Deja View: Harry Rountree
Deja View: Harry Rountree:
He is one of the best illustrators when it comes to anthropomorphic animals.
The way Rountree depicts rabbits, squirrels, foxes and other animals is very unique and appealing. You could take any one of his designs and animate them.

John The Animator Guy: The Joker Running Away In Perspective
John The Animator Guy: The Joker Running Away In Perspective:
Animating a figure moving away from camera into the distance is not as easy as it looks. Here are the drawings, rough background, and x-sheet for the Joker running away in perspective. The final color version in the commercial was tilted counterclockwise approximately 15 to 20%. It was also a little shorter at the end, cutting just before the Joker lands after he clicks his heels. (see the Joker commercial clip in my post from Saturday, July 30, 2011 "Batman Zellers Commercial Series")

NewTech: Jason Saragih's Facial Puppetry
Facial Puppetry
This project aims at developing methods that enable natural communication over a distance without revealing one’s identity. The problem consists of two components: real-time generic face tracking and facial expression transfer (i.e. rigging). In order to be a useful tool for communication, the system must be capable of real-time performance on typical hardware (i.e. a laptop). The system should also enable users to generate their own avatars without too much effort of know how. The system requires only a single image of the desired avatar.

ESPN: 30 for 30 ... 30 sports documentaries for 30 years
"Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to unite in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination."

Eleanor Audley was a great character actress, her roles were mostly in TV.
She could be seen in shows like "I love Lucy", "Green Acres", "My Three Sons"
and many others.
Her most famous film roles were with Disney. She voiced and provided live action reference for two classic female villains, the stepmother in "Cinderella" and Maleficent in "Sleeping Beauty".
Frank Thomas and Marc Davis couldn't say enough good things about working with her. She was a perfectionist.
