INSPIRATION 4 - Coroline 3D > thoughts

This movie sold me on 3D.

For the most part, it was not pushed in your face { literally } ... and quite often it was used for subtle compositions with the layouts.

I really thought it was successful showing that it can be used in more subtle ways to create atmosphere within the shots.

I would positively say that this new version of 3D certainly DOES enhance the viewing process making it become a more 'special' experience for the audience.

I think this movie stood out more to me, more than other recent films, as the filmmaker created more moments of slower movements within the scenes.

There were longer shots, letting us take in the scene. We were able to have enough time to take in the layouts, the compositions... for longer lengths allowing us to get into the shot.

It almost, at times reminded me of looking into an old 'viewmaster ' being able to really see the 3D effect.

Look forward to more of this, when used in this way, it can really add to the director's vision.

and the OSCAR goes to ......

Congratulations to the winners of the 2009 Oscars for Animated Short and Animated feature.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY 2009

Just a quick sketch I did for the kids Valentine Party at school.
It being on friday the 13th and all :-)

Unfortunately, the card was taken back once the teachers actually saw the drawing.... oops!
The other card I drew was fine... it was for the girls. So the boys all went home empty-handed.
Well... at least from the Pudleiner boys.
{ ugh .... us cartoon drawers are always getting into trouble .... ;-) }
