hishe animation

So for this week's blog I decided to research one of my favorite cartoons, How it Should Have Ended, better known as hishe.  I found out alot about hishe's animation process this week, mainly that the entire cartoon is done using one of my favorite software programs, after effects.  What happens is each character is made part by part ad then peiced together and seperately animated to bring a character to life.  What impressed me the most was that every character had a different style, so each individual character was animated with its own flair, all by one guy.  I ussualy love after effects, but the tasks that this guy did looked like it was enough to make me hit my head against a wall.  None the less, it looks like the guy has fun with his job, and overall in my opinion, hishe is the best modern day cartoon on the web.

Avengers

Alright, so for this week, I decided to go out and see the movie the avengers, and I was thoroughly blown away. Not only did the actors do an incredible job, but so did the story writers. Although there was a completely different actor for the hulk, he did a fantastic job at filling in, and overall, each character shared the spotlight with performances that in other movies could easily steal the show. In addition, the avengers dealt with very realistic and convincing animation, and was able to bring the world of comic heroes to life. All in all, the avengers gas won my nomination for the best superhero movie ever, and has a good chance of winning.

Rango

 Ok, so over the weekend I was able to have the opportunity to watch the movie Rango, and was thoroughly impressed.  The movie was animated to what I believe was the best of its ability.  The voice acting brought the characters to life, and the action and slapstick humor was enough to keep me interested to the end.  The plot wasn't particularly great, but the movie was still able to keep everything funny and interesting.  All in all, I would say that this movie is a keeper, and that one should go out and get it.
