What is a storyboard?

Discuss how they are used in animation- what is their purpose?

Story boards are used to layout a plan of how an animation is constructed into a episode, movie or a possible short film.

Storyboards also tell a story as it progresses visually not just in text and context of what is happening threw the writing.

I would personally use a storyboard to make my own draft or drafts on a story/animation, there simple and easy to understand and read out to understand the intent of the artist and the tail they wish to tell, in my own experience I can say that I like how free a storyboard format is with what you want to create as its not hard to remake what you have done from other drafts as you can lways use them as a reference piece.

Rick and Morty

Discuss the art style and use of colour- do you like it, discuss the character designs, specifically the weird pupils in their eyes.

Rick and Morty has a different way of aporching on how a cartoon can look but most backgrounds are overwhelming and bursting though with loads of weird and wonderful things and creatures.

The backgrounds in Rick and Morty are dull incomparason the the characters as they are the main focus of the story, they are normally moving at a fast pace in Rick and Morty so there normally inset a lot of time to look around but pause an episode at anytime and

Review Bojack Horseman -

"The story/animation style (or both) and then talk about Lisa Hanawalts character design illustrations- she created the characters in Bojack."

BoJack horseman is a Netflix original show about a former sitcom star attempting to comeback to the spotlight whilst dealing with his addictions, anxiety and depression.

BoJack Horseman is a anthropomorphic horse who continually tried to suppress the pain of his previous bad behavior and actions with alcohol and pertencherly other substances.

Bojack Horseman is know now as a resentful drunk and a player or playboy that will have a new woman every week or even every day.

his bad habits have led to a bad public image that he wants to restore but he keeps making it worse due to his poor outlook on life, his reactions to his surrounding's and the antics he keep's getting into constantly strips him of any dignity / respect that he has left hence he has a poor reputation and public image. ( you could say he now lives in the shadow of his former stardom or a shadow of his former self. )

Art style and animation.

The art style in Bojack Horseman is unique by todays animation standers but there are many shows that shear a resemblance to BoJack horseman such as, F is for family, Paradise PD, Big Mouth, Rick and Morty, Disenchantment, Tuka and Bertie and many many more.

BoJack Horseman and Tuca & Berty both shear the same art style as there made by the same animators but otherwise I love the way it makes the show standout in a genre of animated shows that all then to look the same with very simple animation styling but deep story lines that tend to have a lot of depth.

Research: Foods that have changed colour to represent a character or brand. 

When I think of a food that is influenced by pop culture I think of Homer Simpson donuts, I have seen real life aduptations of this classic sugary ring that homer loves to indulge in such as or like the picture I chose the represent this topic.

"The Devil and Homer Simpson"

"However, before Homer finishes the donut, he realizes that Ned will not be able to have his soul if he does not eat all of the donut and keeps the final piece in the refrigerator. "

This is referring to the episode where homer is sent to hell by "The Devel" ned Flanders for his greed and gluttony.

Although the donuts look good I don't think I would sell my sole just to eat one of these classic donuts that we love to see within the Simpsons, but on the other hand I would happy eat one as they look really good and inviting (most likely because its cartoon food but I digress.) along as I don't accidentally sell my sole for one.

The Dark Crystal (1982)

The Dark Crystal a Jim Henson creation was a significant film in the 1980s because it was the first film to only use puppets in its production, others before it had used puppets but in addition to human characters. The production of the Dark Crystal was complex due to the extent to which puppets were used, Brian Froud was the conceptual designer and created races and creatures that although were based on nature, were completely new.

Early Skeksis design by Brian Froud:

Skeksis were the most complex characters in the Dark Crystal. Most of the work on the Skeksis puppets was done by Lyle Conway, each Skeksis puppet took 5 people to operate. The Skeksis’s robes were designed to reflect their status and included silk, feathers, velvet and lace. The Skeksis were the villainous creatures and were based on vultures, which you can see from their beak like faces and hunchbacks, they also had porcupine backs making them look sinister. The Dark Crystal and Why 80s Nostalgia Can Be Good | The Film Magazine (thefilmagazine.com). Jim Henson was inspired by an image of crocodiles living in a castle from a 1975 edition of Lewis Carroll’s The Pig Tale. This reptile influence also helps to create a sinister look for the Skeksis puppets.

This sketch by Brian Froud would have been useful in the design of the Skeksis as it helps to show the bird like features of the Skeksis hand and the webbing between the fingers.

This would be a good concept art sheet because it shows how the Skeksis were made of up different real world animals, e.g., birds, reptiles etc. The Skeksis also had to look similar to the counterparts the Mystics or urRu, there skulls were a similar shape and size although the Skeksis was pointer and the Mystics rounder. The Mystics or urRu were more mammal in design and had four arms and two legs. They had long necks and thick grey hair. The Mystics were the good counterparts of the evil Skeksis.

For these characters Jim Henson was inspired by Brian Froud’s trolls in The Land of Froud and Once upon a time. For the puppeteers these were the most difficult characters to perform because of their stooped posture.

The Mystics had rune symbols on their skin to represent their link with nature. Gelfling were feared by the Skeksis as a prophecy suggested that they would be the key to the end of Skeksis rule, so they exterminated almost all of them. Two key characters in the Dark Crystal were Gelfling who had escaped capture by the Skeksis, Jen and Kira.

Female Gelfling have wings but the males do not. Gelfling can also be seen to be inspired by nature as they are highly adaptable to different environments like animals, the Drenchen Gelfling have gills to survive underwater, the Grottan Gelfling have night vision and the Fireling Gelfling can survive great heat.

Aughra, an ancient female character, has horns which symbolise goddess like status and shamanism.

Noah’s Ark

The biblical story of Noah’s Ark is in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. God tells Noah that he is going to destroy ‘all flesh’ (Genesis 6:13-22) by flood because he is unhappy with the level of violence in the World. God instructs Noah to build an Ark out of gopherwood. He instructs Noah to fill the Ark with all land animals, two by two, male and female. God then floods the earth for 150 days, when a dove comes back to the Ark with an olive leaf Noah knows that the flooding has ended. God promises not to flood the earth again using a rainbow as a symbol of this. The Bible gives the dimensions of the Ark of it being 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high, assuming a cubit of 18". Physics students at Leicester University have researched whether it would be possible to accommodate 70,000 animals in an Ark. The students used 48.2cm as a length of cubit to test the idea. They calculated the total mass the Ark could contain without sinking. The students were surprised to find that the Ark could have achieved its aim and could have carried all its passengers and their provisions for a whole year. Therefore, the Bible’s references to the Ark may not have been as unachievable as some people have suggested.

Films based on Arks.

Ark (2012), the premise of this film was that 9 Arks would save 100,000 people and animals per Ark from a 2012 apocalypse. Some of the nine Arks were not finished on time. Selection of who could enter the Arks was clearly set meaning that only certain members of the human race would survive, mostly based on status, power and money. Passengers (2016) was a film that used the idea of an Ark like vessel (the Avalon) in its plot as passengers paid for their space on a sleeper craft that would transport them to a new life of a different planet. The passengers were not escaping the end of the earth but were recruited to populate a new planet, Homestead II. The passengers had to fulfil certain criteria and pay for a space on the vessel which represented a cruise ship. Depending on the amount of money paid passengers had different entitlements on the craft for food etc. The vessel was like a cruise ship because it had leisure facilities such as a swimming pool, sports, bar and restaurants. The vessel held everything needed to set up on a new planet such as engineering, medicine, vehicles, plants etc. Passengers would be kept in hibernation for 90 years whilst they travelled to the new planet.

Alien: Covenant. This film tells the story of a US colonisation starship that transports 15 crewmembers, 2,000 colonists, and 1,140 second-generation embryos to the planet Origae-6.

The mission is interrupted by the aliens that kill the crew or get on to the spacecraft. The spacecraft in this film is more military in style that in passengers which uses the cruise ship idea.
