Alice in Wonderland 2010
Went to see Alice in Wonderland yesterday. Rather enjoyed it. The soundtrack worked well with the scenes and I personally thought the animation and CG imagery wasn't too bad either. Especially the Cheshire Cat. However, having had a short conversation with Alan today about it I can see what he means that it had a weak 3rd act. The Mad Hatter with a sword? Hmmm doesn't really work.
The film reminds me more of a book I've read based on a different version of Alice in Wonderland, but it's called 'The Looking Glass Wars'. In the book, Alice (spelt Alyss) is actual the princess of wonderland. Her Aunt 'the Queen of Hearts' like character (similar to the one in the 2010 film) invades the palace on Alyss' birthday. In an attempt to save the Kingdom (or Queendom as its called because of having a female ruler) Hatter (who in the book is actually the Captain of the Guard) sends Alyss to our world so she may be safe. Years later Hatter (after loosing her) find Alyss again so she can dethrone her aunt.
As the film is very similar in plot line to the Looking Glass Wars book, I was almost waiting for the Mad hatter to turn his hat into something a little more deadly (and not use a simple sword). For Hatter in the book has a hat (hence where he got his name) which turns into twin blades.

Essay Argument and Animation
After a lot of thought I've finally came up with an argument for my essay. The animator I've chosen to talk about is Don Bluth. The argument is
'How Don Bluth's studio have attempted to recreate a classic Disney film in the Secret of Nimh and whether or not they have been successful in doing so.'
As for my animation, bout 1/4 of the way through. Aiming to have the majority done by the time we get back so I've got a week to edit any faults etc.

Life Drawing 30th March
Used charcoal this week. Messy and fun. I was almost tempted to do what I was taught at Maidstone and cover the entire paper in charcoal and use the rubber to draw my figure. However stuck with colouring only small sections of the page.

Animatic
Just realized it's 2 seconds shorter than it should be. However this is just a rough idea of how it should play out.
