Animation Awesomeness

I just finished watching A Cat In Paris and it is fantastic! I haven't seen many French animated films but the ones I have seen are really awesome. Such as: Triplets of Belleville, Renaissance, The Illusionist, and Duck Ugly (which is a strange movie but I really loved the animation). A Cat In Paris is a fantastic movie with a unique style. I loved the way that certain characters moved to the point where it was exaggerated but it wasn't out of place. The music was outstanding. It really puts you in the movie. Fantastic film I highly recommend a watch.

Pixar's Brave

I finally went and saw Brave last night with my husband.

I liked it for the most part but I felt like the story fell short of what Pixar usually delivers. I didn't really feel very attached to the main character and couldn't really get into the story because I knew what was going to happen. I think that it could have been executed a bit better.
Before the movie we were treated with the usual previews. A lot of them were animated, such as "Wreak-it-Ralph" which I want to see and "Hotel Transylvania", "Ice Age: Continental drift" (shudder), and Finding Nemo in 3D. There was even "The Hobbit" trailer. However, the worst trailer was "Monsters University". Which I couldn't believe was real when I saw the article on Cartoon Brew. Pixar has taken a turn for the worst. Which is hard to swallow since I have looked up to them ever since I was little. Toy Story made me decide my career when I was eight years old. However, with every movie company there is a period where they just need to make money, with whatever they can. Like with Cars 2... Which was okay but it was predictable and I am not a fan of Mator as a character. There is going to be a new spin-off in the Cars universe called "Planes".
I am getting off topic here. Brave is a good movie for how simple and flat the story is. I liked the music even though I felt like there could have been more traditional Scottish music instead of pop-ish style songs but, it was no where near as bad as Tangled's songs. The textures are absolutely beautiful and the rendered environments are gorgeous. It felt a little uncanny valley because of how realistic it looked and it kinda took away from what was going on. The fabrics were unbelievably realistic looking. I could tell what materials the characters were wearing. It was pretty incredible all the depth and detail of the renders and environments. The movie was pretty awesome visually.

All and all it wasn't a that bad movie and I am glad that we saw it. I just hope Pixar has some better projects ahead after "Monsters U" and "Planes".

Old becomes new

Wow... This blog is old.

Time for a revamping

*rolls up sleeves*

AND PRESTO!!!

A FRESH NEW LOOK!!!!!

*Ahem*

With that done I can move on to the actual writing on this blog.

A lot has happened since I have been here. Time to write to the internet about it!

There have been somethings that I have had to face in my life recently. While I have been in school, there have been things that have triggered me to back when I was in school. I came to realize that I have some MAJOR social anxiety issues that I have never dealt with. AND that was effecting my school experience, because I am afraid to talk to people and a lot of it steams from when I was growing up, with my parents behavior and my school experiences in general. Which is classic therapist jazz, but it is true. I have been seeing a therapist for a couple months now and it has been helping a lot. But there is a lot that I need to get through still. However, I have been awakened to a new sense of self. It feels good. It feels really nice to actually matter and be my own person. I have taken the quarter off this summer to work through a lot of my anxiety issues among other things I have to do. Such as finding a new job because Shitty Coffee just keeps getting shittier. Also, getting my driver's license finally. So apart from all that crap I want to put my art on this blog and I also have an animation project that I want to work on and these next three months are perfect for that :) Got lots of sketches that I need to get up here. Keepin' you posted internet.
