The short film I will choose is called “Opus I”. The reason for choosing this is due to how aesthetic and eye-catching it was at first glance. You are given an array of colors and shapes that is accompanied with music. This creates a flow in my mind that relaxes me- sorta like how some people resort to measures for stress relief- orchestra sometimes soothes my mind of it’s stress and troubles.

I may have forgot the outline part. I’m unsure of that part. if you do see this, can you respond to this so I can know what to add?

Prompt 3:

I could imagine myself at his shows in 1797. Why I could do so- its because I have this ambition to make animations myself. I was on youtube and i seen this video of one of his shows ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1d28X0lkJ4 ) and I found the experience of the show to be enticingly unique. He used stop motion to portray a creative vision in his head that continuously captured my attention because of how random it was.
I’d compare it to thriller because of the fact it captured my attention the more I watched it.

The film I chose for my short paper is Silly Symphonies – the skeleton dance.

The reason why I chose this film is that I’m very drawn to the combination between both the animation and the music. I’ve loved this animation since I was very young. This is one of the very first animations of Disney, and also one of the first animations where they wrote the music alongside the animation. I think it would be an exciting topic for me to write about. 

The elements I will be writing about – 

1. Ub Iwerks and his early work with Disney.
2. Silly symphony series and its impact.
3. On making this film and the story that stands behind it.
4. The recognition of the film.
5. The effect of synchronized sound on the industry of animated films.
6. Later works of animation and all forms of art (movies, music, paintings, dances) that were influenced by this animation.

Prompt 2)

My favorite animated tv show is Dragon ball, I grew up watching the tv show and still enjoy watching it until now. I really like the main character named Goku, because they show you how he has grown up from a child to a legend and he looks so great. The animation and the past story of Goku show on the Tv series of how he has become from a mere mortal to a God that other gods fear his potential.

Dragon ball was created by Akira Toriyama back in 1984, and the beloved Japanese media franchise went on to spawn several manga, anime series, and film adaptations.
