San Diego Comic-Con Museum - Animation Academy Exhibit 

Epic!

If memory serves me correct, Gerald communicated by making "boing-boing" sounds rather than talking like most other people do.

I have a RU-vid channel it's called Hunter 554

That's greattttttttt

I remember that museum, but the area hadn't been used in awhile so it is good to see the building in use again.

@@pedrozatravel its been a few years. But yea glad to see it being used

It also used to be a gymnasium because I went to see the US men's national volleyball team practice there before they shipped the practices to Colorado

Epic!!!!

What animals did you look after at the zoo

I also remember Gumby back in the 60's and I watched how his look changed over the years. And I just found out that they made a Gumby move in 1995.

Still kinda scary, how’d u get rid of the butterflies in your stomach going to your first convention, I am very nervous about going to my local con but I really want to go

@@insanecommander5948 I never really had butterfly's in my stomach about going to a con. I had heard it described as a three day long party with a science fiction/fantasy theme, so I was just looking forward to it. I'm guessing you have a bit of social anxiety. Just don't sweat it. I met people at that first con I'm still friends with and that was in 1989. Just go and have fun. Sorry if I wasn't helpful.

san deigo is where alex, monty, melvin and gloria are from.

if you’re still here you should come visit Phils Bbq in Rancho Bernardo two big fans work there!!

Epic!

You know -- I used to think that but I'm not so sure. Sure, computers CAN be used to recheck footage more easily and make stop motion sooner but you still have to build and paint both the sets and characters for stop motion... as well as computer set-up and measuring to see what your next movement should be! That is at least as tedious as hand-drawn animation. With hand-drawn animation, you can overlay sheets of registrated paper to check your work OR do this in layers in a computer program! You can't really overlay more than a few frames (if possible) with captured still for stop motion. They still use mini-measuring tools to check where they should move (and how far) limbs of puppets. I would also maintain it's more time-consuming to build things (hammer, nails, and whatever other hardware you use) for stop motion than even hand-drawing traditionally or with digital tools (animation and photo-editing software). There are people who can still draw decent characters and backgrounds faster than anyone can saw and nail sets together. It was estimated by someone else that digital ink and paint sped up some traditional animation jobs as much as 500-600% minimum because you no longer had to wait for paint and ink to dry! Even with good drying tools (heat gun or lamp) it may take upwards of at least half a day for a paint-loaded cel to dry enough to be photographed. Models sprayed with an airbrush take less time to dry to the touch (heat gun or not; most modelers doing contract work use heat tools to accelerate the paint drying and drive out the moisture in the paint) because the paint is misted on in thinner layers than you can manage with any quill pen or paint brush! One advantage of both polygon-based animation and stop motion is once you have your "master puppets" built, you don't have to constantly rebuild them. With hand-drawn animation, you're stuck with redrawing and distorting the character to get decent-quality animation but there are benefits to redrawing characters. It's very difficult to "stretch and squash" puppets without building a new puppet constantly and they're still working on emulating things that were routinely with hose and tube, stretch and squash animation in CG animation. The best hand-drawn animation still looks smoother and more "lifelike" than the best poly and stop motion animation.

Noooooooooooo

Oh by the way I have no clue on a lot of the super heroes, Marvel, Avengers, all those people, either. Don't feel bad!

Watch giv on RU-vid

I love those.

I look e stop motion. Robot chicken ftw in more contemporary productions… even this weird one on adult swim.. “the shivering truth”
