History of Animation

I mostly looked into this because of the new movie but ended up having a lot of fun. If anyone knows the best way to watch all these old movies let me know. https://discord.gg/QW7UTdftFW - Discord ServerI ended up having to many links for my sources so here is a link to the script. It has links to all of my sources at the end of it.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QaFQqf38nn3BOgamRXpDb20cZR95xreQqxu7nL8TxLQ/edit?usp=sharing

I think Oswald shows how creators need to be careful with the deals they make.

I feel like he is a bit different then most of the other people I have covered. Still really interesting.

The best way to look more into these would be to buy the book but if you can't afford to there are plenty of places online that give their own explanations.https://discord.gg/QW7UTdftFW - Discord Serverhttps://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/12-principles-of-animation/https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/animation/discover/principles-of-animation.htmlhttps://d23.com/a-to-z/nine-old-men/https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Disney%27s_Nine_Old_Menhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106731.The_Illusion_of_Life

Like I mentioned I took a brake for a few reasons. I got sick, I was busy with other projects and I also wasn't sure if I should make anything related to the studios that where getting striked. I feeling better and now that the strikes are over I want to release more episodes again. I started a discord server so please join and we can talk about animation history. I would love to know what you all want to learn more about.https://discord.gg/8yyNAwk3RYhttps://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/c8h70jzr/http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/559607/index.htmlhttps://animacam.tv/en/1803-2/https://www.britannica.com/biography/J-Stuart-Blacktonhttps://medium.com/@joedonan/before-disney-meet-the-father-of-american-animation-2f2e473fc9d1https://www.victorian-cinema.net/blackton

I remembered learning about him in school but I didn't know about how we lost so many of his films. It is really such a shame. Doing research for this podcast has made me realized how important media preservation is. On another note I am going to take a brake from posting episodes for a while. I am currently working on multiple projects and so I needed to drop something. Don't worry episodes will return.http://www.frenchfilms.org/biography/georges-melies.htmlhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm0617588/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_smhttps://www.victorian-cinema.net/melieshttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Georges-Melieshttps://www.bfi.org.uk/features/georges-melies-autobiography

This was an interesting one to look up. I mostly did this episode cause have how often I see the recreation of the motorcycle scene from it. I had no idea that it had such a high budget but it makes sense. Some of those scenes would be hard to animate today so I can only image how much it took to animate them back then.https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0960028/?ref_=tt_ov_drhttps://akira.fandom.com/wiki/Akira_(anime)https://movies.fandom.com/wiki/Akira/Productionhttps://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/story-behind-film-akira/https://www.linearity.io/blog/akira/https://row.oneblockdown.it/blogs/archive/akira-anime-sabukaru-history-lessonhttps://cinemadailyus.com/news/akira-manga-artist-katsuhiro-otomo-working-on-new-project/https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2014/05/03/books/book-reviews/akira/https://medium.com/anitay-official/katsuhiro-otomo-retrospective-akira-7e00d49ca56fhttps://www.lambiek.net/artists/o/otomo_katsuhiro.htmhttps://akiramanga.comhttps://akira.fandom.com/wiki/Akira_(manga)

I remember loving chicken run when I was growing up. I do really recommend watching his work and supporting anyone that makes stop motion films.

This was super interesting to look into. I had no idea that they had a union until now. I do hope that they gain some power and they improve the working conditions. We need artist to be happy and healthy so that they can make great art for us to enjoy.It does seem that the VFX team behind the marvel movies has voted to unionize. I defiantly would have mentioned that in this episode but I had already finished it before I heard. I wish them the best of luck.https://www.cartoonbrew.com/artist-rights/why-the-anime-industry-lacks-unions-and-how-that-could-change-a-veteran-producer-speaks-212042.htmlhttps://animationobsessive.substack.com/p/hayao-miyazaki-union-manhttps://www.denofgeek.com/movies/hayao-miyazakis-path-to-studio-ghibli/https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322909809_Blood_Sweat_Ink_and_Tears_Exploitation_of_Labour_in_the_Japanese_Animation_Industryhttps://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2021-07-21/i-have-some-horror-stories-animator-talks-industry-problems-hopes-for-the-future/.175178https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/7/2/20677237/anime-industry-japan-artists-pay-labor-abuse-neon-genesis-evangelion-netflix

before looking into this I had assumed that the reason the studio wasn't around was cause there cartoons were to old fashion or something.

Snow White is really important in animation history so I had to do an episode on it.

Labor unions serve a very important function for the industry's that have them. The history of them is also super important. Thats why I wanted to do an episode on this.

I will admit that this episode did go a bit more into Osamu Tezuka than Astro Boy. I was just really impressed by his work and wanted to make sure that everyone knows about it. If you want to watch the first episode of Astro Boy there is a link to it in my resources. Let me know if there is anything you want me to do an episode on.https://www.colorado.edu/ptea-curriculum/sites/default/files/attached-files/twentieth-handout2.pdfhttp://www.robothalloffame.org/inductees/04inductees/astro_boy.htmlhttps://manga.tokyo/otaku-articles/atom-the-beginning-on-air-what-was-so-good-about-astro-boy-in-the-first-place/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpwbNYFvZy4https://tezukaosamu.net/en/manga/?c=120https://artsandculture.google.com/story/5-secrets-about-osamu-tezuka-s-creativity-tezuka-osamu/XwXxF9ZHOxZ-Iw?hl=enhttp://tezukainenglish.com/wp/?page_id=671

This is an episode about the first animated film ever made. I wish we could see this film.
