“Treasure Planet” 2002
One of my favorite lines from the film.
Re-posting some of my favorites all month.

There’s a bearded Australian folk-rock band called “The Beards” and they only sing songs about beards.
My life is better for this.
Music video for “Got Me a Beard” taken from The Beards third album “HAVING A BEARD IS THE NEW NOT HAVING A BEARD” available on itunes…

Well this is just about the greatest music video ever.

An Anon requested some turnaround sheets of the characters, so here’s the first batch!
(Also, if Titmouse asks me to take any of these sheets down, then I’ll gladly do so. I wouldn’t want anyone getting in trouble for me stupidly posting these sheets on a major social networking site.
So that means grab ‘em while you still can, tumblr.)

Nemo (1984 Pilot) - Directed by Studio Ghibli’s Yoshifumi Kondô
This short was a test for the later feature length film Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. According to Wikipedia, at least three pilot films were made before the actual feature film. This appears to be the first, back when Studio Ghibli was more heavily involved on the project
Holy shit.
I will never get over how good the animation in this is. I mean, wow. The Nemo film is just as visually stunning, but the hacked voice over and severe story and pacing problems still irk me. They had a lot of problems when making it so I understand why it happened, but it still knocks it down the awesome-ometer a few pegs.
This, on the other hand, is just perfection. Cohesive, fluid, succinct. Do yourself a favour and press play.

So this is by the guy I saw yesterday.
I can’t believe I might get to work with this genius if I play my cards right you have no idea how excited I am about that aaaaaaa.
Okay, well to explain the linetest business I’ll chuck up a better example of one; a linetest is a rough pass of the animation. This is done on paper and shot under a camera, ye olde style, but these days there are programs to help you organize the frames instead of having to wait for the film to be developed- which you had to do before the digital era. Some days I am grateful for having a computer to punch me in the face.
Anyway, at this stage you just have the rough layout if any background, and usually you don’t have sound either unless you’re doing lip sync, as with this example. If you can see the little boxes and lines in the right hand corner, those are notes the animator makes to explain where inbetweens and breakdowns have to go- but that’s another story.
As for the what the heck is that thing questions- you’re going to find out.
Relatively soon.
