ANSWERS:
1. what i like most about this class is the atmosphere. i love coming in here and just being around awesome people and doing work that's actually enjoyable.
2. what i like least about this class was the projects. don't get me wrong, some were fun and easy to do but others were exhausting and stressful. plus some projects would be added with other projects and it was just oh so stressful.
3. my favorite project had to be the rodoscope because i could use my drawing skills and really express them. i love the sketchy feel of drawings and i'm really good at tracing so i gotten to express both of those things in the project.
4. i do think this class will help me achieve future goals. epically when i go into video next year. it helped me advanced my drawing skills and better knowledge about technology. i found a hidden talent for illustrator witch can be used for future purposes as well.
5. i enjoyed this class so much. being here everyday (well, almost everyday) just makes my day so much better. I've made some great friends and learned a lot. I'm so excited to go into video next year and let me real talents show!

http://entertainment.time.com/2013/05/23/why-reality-tv-is-the-new-family-tv/
this article is titled, "Why reality TV is the new family TV". the title is obviously self explanatory but its about how reality TV is taking over and making it into more like a "family TV" channel. Reality TV has also became the new vision and of prime time family viewing. most of them are competition reality shows. most of them are also made for adults.
i don't really watch reality TV but sometimes i watch it when nothing else is on. i think its just really stupid and its about the same things.

http://www.animationmagazine.net/top-stories/you-think-your-film-was-a-challenge/
this article is titled, "You think your film was a challenge?" this is about the hardest type of animation and its called, paint-on-glass animation. the most notable example of this animation is titled, the Old Man and the Sea. to do this the director, Bernard Lajoie, used oil paint on glass with every frame, modifies it under the camera and repeats. its basically more like stop motion but with paintings. that's more then 29,000 frames drawn. it took him about 6 to 8 months of building it from scratch.
i thought this was really cool and interesting! i watched the short on youtube and i really liked it. it was really good and i couldn't believe every second was hand drawn. i think more people should try this but i see why they don't. its very time worthy process but in the end its all worth it.

http://www.marinij.com/millvalley/ci_23224741/brave-creator-blasts-disney-blatant-sexism-princess-makeover
this article is titled, "Brave creator blast Disney for blatant sexism in princess makeover." this article is about how Disney gave the main character in Brave a new look. filmmaker, Brenda Chapman, complains that the new look is sexist and only attracting money. the original character was modeled by her 13 year old daughter. chapman was also the first women to win an award for an animated film. she is very upset with this look and is looking for a change.
this article made me realize that Disney really is just money now. i didn't like disney to begin with, but now i have more of a reason to not like them. disney really is just a big scheme for money and they don't care if someone fights back because they have all the power. i like the old disney though. the old disney that had low budget films and shows and it was all pure fun. now its like a competition. hopefully things will change for her.

http://www.toonzone.net/2013/05/crowdfunding-and-the-future-animation/#.UYqOrJWU4W9
this article is titled, "Crowdfunding and the Future of Animation". its about more people in the entertainment business are turning to crowdfunding with hope that the general public will be more receptive of their ideas. sadly, only a few episodes of original content was ever created for this websites. the problem is, these cartoons were all created by people who are known for their work. they could easily reach out to the public and get attention for their work. however this is a struggaling process and might take a while before they actually get to were they want.
overall, i thought this was a very boring article. the writer didn't explain what crowdfunding is and didn't get to in detail about what is actually happening. instead we went right to the good part.

this article is titled, "Standards of Living: The First Feature Film Shot Entirely on a iPad 2" and the title is basically self explanatory. the film making business is pretty expensive so one director choses to create his inspiration for a movie using a low budget camera, the iPad 2. its called, "Standards of Living". its about a struggling comedian having a difficult time making a lasting impression. he's not a very good comedian. he meets a person named Mr. Randall who teaches him the art of teleportation to Peter (the struggling comedian) was eager to learn and suffers the consequences afterwards. the result of this movie is a dark funny film.
i really enjoyed this article. it seems like a pretty cool idea and i cant wait to watch it! i actually made "movies" on an iPad and i like the camera. i think its different and would make a cool show or something.
