I chose to answer Prompt 2.

Being an audience member at one of Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” shows in 1797 would have probably shocked me, initially considering the period but then I would have been amazed. Gaspard incorporated creepy animated puppets in combination with the ominous environment like smoke, and skulls on the walls to capture the horror. I enjoy horror now so I would have wanted to see this groundbreaking performance more often. I think the kind of entertainment that could elicit some of the same emotions is horror. The horror genre itself is so vast but slashers and paranormal are categories that could still scare and shock most people when done right.

My name is Taylor Fields-Scott. I chose this course to learn how and why animation is so important. I grew up watching so many different styles and genres of animation. I am interested in the early Disney era of animation. Despite the time, they were able to create such complex work. My major is Multimedia Programming & Design. I am not so sure what I want to do in the future, but I do know I want a career in media and/or tech. I like playing reading, and watching new movies. I have 4 cats and my favorite food is any kind of sandwich.

Prompt 2

My favorite animated film is Coraline. The story and animation design is comforting. I loved the way the characters were designed and moved. The studio that made the film is Laika, it took them 4 years to produce the film, it was released in 2009.
