Bambi and Miyazaki

The  famous clip of Pixar lamp, a simple and incredible piece of digital art, still communicates a lot of power to audience.  

However, why lecturers are so obsessed with Disney Pixar, sometimes people think it is the only big company of digital animation, what about Dreamworks, Weta Workshop, etc.  It seems we still live like 60 or 70 years ago when it was Disney and nothing else.

We watched a clip of a bee considered one of the first animation clips in 3D, Bill highlighted the motion blur system and the particle system of this first attempts.  Logically use of polygons was quite basic.

But the most interesting and important think of the lecture was the Bambi and Miyazaki works. The thing which shocked me was that Bambi’s scene with Thumper was considered a homosexual complot.  There are thousands of conspiracies against Disney in this fact, most of them related with sex. Bambi, surprisingly I haven’t seen the full movie yet, is a fantastic piece of art, the rhythm of the movie fly, like editing the animation tools in Maya

Miyazaki’s work is not as speediest as Western animation but is more deep, he just need a few words to communicate a lot of information to the audience.
