DESIGN: Assignment 8
First of all I love the TED talks. They are always so inspirational, and so informative. It is great to hear amazing speakers (who are in my industry) speak about amazing things.
Tim Brown’s talk about the importance of creativity and fun in the workplace and in our lives was so wonderful. It’s true that as adults we judge our own ideas, and censor them. This inhibits us from freely generating concepts. I feel that as we get older we think more and more “inside the box”, mostly due to fear. But if we are constantly encouraged, but our peers and our environment, the possibilities are endless.

DESIGN: Assignment 5 Reading
In reading The 12 Principles of Animation it seemed that all of these animation techniques seemed so obvious. Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas talked about how a lot of these methods were not very obvious during the early days of animation. Through experimentation and time, eventually these principles were developed.
When reading through them, they all seemed so self-explanatory. I wonder if background in dance and choreography has something to do with this. It could be that dance is almost like live action animation.The principles that I think relate the most were staging, follow through, and timing. It could be that dance is almost like live action animation.
