My Interests In Animation

 Bonjour!! 
         Comment ça va? Je suis très excité pour la classe animation. J'adore le classe animation!

Hey guys, I am back again this school year in sophomore year. To recap from last year I went to a whole new school just to take a class to better my self in some of my greatest interests. Last year we took the beginners class to test out of the four strands which are Video, Graphic Design, and Animation. Now this year we get to choose two classes that we liked the most and have two full class periods to work on both subjects. I choose Video and Animation. In this blog I will tell you all more on why I took Animation over graphic design and web and why is was my first choice.

So there is this really big company, that makes really good movies. Mostly about princesses and how they change their lives and how they lived happily ever after. This company has been around and it all started with a man and a mouse. Yes that company, it is called Disney, and I want that place to be my future job. More specifically I would love to be an animator help create these masterpieces of movies that have been capturing the emotion and be able to make people feel happy, sad, or even content. I would love to be an animator. The way that people can make such a beautiful thing from just moving pictures, I want to do that.

    Animation was definitely my first choice this year out of the five different strands. I loved last year, even if it was just a basics class it was very fun and I enjoyed working on projects everyday. The end results were pretty rewarding. The Dino I animated last year was very fun to work on and I definitely loved how it came out. It did take a week or so but it didn't feel like a project at all, I enjoyed every minute of it. I also love to watch animated shorts on YouTube and behind the scenes for movies like Marvel and I watch early story boards for Frozen and Moana and I love to see the whole thing come together and make it to the big screen in a totally different manner. 

I think my favorite form of animation would be 2D animation or Cell animation. There is something about the way it looks and that I know people had to draw it to make the scenes happen that I love. One of my favorite Disney movies is Beauty and the Beast. I would watch this everyday when I was a little kid. I still love it. I love cell animation a little more than 3D, not exactly sure why, I love the way it looks and I love the music and Overall i enjoy 2D more than 3D. So I think I am most excited for the first quarter of school because I hope this what we are going to do. I know that second and third are going to be 3D and I am excited for that too. But, I just love 2D more and I am more excited.


I know animation is very hard, the long hours of simply creating frames can be sure to drive a person crazy. But I would to think that I would be able to keep going. In animation you really have to study your character and be able to express all of their traits like how they smile and how they walk. I am excited to be able to do this, it will definitely help my artistic abilities and I would be come a much better storyteller.


I hope you all enjoyed my blog telling about how much I love animatio!
See you next time,
Sophie the First.
