2D Class Week 15 Film 7 – The Secrete of Nimh

Image
1. Who was the director of the film? What other movies has this director produced? Don Bluth directed this film and he's known for other movies very similar in style: An American Tale, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Thumbelina, Anastasia and Titan A.E . 2. Artistically, what did you like about this film? The animation style of Don Bluth films is something I've always liked, though it's a little hard to pinpoint why. The best way I can put it is that it's less polished than later Disney films. This means that a lot of the animator comes through in the animation and in the mistakes, kind of like early Disney films animated by Milt Kahl (although he never made mistakes, guy was an animation God). It's so much easier to see the artist in them, if that makes sense. 3. What was Mrs. Brisby's husbands name? Jonathan. As we heard many times from everyone calling her Mrs. Jonathan Brisby. (Which is weird, to be referred to as your spouses full name.)

Who was the director of the film? What other movies has this director produced?

A rtistically, what did you like about this film? The practical effects are incredible and the monster designs as well. The dogs are always the most horrific to me, since they're still alive as they're being pulled into this creature. Some of the lighting is very interesting too, with a strong use of orange and blue. The camera is unsteady but it suits this movie well and it's something John Carpenter does often. There are some cheesy parts but it just

2D Class Week 02 The Art of Brian Froud

This weeks artist was Brian Froud, an illustrator and concept artist that worked on movies like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal . Something about his work makes me think of the Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman. I think he would have been perfect for that series.
