I made this account because I got tired of the pop up's to make a account when I scroll to far in some tag that intrested me, so I lurk now with a account. Also multiple interests so many stories.

I love animation history and one of the things that always baffled me was how did animators draw the cars in 101 Dalmatians before the advent of computer graphics?

Any rigid solid object is extremely challenging for 2D artists to animate because if one stray line isn’t kept perfectly in check, the object will seem to wobble and shift unnaturally.

Even as early as the mid 80’s Disney was using a technique where they would animate a 3D object and then apply a 2D filter to it. This practice could be applied to any solid object a character interacts with: from lanterns a character is holding, to a book (like in Atlantis), or in the most extreme cases Cybernetic parts (like in Treasure Planet).

But 101 Dalmatians was made WAY before the advent of this technology. So how did they do the Cruella car chase sequence at the end of the film?

The answer is so simple I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner:

They just BUILT the models and painted them white with black outlines 🤣

That was the trick. They’re not actually 2D animated, they’re stop motion. They were physical models painted white and filmed on a white background. The black outlines become the lineart lines and they just xeroxed the frame onto an animation cel and painted it like any other 2D animated frame.

That’s how they did it! Isn’t that amazing? It’s such a simple low tech solution but it looks so cool in the final product.

I am searching the will and strength since the 2nd (and probably before) of Jan to draw something new in reaction of worldwide situation.

Isra(h)el(l) closing and ban humanitarian help

Venezuela under attack bc Trump wants oil (Oh, the story repeats, mhh?)

Italy keeping to clear communities, affordable or free spaces to make profit (Oh, gentrification, you here?)

The murder of a civilian, a mother, by a wind up, untrained guy

But the truth, is that this draw already said enough. (and I'm a little overwhelmed to throw myself in a new illustration instead of do my projects and lovely commissions that keeps me alive)

Started typing “You are-“ in tags and the options tumblr suggested made me stop and appreciate humanity

Hello, guys. I know I haven't been active in this blog for some time, but I guess I just needed to write about this and I'm not sure where else to do it.

As some of you know, I live in Venezuela. For the last hour or so bombs have been falling over my city, Caracas. Some people say it's a coup d'etat, others that it's the US military. We are not yet sure what is happening.

A bomb fell over La Carlota, a military air base a few blocks away from my apartment. We can still see the smoke through the window. As I understand, bombs have also fallen on "strategic places" like Fuerte Tiuna and Miraflores.

The neighbors are speaking about leaving but me and my parents haven't decided what we are going to do. We don't really have a place to go. I'll keep you updated if I can. Thank you for taking the time to read.

WTF Many people blocked me here before my brother died because I asked them to help my family. If they hadn't ignored my message, perhaps I could have at least provided my brother with food before he died; at least he could have eaten a loaf of bread and some hot lentil soup...

He died hungry. He was waiting for his breakfast. My little brother died hugging his cat, and she died with him

I hate this world. I wish I had died instead. I'm writing every word now with tears in my eyes. I pressed on my brother's wounds before he died, trying to stop the bleeding, but he died in my arms, hungry, looking up at the sky...

My brother and his cat died!!

Only 6 people have helped me so far. If you want to join them and help my family, donate here
