Prompt 3:

If I was a member at one of the Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” shows I would definitely experience shock and surprise from being able to see these creatures floating around, while they also appeared out of nowhere. The closest form of entertainment that would give off a similar emotion today would be using a VR headset for the first time. Being inside the game and being able to look around convincing your brain that you are actually experiencing all the events that occur.

Miguel Torres – Prompt 1

My name is Miguel. I am an animation and motion graphics major I picked this course to learn more about the thing I want to do in the furure. I’m more interested in traditional animation and anime. My goal is to learn more about animation and how it came to be, and how I can apply it into my own practice.

Prompt 3
If I were at one of Gaspard Robertson’s “Fantasmagorie” shows in 1797, I’d be a bit in fear like everyone else, but also fascinated. Things of the supernatural such as demons, ghosts, skeletal beings, and such are very interesting to me and I find them more appealing to the eye. I would think that the same would go for horror films from any era or region of the world. I personally really enjoy the detailing and sculpting of bat-winged skulls on Robertson’s tomb. It sets the “paranormal aesthetic” he incorporated into his shows.
