Dear Diary
So I've decided that I'm going to spend an hour a night working on personal projects of some sort. Whether it be animating, designing characters, story development, or learning MEL (just bought the book "Mel Scripting for Maya Animators" ) . I also plan to keep alittle journal at my work station at home so that I can record what I've done and see if down the road if I'm keeping up with what I'm wanting too. Just alittle something to keep me organized.
Animation Review: Madagascar
- I really enjoyed this film. The animation was superb in my opinion. I was glad to see the snappy motion on the characters. Alex's animation was very inspiring at the beginning of the film. I'm glad that Dreamworks kep the style all the way through the film. Definately a good job goes out to the animators on this project. It seemed a bit short to me though. I think there was alittle too much time spent in the Zoo and not enough in the wild. Also would have liked to have seen a better "jailbreak" sequence with Alex,Gloria, and Melmin getting out of the zoo to go rescue Marty. I felt that the film ended to abruptly and it felt like a forced ending. One thing that seemed to bother me for some reason was the Lemur King. Not his dialogue, but for some reason his hips bothered me. Either the model or the animation made the King's hips look wonky to me, not sure. I think I need to go see it once again. I had this teenage(?) couple sitting next to me that laughed at the most non-funny parts. And not just laughed, but you would think that they were at a comedy club listening to Chris Rock or Lewis Black with the way they were screaming the laughter and repeating the lines and saying "oh my god that's funny". VERY annoying and I was close to removing my shoe and tossing it in their general direction.
- Favorite part of the movie was the penguins. They made me laugh every moment they were on the screen. From the slapping of the humans, the "computer hacking", and Navigation to finally ended up where they wanted and giving the BEST LINE of the entire film. I'd like to see more of them. Maybe in the DvD extras? Please dreamworks :)
Well, thats it for this fine Monday. I'm off to point weight some characters for the game I'm working on. Hope you have a good monday. I should be updating further this week.
