  • JALETOVA VENERA Stereoskopska 3D Animirana Skulptura
    UNIVERZITET UMETNOSTI U BEOGRADU Interdisciplinarne studije Digitalna umetnost Doktorski umetnički projekat: JALETOVA VENERA Stereoskopska 3D animirana skulptura autor: mr Igor Kekeljević mentor: mr Rastko Ćirić, redovni profesor Beograd, januar 2016. SAŽETAK Kratkometražni animirani film Jaletova Venera je inspirisan skulpturama Ljubodraga Jankovića ​ Jaleta, našeg poznatog slikara starije generacije (rođ. 1932) i profesora Fakulteta primenjenih umetnosti Univerziteta umetnosti u Beogradu. Od pedesetih godina prošlog veka bavi se crtežom, slikarstvom, grafikom i skulpturom. Jaletove skulpture prikazuju figure žena. Figure imaju čudesan šarm, dostojanstvenost i lepotu, u formi koja nije realistična, već redukovana na skup skladno komponovanih oblina i prostornih masa. Način stilizacije i jednostavnost formi ostvaruju utisak neočekivane monumentalnosti za dela manjih dimenzija. Na njima je vidljivo bogatstvo raznih stilskih uticaja, koji kao da obuhvataju celokupno iskustvo čovečanstva u predstavljanju ženskog tela u skulpturi, od paleolita, preko arhajske skulpture, renesanse, Pikasa, Mura, narodne umetnosti, a sve složeno u jedan autentičan autorski rukopis. U projektu Jaletova Venera, skulpture navedenog ​ ​ autora su prenesene u medij 3D animacije, sa ciljem da se potpunije razume ova oblikovna metoda animacije, ali i da se istraži odnos skulpture i 3D grafike, i uporede njihove sličnosti, razlike i uticaji. Teorijsko­istraživački rad u ovom projektu se zasniva, pre svega, na proučavanju literature i analizi primera. Osnovni teorijski

Outside of nursing, Anna plays the French horn in the Cedarville orchestra and is hoping to add a women’s ministry minor to her time here at CU. Analysis of the Paperman John Kahrs, known for his animation work in Tangled, Ratatouille, Incredibles, and Monsters Inc., purposefully directed the Disney short, Paperman, in a “stylized photorealism” to tell the story of a potential romance in which strangers have an abrupt initial encounter (Radish 2,7). Kahrs has hopped between Pixar and Disney animation productions (Radish 2). The techniques from each are shown through his stylistic choices to illustrate the story in an unfamiliar combination of varying techniques. The Paperman received an Annie Award for best short film and an Oscar in 2013 (Oatley 2,7).

  • 1 Skydance Media Names Animation Visionary John
    SKYDANCE MEDIA NAMES ANIMATION VISIONARY JOHN LASSETER HEAD OF SKYDANCE ANIMATION Santa Monica, CA – January 9, 2019 – John Lasseter has been named Head of Skydance Animation, it was announced today by David Ellison, Chief Executive Officer, Skydance Media. Lasseter, who will report directly to Ellison, will be based in Los Angeles and start later this month. “John is a singular creative and executive talent whose impact on the animation industry cannot be overstated,” said Ellison. “He was responsible for leading animation into the digital age, while telling incomparable stories that continue to inspire and entertain audiences around the globe.” Ellison continued: “And yet we did not enter into this decision lightly. John has acknowledged and apologized for his mistakes and, during the past year away from the workplace, has endeavored to address and reform them.” “We look forward to John bringing all of his creative talents, his experience managing large franchises, his renewed understanding of the responsibilities of leadership and his exuberance to Skydance as we continue to expand our animation efforts for the global marketplace.” Lasseter said: “I’m grateful to David and the Skydance team and know that I have been entrusted with an enormous responsibility. It is a distinct privilege that I will relish.” “I have spent the last year away from the industry in deep reflection, learning how my actions unintentionally made colleagues uncomfortable, which I deeply regret and apologize for. It has been humbling, but I believe it will make me a better leader.” Lasseter continued: “I want nothing more than the opportunity to return to my creative and entrepreneurial roots, to build and invent again.
