Draw With Me

Published on Jun 26, 2013

Made by Mike Inel: http://www.youtube.com/user/mikeinel

He also has a DeviantArt "World of Draw With Me" gallery: 
http://mikeinel.deviantart.com/galler...

-----

Draw With Me is a (currently) 3-part story of a boy and a girl who are initially unable to be together, but eventually find a way.


Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRkgH7...
Part 2 (timelapse): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j8xXR...
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWKUT1...

-----

The first two parts use the original music.

The third part was originally silent, so I added my own soundtrack. The songs used are:
Simon Daum, "Memories" (3:19 - 5:37)
The Last Days, "The Time Will Never Come Back" (5:37 - 7:02)
Zircon & C-GPO, "Solitude" (7:02 - 10:25)

The Weird World of Eadweard Muybridge
Cinephilia and Beyond

Published on Apr 7, 2013

A fantastic documentary on one of the key people in the history of cinema. A portrait of the pioneering photographer, forefather of cinema, showman and murderer Eadweard Muybridge. Born in Kingston upon Thames, Muybridge did his most famous work in California, where his experiments in early cinema and the public projection of his images using a machine he invented astounded audiences worldwide. Alan Yentob follows in Muybridge's footsteps as he makes - and often changes - his name, and sets off to kill his young wife's lover.

William Erwin "Will" Eisner (March 6, 1917 – January 3, 2005) was an American cartoonist, writer, and entrepreneur. He was one of the earliest cartoonists to work in the American comic book industry, and his series The Spirit (1940–1952) was noted for its experiments in content and form. In 1978, he popularized the term "graphic novel" with the publication of his book A Contract with God. He was an early contributor to formal comics studies with his book Comics and Sequential Art (1985). The Eisner Award was named in Eisner's honor, and is given to recognize achievements each year in the comics medium; he was one of the three inaugural inductees to the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.

Tricks to Animating Characters with a Computer - John Lasseter
https://www.siggraph.org/education/materials/HyperGraph/animation/character_animation/principles/lasseter_s94.htm


A STORY TRICK - John Lasseter

In storytelling, the timing of ideas and actions is important to the audience’s understanding of the story at any point in time. It is important that the animation be timed to stay either slightly ahead of the audience’s understanding of what’s going on with the story, or slightly behind. It makes the story much more interesting than staying even with the audience. If the animation is too far ahead, the audience will be confused; if the animation is too far behind, the audience, will get bored; in either case, their attention will wander. Action timed to be slightly ahead of the audience adds an element of suspense and surprise; it keeps them guessing about what will happen next. An example of this is at the beginning of Luxo Jr. Dad is on-screen, alone and still; the audience believes they are looking at a plain inanimate lamp. Unexpectedly, a ball comes rolling in from off-screen. At this point, both Dad and the audience are confused. The audience’s interest is in what is to come next. When the action is timed to be slightly behind the audience, a story point is revealed to the audience before it is known to the character. The entertainment comes in seeing the character discover what the audience already knows. Another application of this is with a dim-witted character who is always behind; the audience figures it out before he does. Many of these tricks can be used in concert in any given scene in order to achieve the strongest impact on an audience. At the end of the dream sequence in Red’s Dream, Red juggles three balls and catches them with a big finish; the crowd explodes into wild applause, and Red takes his bows. Slowly the circus ring dissolves to the interior of the bike shop, the sound of the applause fades into the sound of rain, and Red, unaware, continues to take his bows. At this point, the audiences has not caught on to what is happening because the timing of the action is slightly ahead of the audience. As the room appears, so does the large”50% OFF” tag hanging from Red’s seat. The animation of the tag is timed to be light in weight; it flops around more actively than anything else in the scene. This contrast of action directs the audience’s attention to the tag which is a subtle reminder that Red is still in the bike shop. The audience is now ahead of the character and watches Red discover where he really is. Red’s actions were timed to be slow, accentuating his sad emotion. Timing made the story points clear, the emotion stronger, and the character’s actions were a result of his thought process; thus, the scene has a strong impact on the audience.

Fighting the Great War at Home and Abroad

  •  Howard Chandler Christy Poster

 

On April 2, 1917, Woodrow Wilson went before a joint session of congress and declared war on Germany. After three years of anxiously following the headlines from Europe, Americans were going to war. Marking the 100th anniversary of US entry into “the Great War,” the History Museum of Sonoma County presents an exhibition exploring how the war touched so many lives, both at home and abroad.

As it reaches the century mark, the war has faded from collective memory-- simply with the passage of time and within the shadow of World War II. However, the war that lasted from 1914 until November 1918, reshaped the world and had a tremendous impact in Sonoma County. From the individual soldiers who ventured into a bigger world for the first time, to victory gardens and rationing on the home front, to the tragedy of the Spanish flu, discover the story of WWI in Sonoma County. 

This exhibition features:

  • A stunning collection of World War I posters that served as instruments of persuasion
  • Artifacts of the war, from uniforms that belonged Sonoma County soldiers, to examples of trench art
  • Letters and diaries from Sonoma County

Claude Shannon - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Shannon

In a 1951 essay,”Prediction and Entropy of Printed English", Claude Shannon proved that treating whitespace as the 27th letter of the alphabet actually lowers uncertainty in written language, providing a clear quantifiable link between cultural practice and probabilistic cognition.

The Doyle Collection

Santa Rosa Junior College is known for its outstanding art department. Much pride is taken in the quality of instruction and the breadth of courses offered. The full-time faculty, complemented by an array of adjunct instructors, brings a diversity of skills that find expression both inside and outside of the classroom. Our staff has exhibited its collective work throughout the world. Their collaboration with our students enriches the entire campus community.

The Doyle Library is home to a permanent collection of art works by faculty and staff members past and present. The interior of this building--built with funds provided by the residents of Sonoma County, via a bond measure--is well suited for exhibiting art, paintings in particular. The abundance of natural light, the large expanses of wall space and the over-all design give opportunity to showcase the various talents of those who teach, create and have contributed to SRJC in various ways. What follows is a list of the works housed in Doyle Library, including their titles, media employed, artists' names and the years the artists have served SRJC.
