That address is:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sketchbloginson.blogspot.com/">http://sketchbloginson.blogspot.com</a> !</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center; clear: both;"><a href="http://sketchbloginson.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_merbfjYjVMg/SHWHvnW2HgI/AAAAAAAAAkM/vSir7N061BU/s400-R/excited-piggy_green.jpg" style="border: 0pt none ;" /></a></div>
<br />
Why the change you may ask? Well, I've been posting a lot of links, news, and things that do not fall under the category of "Bill's Art". (I also didn't really like the way the address looked without an apostrophe - bill sart?) The good news is that Blogger has a new "import blog" feature and I won't lose any of my old posts. Hooray! Now <a href="http://sketchbloginson.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default">update those feed readers</a>! And while you're at it, take a minute to check out the actual page outside of a reader - I made a fancy new header just for you.Bill Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06559832218267916942noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11456287.post-70864633259423903222008-06-22T20:26:00.001-07:002008-06-22T20:28:25.024-07:00Woodford County Vineyard<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_merbfjYjVMg/SF8YE_YcRtI/AAAAAAAAAjU/hIUOBy_eVJo/s1600-h/vineyard_web.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_merbfjYjVMg/SF8YE_YcRtI/AAAAAAAAAjU/hIUOBy_eVJo/s400/vineyard_web.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214913367530817234" border="0" /></a>Artrage and Photoshop...trying something a little different.

Here's hoping this movie is still good!Bill Robinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06559832218267916942noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11456287.post-39457055558273181802008-06-15T09:53:00.000-07:002008-06-15T14:40:41.108-07:00Kung Fu Panda, 2D style.If you've seen the film, you were likely impressed by the incredible 2D opening for Kung Fu Panda done by <a href="http://www.jamesbaxteranimation.com/">James Baxter</a>. If you'd like to watch a streaming version of the opening, <a href="http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-us&vid=85627202-b0b2-4cf4-a92c-be2043fab541">click here</a>. For all you animation nuts out there, Kevin Koch of the Synchrolux blog has been kind enough to create a <a href="http://www.synchrolux.com/?p=242#more-242">quicktime file</a> that you can frame-by-frame through.<br /><br />When this animation first came up on screen it basically took my breath away. I haven't seen something handdrawn that looked this great in quite a long time. The closest thing would probably be the <a href="http://www.jamesbaxteranimation.com/assets03/recent/enchanted_animation_reel.html">animated bits in Enchanted</a>, (also by James Baxter), but those had the classic Disney look to them and the KFP opening is something completely different. It feels a bit like anime, a bit like Sin City, and a bit like some crazy Chinese graphic novel written by a Disney animator. Absolutely beautiful design, textures, animation, and hilarious writing.<br /><br />Anyone have any knowledge about the actual production process involved with this project? I'm gonna go ahead and say it looks like full hand drawn animation that was then brought into photoshop and painted frame by frame. Though there are some bits that could possibly be toon shaded 3D work. And other stuff looks like plain old Flash or After Effects cutout style.<br /><br />You may also notice that in the "Art of" book there are a bunch of unused designs for Tai Lung's army. I'm happy to see that they ended up here in the opening sequence because the designs carry over so well in this 2D style. Also, the book has the storyboards for this entire sequence - they are quite faithful to the final movie.<br /><br />I have assembled 30 or so still shots from the opening, quite fun to look at. The opening goes so fast (but what a glorious 2 minutes and 28 seconds) that the still frames really let you absorb the design. Enjoy:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Edit:</span> The end credits, produced by Shine and Baxter, are available <a href="http://www.shinestudioclients.com/ShinePress/ShineKungFuPandaMovie.html">here</a>.

I assume that's supposed to be a Raggedy Ann Doll but it really looks like a dismembered child shoved in a box. And look at that creepy rabbit and the expression on the teddy bear's face.

I saw an early screening of it here at the Metreon in San Francisco last Tuesday with a bunch of my animator friends and everyone enjoyed it. The story is very strong, the characters are likable, the design is beautiful, and it's the perfect blend of comedy and drama. The voice acting is great - Jack Black is terrific as Po and Dustin Hoffman pulls off Shifu with ease.<br /><br />Clip:<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tkV4yWHs-hk&hl=en"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tkV4yWHs-hk&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />I bought the "Art of" book a week ago and it is awesome.
