Disney Animated app review
Though Disney Animated isn't a game, it's an interactive app teaching the hows of Disney features. I found this helpful as I learn of how Disney animated features are made, created, composed, and produced. This tool is very helpful for learning about design and creation in any animated film or video game.
Take for example Wreck-It-Ralph, which was animated using computer software. However, stories and ideas are first hand drawn, like a rough draft. This amazing app has lots of educational tools for designers in both film and video games as they illustrate what designing is like and how it's made to be genuine such as expression and movement. If rthe epression and movement didn't look real enough, it wouldn't look good at all. What else I learned is live actor models were used as inspiration and image for animated pictures, very helpful indeed as it helped give birth to Disneuy Masterpieces like Fantasia and Sleeping Beauty for example.
Characters in animated features aren't real like actors seen in live action movies so they must be created step by step. A cartoon or Computer Generated character is only as it is created based on man's creation. This also applies to backgrounds and visual effects as these don't create themselves. So much artwork to look at and so much to learn about this and even much to interact with such as demos for animations including animating Vanelloppe's animations from Wreck-It-Ralph. Also, each animated feature was made to have some central focus such as the Genie Lamp in Aladdin. Also see how each animation is captured to be real as to veer away from looking like beta to looking like gold, by gold I mean final product. Visual effects such as water, nature, and landscape are very important.
Acting and dialogue are very important for any animated feature or game as any story or dialogue is recorded before animation even starts so as to match the sounds and dialogue of the actions. What would any scene be without musical effects? You also learn about how Disney animated it's features such as going from manually capturing footage to use of computers known as CAPS(computer Animation Production System). What also makes this program great is interactive animations such as rotations which are important such as models for major objects such as the Tiger Cave in Aladdin, Cruella DeVille's car in 101 Dalmations, Pinocchio puppet in Pinochhio, Hippo Ballerina in Fantasia, and Pocahontas in Pocahontus.
Also included are timelines of the disney classics which you can open up and see other events and technology listed in the timeline. All of what Disney animations have been is all told here in this app.
