For my Traditions and locations essay I will be exploring three of the top animation companies currently - Dreamworks, Pixar and Disney. Their individual styles, how they go about creating their movies, particular animators work and how they have influenced the industry and eachother.
I will use this blog to bring together research articles and links/references for the essay.
I will use search terms such as
- Pixar/Disney/Dreamworks process
- Pixar/Disney/Dreamworks influence
- Style of Pixar/Disney/Dreamworks
- Disney principles of animation
- Glen Keane
- Top Dreamworks/Disney/Pixar characters
- Top Dreamworks/Disney/Pixar movies
- Dreamworks/Disney/Pixar goals
- How to train your dragon artwork/style
- Toy Story creative process
I will look for interviews, news articles, concept art, movies, animators work, inspirations. My main media for finding sources will be internet searches and watching behind the scenes of any DVD movies I own from these companies. Also the disney book "The Illusion of Life".
