An animated film that I like is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse because the movie came out on my birthday, so me and my friend saw it at Times Square and both the movie, and the audience made a great experience that I won’t soon forget. I really loved the characters because they were all funny and relatable and iconic in their own right. The animation really stood out to me especially because it is a major upgrade from last movie where the big thing with the animation is that it was kind of choppy, but with this animation in Across the Spider-Verse, the color really pops out at you and even in Gwen Stacy’s dimension they use watercolor to signify the emotional impact of each scene which was really cool, and Spider-Punk was animated differently because instead of being animated on 2s like every other character, he is animated on 3s, which means he gets put in a different pose every 3 frames, making him have the choppiest animation but it looks really cool with his newspaper look. The movie was made by Sony Pictures Animation in association with Marvel Entertainment and released on June 2nd, 2023.

Hello everyone my name is James Encalada, my major is animation and motion graphics. I chose this course because I like art and everything about art, in the future I want to learn a lot about 3D design, and my goals are to be able to have my own studio. I really like science fiction series and movies, especially the ones that have to do with mythological or weird creatures, my hobbies are listening to music, playing video games, and doing any kind of sport or exercise.

Some of my favorite animated series are “Regular Show” (2010-2017) by James Garland Quintel and “Adventure Time” (2010-2018) by Pendleton Ward, both are from Cartoon Network. These series are my favorite because of their hand-drawn animation and everything is so surreal.

I guess an animated film I like is “The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh” (1977). Based on the books by A. A. Milne, the film was animated at Walt Disney Animation Studios. What I like about this film is its calm nature, its storybook-like style, and the film’s hand-drawn animation. Interestingly the film itself is a combination of shorter “Winnie The Pooh” animations that were released earlier on.
