Food for Thought
. Imagination is a thing everyone experiences, though, everyone takes it a different way. With Gabriel, he was one that looked at something that changed him and moved him internally.
. For those with autism, the movie theater is a comforting place, were they can just, you know, watch a movie.
. Movies no matter what, can change someone watching it. It could give a message.
My Opinions
. I found this story quite heartly, reading on how a movie such as this changed and helped young Gabriel. Being a huge movie fan and being moved by several films, this was understandable.
.I hope Gabriel finds other works to help him along and brighten him up just like Frankenweenie did to him.
YES A QUESTION
Any movies that moved you?

In A Hole In The Ground...There Lived A Hobbit... (Blog # 28)
Hello to those.
ANOTHER week has passed quickly and soon, Christmas break will be here.
WOO
Overall, this week was just work all over the place. Both school and animation class, I'm pooped out and I can't wait for the weekend. We learned 3-D dimensional mathematics for our introduction into 3-D animation and it was different as there are now X-Y-Z instead of just X-Y.
I would like to learn different animation styles, especially something like this
I would love to learn how to do something of this nature.
I'm really happy this week as my friends are coming over and that means, video games, up all night video games and going against each other with video games. plus, we're seeing the desolation of smaug tomorrow!
ugh, iv'e been waiting for this and i can't wait to see it, it's gonna be so perf.
what pissed me off was the lag on my mac. I was told that since using the paint brush it does that but I can't stop using it! It's my favorite one *grabbie hands*
So this has been the week of Emily McNuggies.
Summing it up:

ELVES. (Video # 11)
Okay, literally this person, JentheJinx was the one who got me into cosplay. Iv'e been following her and her cosplay adventures for years now. So, I look up to her highly.
So, since the Hobbit is coming out this Friday. Here's a video of her in her Thorin Oakenshield cosplay.
Ugh, she is so amazing.
From my Kingdom Hearts phase which she heavily influenced with her show 'Demyx Time' She grew into a more known cosplayer to all.
I just wanna meet her

FROZEN REVIEW (EXTRA)
Now, Frozen is based intentionally of the the Hans Christian Anderson story dubbed 'The Snow Queen'. The story being adapted to Disney was changed from the original and this worked.
I seen this movie last weekend and it was everything I waited for, it was perfect in every way possible. So I decided to do a review on the movie basing on the story line, the animation, the characters and even to the songs.
NOW I WILL TRY TO BE SPOILER FREE
So let's start off with the story of Frozen
The Story
The story is great as it shows the original Disney sense with a twist of it's own.
It feels like the Disney films from the Renaissance of The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. With having the usual goofy Disney sidekicks of Olaf and Sven, they are in the film enough at the correct moments to lighten the mood. Saying, they are in it enough to not be annoying.
Each part of the movie moves along at a good pace and it keeps you interested with different plot twists and there really is a great one. Trust me, I loved it and it and another really shine in this movie making it stand out from other formal Disney animated films.
The Animation
Yes, yes. It does have some likeness' to Tangled, though in my opinion, I liked this way of animation for this plot a whole lot more, the roundness and full face of the characters especially Anna and Elsa, this style fits perfectly for them. Main-fully Anna, giving her that young and curious complexion.
Scene's such as the castle building in 'Let it Go' and just the background really are a shining star in this film. The background scenes are full with mountains and give you the feeling that, it is Norway. The snow which does take up most of the movie, well, they mastered snow, it looks amazing on screen and how Elsa does her magic. It's magical even just having the snow blowing.
For animals in the film, they nailed that on the head as well, with the wolves and Sven, Kristoff's dog-like reindeer, the fur and movement are flawless.
Differences of characters are good also, between Kristoff and Hans, Kirstoff has a more full face then Hans who has a more, masculine or even so called " better looking" face.
Kristoff having a bigger nose and a fuller face. Then Hans a more thinner one and a more kept looking presence for himself. They are polar opposites.
The Characters
Characters in Frozen show surprises for me as they are some of the most complex Disney characters so far, breaking stereotypes for the typical Disney character.
Starting with Anna, her character is a very eccentric and wondrous character. Her curiosity for the world around her and those also around her display a unique characteristic to a Disney female.
Elsa on the other hand, some look at her and think of a villain though on the real hand. She is far from a villain she, is the what changed my mind about Disney and the cookie cutter. She is the most complex out of all the characters and you'll see why.
Kristoff is my favorite character with his rugged personality and his way of living as an ice harvester. He is a loner as he lives with his friend Sven, who is a reindeer but just not any reindeer to him. He, does have a plot twist as well. He speaks his mind and soon finds himself in the adventure with Anna in the search of her sister Elsa.

He speaks his mind and soon finds himself in the adventure with Anna in the search of her sister Elsa.
Hans is the typical prince charming looking for the hand of a damsel. Even with that, he is a complex character that you will like for certain reasons. I actually adore Hans for his care and personality.
Here's Olaf that "annoying" snowman sidekick from the trailers. Now, I know what you're thinking. Though you are wrong. Olaf is a really good character and is actually funny with some deadpan humor. He adds that bit of light-hearted sense for this movie.
The Songs
The songs mostly being in the first half of the movie was the only thing I noticed that I didn't like as I wished there were more songs, they leave a huge impact of the audience and they represent the characters perfectly, giving character development in the process. Example being 'Let it Go' sung by Elsa and I know, this is gonna be up there with Colors of the Wind and others.
'Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?' is also a good one, being the first one in the movie, it starts off the film in a good way. Having a good start is key.
So overall, this movie is flawless and I highly recommend seeing this movie.
One of my favorites now and same to other's.
Go see Frozen, please.
Now I shall go and starting thinking up idea's on a nice Kristoff cosplay
I Can Just Smell the Winning Plots ( Blog # 27)
My Just Learned Knowledge
. Have your plot but add a bit more in there other than the main problem, add a second or possibly a third, it gives the story more meat inside of it. It could be relationships, the probability of a superheroes identity coming out or maybe some important dies. Makes things for complex.
. Start things off by punching the viewers in the face with a great opening. You have to pull their frail little minds into that mindset and world. Make them interested in your story.
. Have a genre and not some sloppy thing that your don't know what it is. If it has aliens. Good, it's a Sci-fi, if it has dancing hippos in ballerina skirts and magic broomsticks walking about well, I don't know.
HEY, LISTEN
. You also, have to make people think with and along with your story, it keeps them hooked as well as they think. So they stay interested as they try and see if their analogies are correct.
. An opening has to be good but the ending also so, if there is a sequel, the viewers will come back for the second part.

Fun Things About Editing (Blog # 26)
Facts, Life is About the Facts
. Figuring the tone of your project is a main as if you don't know the initial tone or message, it wont go far and it will die. Make your idea and edit, edit it until you know what you want.
. With screenwriting, organizing thoughts is essential. Conform and ideal point to a smaller idea and broaden on that.
. You have to listen to the leader or the higher up's if they don't know or possibly won't like it, show them what you think and if they say they don't like it, then you have to fix it even if you personally think it's a good plan or idea. Sad but true.
O-PIN-IONS
. Personally, I like screenwriting. I like writing period so I agree with the process of making an idea for a project. Start small and move onto bigger things, this is how I made the plot of my own animation 'Static'. A small thought, horror and static. BAM! A whole plot and twists are created.
. Listening to the head of the project, I think sucks so much. Though, it's a good and a bad thing. As the head of your department could not like you or lessen your ideas until, you idea is nothing but in shambles.
?
. How long is the editing process exactly?

MK III (Blog # 25)
Welcome to my review on my week. Overall, it was a productive week.
Obviously we've been working on our 2D shorts and so far I'm at 22 seconds (WOO) but working on it this weekend. In regular school, nothing. Absolutely nothing other than people throwing food around on the bus and dancing in the bus.
I really want to learn how to make things more anticipating in my animations since, it's supposed to be psychological and frighting.
This week has been pretty drama free as I rolled on through without a care in the world. Ah, so nice isn't it??
But for happiness, my band put out a new album!
MK III by Steam Powered Giraffe, they are my favorite band and I'm in love with it so much, it's wonderful. Plus not to mention I stayed up for their Steam Power Hour ( a Q & A and show they do on their youtube) for a party about the album release and it was all live! Loved it.
So all in all my week was good and hopefully there are more to come just so.
Summing things up:
