Otto and Victoria

A girl walks outside for a lovely stroll.  She picks up her skirt as she walks, her thick brown goggles glinting in the sun, in her leather gloves, she holds the leash to her favorite pet, Otto; Otto the octopus! 

from Brian Kesinger, one of the artist for Disney's Tarzan.

You think your film was a challenge?

Things learned;
1. Russian animator Aleksandr Petrov’s made an adaptation of Hemmingway’s The Old Man and the Sea 1999.
2. Every scene is painted on glass, recorded, edited and recorded again...over and over and over and over.......
3. Petrov worked on the film for two-and-a-half years, filming 29,000 individually manipulated paintings.

Opinions;
1. OMG I would die! I'd give up and throw all the supplies across the room.
2. I give the man AMAZING credits for such dedication and hard work to do something like this; cause I sure couldn't.

Question;
1.  why would you do this?  please don't ask me to ever do this...EVER!

Why I watch reality TV with my kids

A while ago, reality TV shows were looked on with some skepticism.  (1)Now, its what families watch to bond with.  Shows like Masterchef have now become shows that the whole family can sit down and watch.  Most  shows, in one way or another, connect with a family. (2) Top Chef, Chopped, Market Warriors are great for families and kids who like to cook, as well as the competitions involved in it.  (3)Shark Tank shows what goes into getting an investor to invest in one's idea and business.

Opinions;
(1)When you think about it, this makes sense. You can't turn on the TV without some reality show or commercial for a new reality show.  (2)Since that genre seems the most popular and most viewed, you might as well as bond with your family watching it.

Question;
(1)  I don't mind reality shows; I watch Masterchef and Chopped whenever I can...but does anyone else miss the old cartoons?

Class Evaluation

1.  What I like most about this class, was learning to add special effects to video's.

2.  What I like least about this class was the technical endorsement test; EVIL!

3.  Favorite project was the photomontage because it was fun and I liked how it turned out.  My least favorite project was the color project....just meh.

4.  I do think this class will help my career because I know how camera's work, how movies are recorded which will give me a better understanding of how things should look on my end....if that makes sense?

5.  Bye bye video class......hello college *facepalm*

Disney Princess....what are they?

Just watch it...explains so much.

This one too please!

Disney Withdraws Attempt to Trademark the Name of a Holiday

1.     Okay I understand Disney using its characters to promote a certain holiday, (have you seen what they do during Halloween?).  But trying to Trademark "The Day of the Dead" is not cool!  As the Pixar-centric site Pixartimes.com reports, the studio behind such beloved movies as Toy Story 3 have long made it known that they’re working on a film related to the Latin American holiday Día de Los Muertos—or, Day of the Dead. On May 6, Stitch Kingdom reported that Disney had filed applications to trademark the phrase “Día de Los Muertos,” which some speculated would be movie’s title.

2.      Dia de Los Muertos is a time to celebrate life of loved ones who are no longer in the world of the living and Disney is taking it and making money off of it. Not saying that other companies haven't done that, I mean during Mardi Gras stores sell all kinds of "Mardi Gras" items.  But its in a way to promote/make aware of the holiday and set up for a Dia de Los Muertos party/festival.  NOT MAKE MONEY!

3.     In short, a trademark—not a copyright; U.S. law doesn’t provide copyright protection for titles—would have protected Disney against others trying to create merchandise that referenced their movie, but it would not have given the company ownership of the idea behind the holiday, or the words used in the phrase. In addition, Disney would probably have had to prove that the phrase “Día de los Muertos” had a specific Pixar-only meaning in order to be successful in applying for a trademark. “We don’t want to give terms to wide a protection if they don’t have any sort of significance for the consumer,” he explains.

Opinions;

1.Even if Disney is making a movie related to Day of the Dead, does not mean they can trademark it like they do to their princesses.  That would be like trademarking the Holocaust or something like that.

2. I feel bad for Pixar, they have to associated with this terrible company....and Pixar never did anything bad to us. They gave us Up  and Wallie etc.  Poor Pixar

Questions;

What other thing are Disney going to mess up? They already ruined Disney Princess Merida and now went after a holiday...what's next?
