...and now my blog : come be a part of all the above !!!Anirudhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07557141626708137753noreply@blogger.comBlogger282125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296792312520307624.post-67920548077385605382010-03-14T11:29:00.005+05:302010-03-14T11:35:07.911+05:30Bye Bye Blogger : My Last PostAll-right, its not that I am shedding my blogger cape and completely moving away from the exciting word of blogging. But I am moving away from Blogger and onto Wordpress(WP)!!! Why ?<br />
<br />
<ul><li> WP has more features, more ways to customize in terms of themes, widgets. </li>
<li>Blogger no longer meets my demands. It was great when I started blogging as its really easy to get started but somehow I felt restricted by Blogger at many different levels. </li>
<li>No matter what template we choose in Blogger, somehow all the blogger sites have an inherent look which makes all the blogs same to an extent in terms of appearance. </li>
<li>In keeping long term view of my plans, WP is way more compatible than Blogger would ever would be. What long term plan? Well subscribe to my blog in WP to stay abreast with all the exciting things I have in the pipeline. </li>
</ul>Now having said, its been a truly enjoyable journey so far here on Blogger. <b>Thanks to Blogger I am now 280 posts old spread across 57 categories!</b> A very big achievement for me when I look back during signing up for a blog and had no clue what I would be posting about!!! <br />
<ul></ul>So from now onwards you can/should/better catch my blog posts at -<br />
<br />
<div style="color: orange;"><b><a href="http://abtheanimator.wordpress.com/">http://abtheanimator.wordpress.com/ </a></b></div><br />
Yay!<br />
<br />
Now initially my WP blog may look a bit incomplete and you miss few of the things I have here, but worry not, as I am still in the process of migrating everything. If even after sometime you don't find some thing which will simply mean that I no longer wanted it and will be replacing with much more exciting stuff.<br />
<br />
So without further ado, <a href="http://abtheanimator.wordpress.com/">visit my new blog</a> and make sure you subscribe/rss the feeds in order to not miss anything.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to your continued patronage as always! <br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

<br />
Yes! Finally I have managed to change my Blog, more Visually with slight content change which would be more prominent hopefully in times to come.<br />
<br />
What has changed -<br />
<br />
<ul><li>I have a plain white theme(template), against the colored them before. I found this more pleasing or may be because I had got bored of the previous template. Also content looks more elegant on a white seamless template. Though I am keen to experiment with different colors using the same template, but for now and for a good enough time this would remain.<br />
</li>
<li>I now have a face suitable for public consumption and hence my photo in the Profile !<br />
</li>
<li>About me text has changed because who I was when I started this blog and who am I at present has also gone thru many different transformations at different levels.</li>
<li>The right navigation links is now less cluttered with only those links which I truly like. Before it was all about filling as much on my Blog. I still want to edit/add a few things though. All in due time ! </li>
<li>Post wise, I have a few ideas in mind which would be slightly different in nature than what I have been posting now. Again, all in due time.</li>
</ul>I guess that's all about it ! Let me know whether you like this new design or if you have any suggestions in any aspect of my blogging endeavors !<br />
<br />
Looking forward to your patronage as always !<br />
<br />
Thanks !<br />

Cheers,<br />

When I started I didn't have much of a road map ahead as to what I am going to be posting now. But within no time, I was in the groove and was having fun posting on my Blog.<br /><br />Though I was always were picky and careful as to what I wanted to post about, I have realised over time my blog became a bit cluttered. Also I have seen many blogger(s), have a revamp/re-design of their blog occasionally and I thought why not try it myself. I believe this is part of the process of growing up at different levels !<br /><br />So on a note to clear the clutter and revamp my blog, I have decided to put all my postings on hold and come back with a new blog. The change will be more in the form of appearance and may be a bit about the content as I am still quite clear what I want to share on my blog and so the essence will still remain the same.<br /><br />If I have made sense so far through my posts, I look forward to continuing the tradition in future too ! :-)<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Anirudh<br /><br />P.S. - I cannot commit a certain time frame, when the revamp will happen, it can happen in a day or a week or a couple of weeks, but its my endeavor to make it happen asap.Anirudhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07557141626708137753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296792312520307624.post-13090001926510428832010-01-17T18:19:00.002+05:302010-01-17T18:21:24.529+05:30Animation Mentor Newsletter - January 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/S1MHlEVdl-I/AAAAAAAADk4/mjrzcHovpUU/s1600-h/amnewsletter_jan10.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

This is a brilliant movie in many many aspects, be it the story, the performances(Kate Winslet bagged an Oscar for her superb performance) by almost everyone who came into focus in any frame, production design, the look and feel of the entire movie and the amazing work done from a Director's point of view in terms of Camera Angles and directing the viewer's eyes to the place which actually matters - Staging or Composition. I really recommend watching this movie.<br /><br />Now this post is not about the movie per se, but to talk about how important Staging/Composition is in film-making(be it live-action, animated or a blend of both) with examples taken from the movie - <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Reader</span>. I have chosen 3 frames which stood out for me as to how powerful Staging can be to impact/heightened the story and the scene in particular and make the viewer see what has to be seen. Now this not to say, rest of the movie has bad staging, but for me these Framing were the cream so as to speak ! Watch the movie and see what else stands out for you !<br /><br />So lets get started -<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Frame - 1</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoMOW7WWZI/AAAAAAAADj0/int5mP6x0Vs/s1600-h/reader_stage_2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoMOW7WWZI/AAAAAAAADj0/int5mP6x0Vs/s400/reader_stage_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420658542306023826" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">To break it down in terms of shapes and lines -</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoMS-xdjhI/AAAAAAAADj8/t_Ra6NXjWAs/s1600-h/reader_stage_2_breakdown.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoMS-xdjhI/AAAAAAAADj8/t_Ra6NXjWAs/s400/reader_stage_2_breakdown.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420658621721447954" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In the above picture, from the Staging itself you can instantly understand who is leading the scene here or where the Director wants you to focus on.<br /><br />Any frame can be framed in a million ways. This one works beautifully but so can many others. The key is to choose what will work best in any given situation.<br /><br />Notice the green lines, how the objects, the characters in the scene are placed or are shot in such a way that naturally your focus will go on the circle where the action is taking place. Now the characters can be moved around as desired, but the background(props, objects) in this case doesnt have the flexibility to be moved around at will because of the scale of the set.<br /><br />Again there can be a million different designs of how a classroom can be, but here this one seems perfect because the people behind the camera were able to squeeze out all the juice required. If the set was different, definitely the framing would have been different too.<br /><br />Too many choices in any aspect can be good or bad. For films this is the really difficult part as there are no set way or rules to do it this way or that. There are so many different permutations and combinations possible and considering an equal no. of contrast in the audience, to have something which will please all is definitely not possible but if you can please majority of them you have done your work !<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Frame - 2</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoMXIIzLcI/AAAAAAAADkE/c9ZibKWc9Fw/s1600-h/reader_stage_3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 247px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoMXIIzLcI/AAAAAAAADkE/c9ZibKWc9Fw/s400/reader_stage_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420658692954729922" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">To break it down in terms of shapes and lines -</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoS1_R27MI/AAAAAAAADkU/sifgiu_AcdU/s1600-h/reader_stage_3_breakdown.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 247px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoS1_R27MI/AAAAAAAADkU/sifgiu_AcdU/s400/reader_stage_3_breakdown.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420665820222516418" border="0" /></a><br />Another fantastic example of a good framing. See how the stairs on either side, the character on the left side and the two characters on the right side converge in terms of geometric shapes to the people in the circle. Also notice the triangle which gets formed due to the placement of the characters in the scene.<br /><br />There is another triangle on top of the circle thanks to the stairs on each side.<br /><br />So two opposite triangle, both pointing to where it matters most. Awesome stuff !<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Frame - 3</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoMAYgrsJI/AAAAAAAADjk/Xe7WA173T4Q/s1600-h/reader_stage_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoMAYgrsJI/AAAAAAAADjk/Xe7WA173T4Q/s400/reader_stage_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420658302212878482" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">To break it down in terms of lines and shapes -</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoMH1DikkI/AAAAAAAADjs/XiSEGXM5QCc/s1600-h/reader_stage_1_breakdown.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 239px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoMH1DikkI/AAAAAAAADjs/XiSEGXM5QCc/s400/reader_stage_1_breakdown.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420658430134358594" border="0" /></a><br />I simply love this one ! See how everything is framed to direct you to the circle. Also notice how the characters are place. See how the objects in the set also converge to the circle. You change one placement and the entire scene attains a fresh new composition. What if the girl was placed in the same row as the boy who is sitting on the table? What if the camera was placed somewhere else, say it was the left side from the character in the circle or it was on top, in the middle between the characters and focusing on the circle? It would look a whole different than it is now !<br /><br />The magic of Staging and Composition !Anirudhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07557141626708137753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296792312520307624.post-32822066672228752252009-12-29T18:55:00.003+05:302009-12-29T18:57:12.625+05:30Gesture Drawing : 29/12/09<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoDXZDCtfI/AAAAAAAADjM/1CPpM8Gx2P4/s1600-h/291209_page1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoDXZDCtfI/AAAAAAAADjM/1CPpM8Gx2P4/s400/291209_page1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420648801889334770" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoDgNi3hdI/AAAAAAAADjc/P1X8pVcZqxQ/s1600-h/291209_page3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoDgNi3hdI/AAAAAAAADjc/P1X8pVcZqxQ/s400/291209_page3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420648953420416466" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoDbvx71LI/AAAAAAAADjU/aKyC1HgTYpI/s1600-h/291209_page2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 291px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzoDbvx71LI/AAAAAAAADjU/aKyC1HgTYpI/s400/291209_page2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420648876711072946" border="0" /></a>Anirudhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07557141626708137753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296792312520307624.post-31660033711473267642009-12-24T15:16:00.004+05:302009-12-25T08:35:37.926+05:30Weekly Movie Recommendations : 26th December 2009 - 1st January 2010<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzM4fH_sz8I/AAAAAAAADjE/P4QXTX7la5M/s1600-h/blue_velvet_ver3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzM4fH_sz8I/AAAAAAAADjE/P4QXTX7la5M/s400/blue_velvet_ver3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418736884030164930" border="0" /></a><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090756/">Blue Velvet(1986)</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Genre -</span> Drama/Mystery<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directed By -</span> David Lynch<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cast -</span> Isabella Rossellini, Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What's It About -</span> After finding a severed human ear in a field, a young man soon discovers a sinister underworld lying just beneath his idyllic suburban home town.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div></div><br /><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ySrU7NvlECY&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ySrU7NvlECY&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>Anirudhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07557141626708137753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296792312520307624.post-44628832639937183082009-12-22T10:27:00.004+05:302009-12-22T10:51:37.106+05:30Must Read : Carlos Baena On Feedback<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzBXE91QclI/AAAAAAAADi8/YMplVPKUX9A/s1600-h/feedback.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 269px; height: 358px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Iziczy8Npfg/SzBXE91QclI/AAAAAAAADi8/YMplVPKUX9A/s400/feedback.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417926094555738706" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;" class="body"> "Everybody needs feedback, and it's a heck of a lot cheaper than paying a trainer."</span><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> - Doug Lowenstein</span><br /></div><br /><br />In any field feedback is the easiest and the fastest way to grow. If you stay isolated in your own cocoon you have no idea what you are missing.<br /><br />This goes specially in Animation where its(should be?) mandatory to get and give feedback as Animation is all about team work and bouncing off ideas can have a powerful impact(both positive and negative) on our work. Now the key here is not everyone can take or give feedback in the way it should be. In my personal experience I had many bitter experiences where in when I gave feedback, they thanked me by sending me infuriating mails asking how can I criticise their work, that I have no right to my opinions, I am in no way superior to give feedback...blah blah blah.<br /><br />And then when I asked for feedback, it was as if they had some personal grudge against me and this was their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get back at me with vengeance. They pointed all the mistakes in all aspects of my life but just leaving a small bit of it...that was in the context of my work I showed them !!!<br /><br />Now I am not saying that I am a "Yoda" in giving or taking feedback, but the examples I gave were at the two extreme opposite ends of a spectrum and clearly their reaction was not warranted at all.<br /><br />Now I can go on and on, but it seems prudent to direct you to <a href="http://www.carlosbaena.com/2009/12/on-feedback.html">read</a> what Carlos Baena(Animator, Pixar and Co-founder Animation Mentor) has to say about giving and receiving feedback.<br /><br />Though everything in that <a href="http://www.carlosbaena.com/2009/12/on-feedback.html">article</a> makes a lot of sense, there is one line which I think every Animator should have it posted somewhere where they can see it all the time :<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">"It's important to know that getting feedback is about improving a shot, and </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">not judging the animators skills</span><span style="font-weight: bold;
