On The Eleventh Day Of Christmas........ An Artist named Hyun [Eric Kwon]
With the staggering amount of time I've racked up watching videos on youtube, it seems prudent that I give good reason as to why I loiter on the website.
One reason is an artist named Hyun, his youtube channel "FlyingPanda1990" is home to some of the best amateur animations I've seen on the web some of them sitckman, others 3D (but those are his experimental exercise and work assignments) and some just wonderful little feature films made using a variety of media
One of which named "A Single Petal" is such a sugar sweet animation I think I now regularly take insulin
Another called "Sack Project" is exactly as the name states, similar to our exercises with Su-Lynn is just a short reel working with 2d animation (though I can't tell if it is done with a tablet or with pen and paper, and no he doesn't specify which in the description)
This final animation "Trash" is definitely created via pen and paper then photographed and then animated, you could say that this video is for those who believe in taking car of the planet, with the no littering business.

On The Tenth Day Of Christmas........ Selection Problems
Still rather puzzled as to who will be the subject of my research portfolio at the moment here is a list of possible subjects for now anyway:
Matt Groening, main artist behind the "Simpsons"
Tim Burton, a brilliantly famous animator, known for certain films such as "Nightmare before Christmas" and "The Corpse Bride"
Nick Park, creator of the "Wallace and Gromit" Se

On The Ninth Day Of Christmas....... A Blooper Reel of Kung Fu Bunny III
though it's mostly a montage, with nothing said, you can more or less get the gist of how it was made, from the size of the team that created it [was actually quite surprised, i thought it was a solo effort], to the storyboarding, even creating the illusion that the cartoon was holding an object: that process was rather interesting, I'm an amateur so I wouldn't know to begin with, but I never realised it was done or could be done like that. Quite the how-to for budding animators *smile and look at class*

On The Eighth Day Of Christmas......... some theory time
Well, it seems that i have yet to post things about magnus' lessons up here so here goes,
........okay, it isn't that simple
in terms of what I've learnt from the lessons, it has been considerably enlightening, particularly looking back to when we were shown videos of some of the first animations; namely, what ranked one of the top animations in the world "The Band Concert"
you already know how much of an influence it had on mickey and disney's career, however it has been a bigger influence on most big name cartoons to follow, with quite a number of big name's paying tribute and having their own orchestra episodes: one in particular "Tom and Jerry" who have made a number of episodes in which calamity and hilarity ensue within a musical show case
"Tom and Jerry in The Hollywood Bowl"
"Tom and Jerry - The Cat Concerto"
"Tom and Jerry - The Cat Above and the Mouse Below"
And hey for every good Tom and Jerry episode Bugs Bunny will always equalise [ now isn't the time to deliberate on who is funnier ]
Couldn't for the life of me find a decent link to the full episode, so instead here's a clip of the concert in which the "wabbit" gets his revenge

On The Sixth Day Of Christmas....... Animating Problems
At the moment our 3d project has us animating our character model, making them dance to a popular song.
Now the song i'm not too concerned about, it's choreographing the dance, not too mention what type of dance to have my character doing; Shuffling, a Michael Jackson set, the new jack swing, skankin', or the electric slide. This is annoying.
