Creativity is a phenomenon, in which an individual is able to bind imagination and reality into one, when applied to animation the boundaries of visual imagery are endless. An individual possesses the ability to create at the mind's will with the possibility of one day being able to affect millions globally. The film and gaming industries, now utilise the power of animation to its full effect, this is where I aim to belong, fulfilling my dream of being a 3D animator within either industries. Animation has always had a profound impact on my perception of the world. In childhood, I became engrossed in films such as Toy Story and Monsters Inc, I found myself examining everyday objects such as a kettle and wondering how that kettle could be visually personified and therefore unique. Gaming seemed to enhance my desire to explore the justification of such aspects; I played Kingdom Hearts which combined globally animated films and TV shows into its enchanting and complex storyline. I was truly captivated, it was not just the fact that the quality of 3D animation surpassed many games I had p...

...ent, intensity, and egoism of individualistic societies and the conformity and reflectiveness of collectivist societies inevitably play a part in the development of animation’s plotlines, characters, humor, and aesthetic styles. Nonetheless, like the two separate groups of people that these styles of animations reflect, there are naturally more similarities than contrasts. As our Westernized culture becomes a diverse melting pot, it is inevitable that Western and anime styles of animation build from and inspire one another. As Disney continues approaching an “illusion of life” aesthetic and as both grow to appeal to wider audiences to stay relevant, the future of each style of animation is capricious yet promising. As Walt said, “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
Unlike you and me, Buzz Lightyear wasn’t born in a day. In fact, the charismatic space cadet from Toy Story cherished by children everywhere was intricately designed on a computer screen by an army of animators. That adored astronaut is actually just a series of still images manipulated to create the illusion of movement.And it’s not just children’s movies either. Animators play integral, behind-the-scenes roles in action-packed blockbusters like Transformers, high-octane video games like Halo, trendy television commercials and much more. How would you like to be a part of such exciting projects on a daily basis?In such a specialized and competitive field, it’s important to be sure you’ve got the chops to succeed before investing your time

Walt Disney used his charming artistic expression, and took everyday experiences into account to construct unique characters that have intrigued people for half a century. For many years, movies were made silently, with human actors, but, “[…] Disney had grown tired of the combination of cartoons and live-action and longed to make all cartoon films […]” (Nardo 30). By moving on from the old way of creating movies, Disney artistically began to express his desires through his uses of animation, revolutionizing the genre of film to include animation. His passion for a new way to watch films fueled the cinematic industry. Disney deliberately worked to make the cinema a regular place for families to visit and enjoy, so he “[…] treated each subject with the inventive humor” (Fanning 40). Not satisfied with the standard performance of other moviemakers, Disney’s mind was set to use his captivation for films and artistic expression to create an esteemed pastime for many. During a u...
In society today, we are conditioned to believe certain sets of ideals. We use these ideals to interact and get along with the other people we surround ourselves with. These ideals are often the societal norms that form common ground amongst individuals. However, living life based off these basic and unchanging beliefs is not beneficial to humanity, nor does it make life any easier to live. In fact, holding on to the most accepted beliefs holds back society as a whole. Judith Halberstam, in her essay “Animating Revolt and Revolting Animation” challenges these societal norms through the analysis of animated movies and, in doing so, carves a path for a new way of thinking.
Around the 1930’s Walt Disney helped to set up drawing classes for his animators. The object of these classes was to teach the animators a new way to animate objects to make them more life like. The students studied the movements of the human figure and animals. They would play clips from live action movies over and over just to study the different aspects of the actions.
Artwork can be seen everywhere, and it is not restricted to just a museum or a theatre. It is found in the way a person dresses, the design of houses, or graffiti on buildings. The human mind, however, is even more common, with the seven billion people in this world that have it. The mind is unique to each individual and assists in the development of a distinctive human being. Similarly, there has never been two works of art that completely resemble one another throughout history. One of the main components of most admired artwork is originality, for the reason that people appreciate work that is different from others. For example, films such as Toy Story, The Matrix, and Avatar were critically acclaimed for their innovative concepts that were never seen
“Whenever someone hears the word ‘anime’ they immediately think of Japanese animation or in the very least Asian cartoons. Really, though the word ‘anime’ is derived form the word ‘animation’. And the definition of animation is the making of movies by filming a sequence of slightly varying drawings or models so that they appear to move and change when the sequence is shown.” (par. 1)

Animation is a visual technique that creates the illusion of motion, rather than recording motion through live action. The technique is used mainly for motion pictures. Animation can be created by illustrators, filmmakers, video makers, and computer specialists. Animation is most popular in creating cartoon movies. Advertisers also employ animation to develop commercials for television. In addition, producers of instructional films may use animation to help explain a difficult idea or one that could not be shown in live action. Animation can also be combined with live action in a movie. Many animators continue to make many drawings by hand. Since the mid-1980's, however, computer assistance combined with hand-drawn animation has become standard in many movie studios. These methods created such feature-length animated films as The Lion King (1994) and The Prince of Egypt (1998).
I really love to draw and imagining my own little world. Watching many animations has influenced me a lot. I learnt how people made those animals speak, how those lifeless dolls become alive, and how another dimensions of mythical creatures can be created. Since then, I know that I wanted to do this for my whole life. It has inspired me to do something that I love as a career. Imagine that you are supporting your financial needs by doing something that you love. It has been my dream since a little kid to put my imagination to life.
Animations are a series of drawings, computer graphics, or photographs of objects, like puppets and models, which are different from each to create a variety of entertainment for the audiences. Animations are what brings excitement and mystery, hooking the audience in through interest. It is a form of some sort of “magic” where things that aren’t real but from the imagination comes to life in front of people who live these mundane, ordinary lives, adding color to the eyes and mind. The creators of such amazing arts and creation are animators.
All throughout time people have used their imaginative minds to express some form of art, whether it be painting, drawing, sculpture, and dance, theatre, music or technology, this has happened all around the world. Furthermore, I think that the youth of the world have the biggest imagination because everything to them is new and they can’t help but imagine “what if” or “how”. Therefor that’s the power of imagination, and preferably for me I use it for art. Art to me is almost like an escape from everything negative in my life. Many say that art is beauty, and we say beauty ...
