Ben pu Dai week 10 Prompt 2

There’s a lot of popular anime between 2019-2022, like Attack on Titan, Demon slayer, Jojo, and etc… . The Genere those anime is mostly action+advanture. The general story is mostly about fighting with amazing effects added to it and travels to solve the hidden story. I think it is mostly on Netflix or 9anime for people to watch it, since I quit anime a long time ago I don’t really know. It resonates with American audiences probably just the anime culture and memes. I say half and half because anime in Japanese culture is on another level when compared to other countries.

Grub hub commercials ads it like a virus spreading the internet during the pandemic. This commercial ad worked because the sounds were very catchy, a simple storyline, and food. It is just about food delivery ads during the pandemic, then it becomes a meme, and people start to remake it and others post a video about the story behind it. The color was rich, nothing dark in the ads, very fast forward.

Ben pu Dai Prompt 2

The Czech government refused to distribute Jiří Trnka’ s short film “The Hand” (1965) because of rebelling. From the beginning of the movie to the end, you can see the white glove hand trying to control or brainwash the man(main character) no matter how hard he fights back, even at his death the hand still did a funeral for him. It probably represents you live to be my slave and die to be my ghost, the hand is everywhere there is no escape for people. That’s why I think the Czech government refused to distribute Jiří Trnka’ s short film “The Hand”.

Ben pu Dai prompt 2 week7

At the beginning of ” Private Snafu – Fighting Toolsvate Snafu” you can hear an excited and victory background sounding playing. Then it shows us a newspaper the topic of “Battle reports prove… best armed in the world” at that part we can understand U.S. soldiers are very strong with the best-armed weapon. When the camera zooms in the center you can see “U.S. Rifle Proven deadly” then it shows “our fighting tools unbeatable…proper care” at this part you can already tell the humor of the words because of proper care. Later in the film, you can see a U.S. soldier grabs the rifle(claimed to be deadly) from the mud, trying to shoot the German solider, something ironic happened since the rifle was garbed from the mud it was full of mud on side of the rifle so you can’t shot the bullets out. Then the U.S. used a machine gun, a few seconds later it broke apart from lack of care, German soldier the replyed with “our weapon works fine because we gave them great care”. That was the funny part because the U.S. didn’t take care of their firearm, opposite to the newspaper, they are not deadly anymore from the lack of care. The animation “Private Snafu – Fighting Toolsvate Snafu” wants U.S. soldiers to take care of their weapons and don’t disobey the rule.

In the film, the sound is used to emphasize the action from the beginning to the end because without a sound the film(clip) will a story different, sounds are very important in any video and film, sounds being feelings and emotion so the audience can feel the same way as in the film(movie). In the scene from the goat playing music, without the sounds, you won’t be able to know what music was Mickey and Minnie playing to the audience. Music plays a big role in the movie because if it is sad music you would feel upset if a happy one people would feel excited, without it, it can a challenge for the audience to react. Also in the goat scene, Minnie was playing something exciting so Mickey reacts to it with excitement and plays along with it, with more sounds.

The topic for my short paper will be “Steamboat Willie”

I was drawn to this film because it hard to Imagine it a 19 century , and the way how minnie plays with the goats tail for songs was shock at little,it just the ideal and unique sounds in the scenes was fun to watch, and it was very playful.

  1. When was it created?
  2. Who influence the design of Mickey Mouse?
  3. Is there any predesgin for Mickey Mouse?

  8. Any obstacle when making the film?

Ben pu Dai Journal Entry 2 – Prompt 3

Can you imagine being an audience remember at one of Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” shows in 1797? What do you think your reaction would have been? Can you think of any form of entertainment that would elicit the same emotions today? (Re-)read/watch these resources for inspiration:

I would be terrified because when the film isn’t popular during that time, it is like modern time when something can’t be proven by science we would be in fear. When comparing current time and back then because since there’s a lot of horror film in modern time but when you compare it that back then you can easily tell why people can say the “gosht were real”, from the lack of experience. Probably any horror movies because I’m not a fan of that category.

Hi, my name is Ben pu Dai, you can just call me Ben a simpler way. I picked this course because it is a requirement for my major(Animation and motion graphics) and it is also about the history of animation which I need it too. About animation, I’m very curious about how people add those effects to the animation, as well as how many drawings are in each frames. my major is Animation and motion graphics. My career goal would be to find a job in the animation industry. Favorite food would be chicken, fruits would be durian.
