Creature Comfort-Fiche Élève CREATURE COMFORT Nick Park 1989 BEFORE WATCHING 1° Nick Park's biography: Nick became interested in animation as a child and started making films in his parents' attic at the age of 13. He went on to earn a BA in Communication Arts at Sheffield Art School in 1980, before moving on to the National Film & Television School in Beaconsfield, England. When there, he began working on " A Grand Day Out ," (1989) which marked the introduction of Wallace & Gromit. In February 1985, Park joined Aardman where he completed the film. He then directed " Creature Comforts " (1989). Nick Park has worked for years with the Aardman Animation Production, since his degree in animation and his first Wallace and Gromit first film A Grand Day Out . All his animation films are made with plasticine and he has become very famous with his hilarious and technically perfect films. He is most famous for this first Wallace and Gromit film and its two sequels The Wrong Trousers (1993)and A Close Shave (1995) but he has also done many short cartoons and advertisement. The three films he did in England feature his favourite heroes Wallace (a man) and Gromit (a dog) and they all won oscar in Hollywood. He became so famous worldwide that Steven Spielberg asked him to do a real film. This is how Nick Park got to work on the Chicken Run project (2000), an hilarious remake of the famous Great Escap e by John Sturges (1963) ( English and American prisoners in a Nazi camp trying to escape) with hens and a rooster. 2. Creature Comforts (1989): In your opinion this cartoon could deal with: a. humans compared to animals b. b. animals living a human life c. animals'ways of living in nature d. animals'ways of living in a zoo e. aliens from a different planet f. ways of living of Mars's inhabitants - 1 - CREATURE COMFORT Nick Park 1989 Creature Comforts shows interviews in an English Zoo, giving the animals a chance to talk about life behind bars: Used to open spaces and sunnier climates, they comment on accommodation, diet and, of course, the English weather. Combining humor with more serious overtones about zoo life, the short film earned Aardman its first Oscar for Best Animated Short Subject in 1989, and also became the model for a slew of advertisements Aardman created for the British Electricity Association and Chevron.Creature Comforts was also the first Aardman film to feature the talents of animator Nick Park, the man behind the Wallace and Gromit films that followed.

ABOUT If we could, we’d give it a thumbs up. FREDRICK - Adopted May 2015 CLOVER - Adopted May 2015 PAWS CHICAGO MISSION IS TO BUILD NO KILL COMMUNITIES – STARTING WITH A NO KILL CHICAGO – WHERE PETS ARE NO LONGER DESTROYED JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE HOMELESS. Since our founding in 1997, a year in which a staggering 42,561 dogs and cats were killed in Chicago, the number of homeless dogs and cats euthanized annually has dropped significantly, down 77 percent by 2014. But this drop does not mean our work is done: In 2014, 9,817 animals were still killed in Chicago and nearly 60,000 animals were killed in the state of Illinois. When will Chicago be considered a No Kill city? When we are saving every healthy and treatable animal. To reach that goal, PAWS Chicago is implementing a comprehensive No Kill model to build a No Kill Chicago. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HEALTH & BEHAVIOR Community is at the core of everything we do. Engaging the public Part of the commitment to guaranteeing life for all PAWS pets is in the cause of homeless animals and providing them with the keeping them happy, healthy and continually moving toward new information to make lifesaving choices, like adoption and spay/neuter, loving homes. In order to achieve this goal, we have built a is what has brought about such transformation in our 17 years.

  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • Steve's Film Festival Reviews for 2005
    Steve’s Film Festival Reviews for 2005 By Steve Munro Ratings * I stayed to the bitter end (but probably shouldn’t have) ** Maybe worth seeing once *** Recommended **** First rate ***** Best of the festival The reviews are arranged in the order of viewing. Festival Main Title From the poster, a pair of hands making a square frame, I had expected something rather boring, but this year’s title was a joy to watch 33 times over. A series of images, all made from hands, represents each of the aspects of the Film Festival including its library, the Sprockets Children’s festival and the out-of-town film circuit. One night, as I waved to a friend who was looking for me in the house as this sequence ran, I realized that these are also the hands that shoot up in front of a screen to make pictures. A lovely 30th anniversary piece. Universal Studios’ salute to the volunteers is partly recycled from years past, and been updated with the new NBC/Universal logo. All the same, it drew applause at each viewing right up to the end, with especially lusty cheers on the last day. Every screening began with an exhortation to turn off cell phones and not to photograph the film. The less said about this trailer, sponsored by Motorola, the better. It got very tiring by the third viewing. (Several of my screenings had security folk scanning the audience for video pirates, but nobody was hauled out of any theatre and fed to the dogs. A shame as this would have been at least as entertaining as the onscreen action for a few flicks.) Visa Trailers Times are getting tough.

  • ASIFA 50 on 50” (Aka “ASIFA 51 on 51”) – the Contest
    “ASIFA 50 on 50” (aka “ASIFA 51 on 51”) – the contest th inspired by the 50 anniversary of International Animated Film Association (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation – ASIFA) This year, a significant group of artists, producers, festival directors, animation critics and viewers can th celebrate the 50 anniversary of the creation of the International Animated Film Association (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation – ASIFA), an organization founded by Norman Mc Laren and other exceptional creators in order to unite animation artists from all around the world. th The head of the Association chose 2010 to be the year in which the 50 anniversary is celebrated. As people responsible for the International Etiuda&Anima Film Festival, which is the oldest Polish festival devoted to film education and international animation, we have decided to hold a competition together with ASIFA Poland. The international contest called “ASIFA 50 on 50” focuses on creating a list of 50 best animated shorts created during the 50 years that the Association has been active. The idea was welcomed by the ASIFA and honorary Patronage was provided by the Association President, Mr Nelson Shin from Korea, and Mr Raoul Servais from Belgium, the Honorary President of the celebration. The story is worth remembering. In the 1984, the ASIFA Hollywood decided to celebrate the Los Angeles Olympics together with the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and conducted the famous “Champions of Animation” poll. The idea first occurred to the late Fini Littlejohn, an ASIFA Hollywood member, designer and illustrator working for the Disney Studios.
