAMORINDA WEEKLY | 'The Boxtrolls'
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | 'The Boxtrolls' Published October 8th, 2014 'The Boxtrolls' By Derek Zemrak "The Boxtrolls" comes from the small yet very impressive animation studio, Laika Entertainment based in Hillsboro, Ore. Laika is not a household name like Pixar or Disney but they have produced some of the most imaginative, original, creative and inventive animated films in recent years, including the two Oscar-nominated films "Coraline" in 2009 and "ParaNorman" in 2012. "Coraline" was beaten by "UP" and "ParaNorman" lost to "Brave," which was a disappointment. Now comes "The Boxtrolls," a less dark film then Laika's previous movies. The story is about an orphan boy, Eggs, who is raised underground in the town of Cheesebridge by a group of trash collecting cave dwellers - the Boxtrolls. Isaac Hempstead Wright, Eggs voice, is the talented young 15-year- Eleven-year-old Eggs (voiced by Isaac old from "Game of Thrones," and he must save his Hempstead Wright) swings into trouble when family, the Boxtrolls from the evil exterminator he tries to rescue a Boxtroll friend in Laika Archibald Snatcher (Sir Ben Kingsley "Schindler's and Focus Features' family event movie "The List"). Eggs is assisted by the local wealthy girl Boxtrolls." Image provided Winnie (Elle Fanning, "Maleficent"). "The Boxtrolls" is based on the 544-page illustrated novel, "Here Be Monsters!" by author Alan Snow. It is not as solid a film as "Coraline," but I do see another Oscar nomination this year. Who knows - the third time may be a charm. As with Laika's previous films, it is the stunning visuals that makes "The Boxtrolls" stand out from other animated movies and the leader of stop-motion animation.

  • Materials and Movement in Stop Motion Animation
    MATERIALS AND MOVEMENT IN STOP MOTION ANIMATION Thomas Steven Fyfe Abertay University School of Arts, Media and Computer Games APRIL 2016 Abertay University Declaration Author: Thomas Steven Fyfe Title: Materials and Movement in Stop Motion Animation Qualification sought: BA (Hons) Computer Arts Year: 2016 I. I certify that the above mentioned project is my original work II. I agree that this dissertation may be reproduced, stored or transmitted, in any form and by any means without the prior written consent of the undersigned. Signature ………………………………………………………………………………………………… Date …………………………………………………………………………………………………29/04/2016 ……… i ABSTRACT Stop motion animation first evolved from the visual effects in live action filmmaking. Stopping the camera to move, add or remove something created an illusion that fooled the audience into seeing something possess its own motion. Early animations often considered as performances of visual trickery with an emphasis on movement. Animation has evolved over the last century from its early beginnings as trick films, developing as a central element to live action visual effects in the first few decades of the 20th century and as a form of animation in its own right. Throughout this evolution, stop motion has developed to utilise clay models and complex puppets in addition to everyday objects as a means to tell rich and compelling stories. With the rise of computer generated imagery (CGI), stop motion is no longer used as often for visual effects. However it continues to be explored for its visual qualities and artistic possibilities in feature films and animated shorts and these qualities help to make the case for the longevity of stop motion for years to come.

  • VES Awards: 'Apes' Wins Top Live-Action Movie Prize; 'Big Hero 6′ Leads All with Five Nods
    VES Awards: 'Apes' Wins Top Live-Action Movie Prize; 'Big Hero 6′ Leads All With Five Nods By Erik Pedersen and David Bloom February 4, 201510:38pm Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes took home the top film prize tonight at the 13th annual VES Awards. The VFX team of Joe Letteri (right), Ryan Stafford, Matt Kutcher, Dan Lemmon, Hannah Blanchini picked up the trophy for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects-Driven Photoreal/Live Action Feature Motion Picture during the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton. RELATED VES Awards 2015: Complete Winners List The win puts director Matt Reeves’ Apes squarely in Oscar’s cross hairs as the VES Awards has predicted the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects 10 times in its 13-year history. Interesting to note: One of the years they didn’t match up was in 2011, when Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes took the VES Award but Hugo snared the Oscar. Letteri also was nominated for his team’s work on The Hobbit: Battle Of The Five Armies. But the biggest winner by far tonight was Walt Disney Animation Studios’Big Hero 6. Coming in tied for the most nominations with five, the big squishy robot won them all, including Animation in an Animated Feature Motion Picture. Disney’s Imagineers also won for their Ratatouille ride at the company’s Paris theme park. It’s a substantial consolation after winning just once at last week’s Annie Awards, for Animated Effects in an Animated Production. The Boxtrolls from Laika also had five nominations but went home empty-handed.

    Laika @ 10: Meet the ‘Laikans’ Variety Staff COURTESY OF LAIKA ANIMATION STUDIO DECEMBER 15, 2015 | 06:00AM PT Four of the artists behind Laika's unique look Chris Butler (pictured far left) Writer & Head of Story, ‘Kubo and the Two Strings’ Chris Butler still has a drawing he made of an elephant when he was a 2-year-old in Liverpool. “My parents were astounded because I drew the legs in perspective,” laughs the Laika story guru, who started out in 2D animation, only to be seduced by stop-motion while working on Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride.” “That was a big learning experience for me because it made me think like a filmmaker for the first time. It wasn’t so much whatever I can draw; it was, ‘Where can we put the camera?’ ” He went on to co-direct Laika’s 2012 “ParaNorman,” based on an original script — a supernaturally tinged, small-town empathy fable he cooked up while working as the storyboard supervisor on “Coraline.” His next script for Laika is also an original: “Kubo and the Two Strings,” which incorporates his love for mythic pics like “Clash of the Titans.” “It seemed like here is an opportunity to have these grand epic battles with giant monsters,” he says. Chris is represented by attorney Rob Szymanski at Eclipse Law. — Peter Debruge Deborah Cook (pictured second from left) Costume Designer Deborah Cook says it was a “happy accident” that she wound up creating costumes for stop motion. As a sculpture student in London she created upholstered art pieces with wood and metal armatures.
