The Creation of Frames and Rendering The evolution of animation is a topic I passionately connect to. I have enjoyed animation ever since I was a child, and it provides a comforting feeling to me. Stop-motion animation uses methods that are tedious and time-consuming, while computer animation is less technical and costly. Another way of distinguishing the two forms of animation is physical vs. virtual; traditional animation uses physical materials and activities, while computer animation uses virtual
Mistreating animals is the only thing that can come from animal testing, or most think that way. Animals should not be use for testing medical treatments, because the animals could be hurt or killed from it, they’re bodies can be deformed or changed, and people only see them as experiments and not living things. Animals for testing are described as ‘’any live or dead dog, cat, monkey, guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, or other warm blooded animals." That doesn’t add birds, rats and mice, cold-blooded
On June 20th, 1969, Apollo 11 made history by being the first ever successful lunar landing ever. It took many years to accomplish this landmark in history. It was many people’s dreams, but very few thought it could ever become a reality. In October, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first satellite, named Sputnik, to be hurled into orbit around the Earth. Sputnik was actually about the size of a beach ball, and sent pointless signals back to earth, but it had a huge affect on people around the
Laika is the name of the first dog sent to orbit space. She was a stray dog found almost a week before the rocket was set to launch to outer space. Laika was chosen to be launched because of her calm demeanor and small stature. On November 3 1957, Laika was launched on a one-way trip to outer space, by reason of the technology at reach was not advanced enough to bring her back home. This launch was done to measure the safety of space travel for humans. Laika was a very nice and a great dog; a staff
sealed the deal and got the US the victory was that they had the first man to land on the moon and also the first man to step foot on the moon. The first achievement that I am going to talk about is the first animal to get into space. Her name was Laika and she was a homeless dog found on the streets of russia. Right as she was found she was being trained and she was getting ready to get launched into space. She was aboard Sputnik 2 and she was launched on November 1957. Many people thought this was
space. Animals are used for many things but the one thing they shouldn't be used for is testing. Testing animals and sending them to space can decrease the species and have a better change at extinction. The first dog, Laika, that went to space and died. According to BBC NEWS, Laika died of "overheating and panic a few hours after the mission started." Animals are needed to help lots of people around the world. For example, dogs would guide blind people and they help police search for missing people
Animal Testing Paper Evidence of animal testing can be found in greek writing as early as 500 B.C. Clearly showing that animal testing has been around for a long time, but only recently has it become a topic of real concern. Used for the purpose of developing medical treatments that could one day benefit humankind, determine the toxicity of medications (usually in at least two animal species), and to check the safety of products that are destined for human use. http://animal-testing.procon.org/ Animal
Phil Knight is a man who just wanted to give back to his community and help out however he could. He was never someone who was unfair, greedy, or selfish but a selfless and fair man who wanted the best for everyone.

could send satellites into space then they could posses the power to send ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons. Then, the Soviets raised the bar by sending Laika, the first living thing in space with a much heavier payload on November 3rd. Laika, meaning “barker” in Russian, was a stray mutt that was only three years old when she went to space. Laika was sent to space in a restrictive spacecraft that only had enough room... ... middle of paper ... ... they complete certification and at least one
merging of stop motion and CGI in order to make the animation process faster and easier to work with. Laybourne also goes into explanations of different software which are used for this process. I think this book will be very useful while I’m discussing Laika in my research project. Thomas, F. & Johnston, O., 1981. The Illusion of Life Disney Animation. New York City: Abbeville Press. I believe that this book will be extremely useful when discussing the history of animation and when mentioning the many
had gone through many techonological devlepopletmsn and advanmetns compared to the original Sputnik 1. The Sputnik 2 had the capability and capacity to hold a passenger! Although it wasn’t a human passenger they were able to send a living dog named Laika into orbit as well. This satellite was measured with a 13 feet capsule with around 6.6 feet as the base diameter. It traveled in orbit for 162 days in which the satellite was was able to complete approximations 2000 orbits. Since the Sputnik 2 was
After World War II both the United States and the Soviet Union realized how important rocket research would be to the military. So they each hired the top rocket scientists from Germany to help with their research. After they hired them both sides were making a lot of progress. The Space Race began in 1955 when the Americans announced that they would start launching satellites into orbit. The Soviets took the US announcement as a challenge and established a group whose goal was to beat the US in
common template used by a broad category of tales that involve a protagonist hero who goes on an adventure, overcomes an ordeal, and comes back home rewarded and changed. Coraline, a 2009 American 3D stop motion dark fantasy horror film produced by Laika, follows much of the same template created almost 11 centuries ago. All stages of the heroes journey can be picked out of Coraline beginning with the ordinary world. The ordinary world for Coraline is an extremely bland place. It consists of two
The Race to Space The tension that existed between the U.S. and Russia during the years after WWII was not only a time that both countries patiently tried to keep the world from another war, but was also a time of great rivalry in the exploration of space. As both counties diligently experimented with plans for creating a way to get into the vastness of space, spies on both sides were already in place to steal those ideas. And so the space race begun. Both countries wanted to be the first
with computers and CGI, stop-motion is alive and well. It is an art form, to its very core, that can be labeled as a true labor of love because of the sheer amount hard work, perseverance, and detail that goes into it. Biography 1. Adams, A.L.

Since the launch of Sputnik 1, Russia and America continually compete against one another in the exploration of space. The idea of exploring a new frontier intrigued the citizens of both countries. The race to achieve the first successful launch into space created the institution of two independent space programs, the Soviet Space Program and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Since their origins, the agencies contrasted in mission procedures, construction, and view of space’s
The mood and attitude of Samuel Beckett’s 1957 play, Endgame, are reflective of the year of its conception. The history that reflects directly on the play itself is worth sole attention. In that year, the world was a mixed rush of Cold War fear, existential reason, and race to accomplishment (Garraty 307). Countries either held a highlighted concern with present wartime/possibility of war, or involvement with the then sprouting movement of Existentialism. The then “absurdist theater” reflected the
October 4, Sputnik which is the first artificial satellite was launched into space (document F). The poster is from Fatherland, it's from a race of stars. Therefore more about who went to space on Nov. 3, 1957, the first dog goes to space his name was Laika. After that in 1961 April 12, the first astronaut man named Cosmonaut Yuri. It was two years since the first guy became into an astronaut that in 1963 of June 16, Valentina Tereshkova the first woman goes to
This storyboard features frames taken from the 1985 film My Life as a Dog, directed by Lasse Hallström. I chose this sequence because I felt that it encapsulated much of the film’s complex story, as well as its themes of isolation and lonesomeness, into a short yet conscience passage spanning a variety of temporal and spatial locations. The film’s main character is featured at both his lowest and highest points during these few short minutes, and his personal reflection and recollection results in
