Sorry I haven't responded.  It doesn't seem to be sending the emails
to my account, I was lucky I checked it on egroups.com.

Anyway, I'm in the Undergrad program, but the Academy of Arts does
have a Graduate division.  The AAC is pretty expensive, just raised
to $500 a unit ( *3 units per class, *4 classes a semester =$6000 a
semester, not including books and such.  I try not to think about it.)
I can't really reccomend teh grad dept. cause I don't know anything
about it, sorry.  I haven't heard about any other good masters
programs either.

What's your first degree in, Malahat?

Thurop, how do you like it at Cal arts?  I was thinking about going
there too, but this one was closer to home, among other reasons.
That sounds really cool to work at Xantera.  Do they have a website I
can check out?

The Miracle Maker was a 2 hour claymation movie on ABC on Easter
Sunday, about the story of Jesus.  The animatin was AMAZING!! and the
puppets were so REALISTIC!!  Some of the best animation I've seen.
Here's the website that showed some production stuff.

Just try some neon paint, or bright colors, and see how the black-light makes it
glow.  Do you know how laundry detergent glows in a black light?  Best of lusk.

thank you for replying, by chance I still have that project in hand. by bright

Greetings fellow animation fanatics!!!

    My name is Chris Cauble.  I'm a 21 year old student at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, California.  I'm studying to be a stop-motion animator.  I'm almost ready to graduate, just 6 more classes.

Greetings fellow animation fanatics!!!

    My name is Chris Cauble.  I'm a 21 year old student at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, California.  I'm studying to be a stop-motion animator.  I'm almost ready to graduate, just 6 more classes.

    I love all styles of stop-motion, but I like making comedy pieces the best.  I love to make people laugh.

 

I have quite an extensive collection of stop-motion pieces I've taped from TV or otherwise, and I'll be happy to trade and share copies of stuff, especially for those hard to find animations or commercials you could be looking for.  The latest addition to my library is, of course, The Miracle Maker.  Wasn't that amazing!?  Very impressive indeed.

 

    Anyway, I hope to get to know you all well.  We stop-motion folk have to stick together, no?

Have a great weekend!

Nice to meet you Chris!

    Welcome to the quietest list in the world. I guess we're all too busy animating? Its cool that you're going to the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, Thats the one I was going to go to. I would have started last fall, but decided to try out for Calarts this September, and got in. I'm pretty excited. Right now I'm doing animation for video games at Xantera. Anyways, I haven't even heard of the Miracle Maker. Where can I download it from?

Try some bright paint and a black light.

Test the paint first to determine which one will work the best.

Blackchair Productions' Independent Exposure(tm) Program

Seattle video and film artist, Joel S. Bachar founded Blackchair Productions in
1992.
Due to the overwhelming lack of independent-oriented screening venues,
Blackchair Productions began the Independent Exposure Microcinema screening
program in 1996.  This program, held every month at the Speakeasy Café's
Backroom in Seattle, has presented the short film, video and digital works of
over 300 artists from 91 cities in 39 states and 13 countries. The program has
also gained an enviable reputation in the international microcinema network
maintained in 50 cities, 20 states and 20 countries!
2000 is not only the fifth season of Independent Exposure, but it is marks the
beginning of Blackchair Productions' newest venture, Microcinema.com.
Microcinema.com will serve the international film, video, and digital
communities and its audiences by leading the Microcinema movement and will
promote artists and their works through its international offline and online
exhibition and distribution network.
Ultimately, Blackchair Productions, through their Distribution through
Exhibition efforts, microcinema.com website, and other advocacy efforts,
Blackchair Productions hope to expose, promote and distribute the independent
video, film and digital arts to the widest audience possible.

For those interested, here is our Distribution through Exhibition Call for Works

to include you in the show!  Artists will be paid an honorarium AND will qualify
for a non-exclusive distribution deal, which will include additional license
fees for international offline and online sales!  We are looking for short
experimental, narrative, alternative, avant-garde, humorous, dramatic, erotic,
subversive, animation and underground works.  Works selected will, in most
cases, continue on to national and international venues for additional

Netcasting via our microcinema.com website. Submit a VHS/or S-VHS (NTSC

thanks Chris. Yes , Glow worm is the word.
I have never seen a fluoroscent paint though.. ofcourse I am not much an
expert in materials. Is that, oil paint or what.
does it have a silver tint or is it in pink and blue and green.etc?

I think you're either talking about "glow worms" or "lightning bugs".
      Either way, the easiest way I can think of to make them glow would be
      phosphorescent paint.  Then just hit them with a strong light like a
      camera flash or spotlight right before filming each frame.

      Also, a good way to cut down on unwanted shadows is a fairly strong
      light directly over the scene.  I've had good results in the past
      using a plain florescent desk lamp.  That gives the scene a "softer"
      look, but can add a very slight bluish tint on some types of film.
      However, that is minimized by the other lights.  The lamp I used is
      the circular kind with the magnifying lens in the center manufactured
      by "Dana Lighting".  That lamp has SO MANY uses.

      Anyway, I hope at least one of these tips are useful to you.

This might be a good place to start:
      http://www.asifa.org/~asifa/schools.htm
      There are a lot of links to some pretty good schools, mostly in the
      United States though.

      Also look here:
      http://www.animamundi.com.br/home_e/eAMhm.html
      It's a yearly festival with a lot of well known animators.  It also
      looks like they have workshops.

      You might also want to get in contact with the Brazilian Film Board.
      I hear they occasionally offer classes.


      Good luck,
      Chris

Hi,
Gee, this list is quiet.  I almost forgot I had subscribed.
Its spelled 'zoetrope' like Coppola's American Zoetrope Studio.  You can
make one out of a paperboard cylinder. Here's a link to a build your own
site. http://www.physik.fu-berlin.de/~eggersg/zoetrope.html

I ran a search on Hotbot for the exact phrase 'zoetrope' must not contain
the person 'Coppola' must not contain the word 'american'

Hello,
Please excuse me, I am new to this list and hope that I'm not breaking any
netiquette.  I also was wondering if anybody could give me some information
on where and how to buy armature kits in general (URLs, mail order
companies, and or retail stores in the LA area).  Most animation books that
I have seen don't really list resources.  Oh yeah, and price really isn't an
issue. I really appreciated the info on making your own and will try it, but
I'm not sure I'm that gifted with hardware stuff.

Thanks,

Lane Langmade
lane.langmade@...

I like easy questions like this one! I've had poor results trying to find
information about armatures. What I have found is expensive. My last
armature by mail was $120 -- kinda steep for a hobby.

So, we make our own with help from the local hobby shop and the hardware
store (a REAL hardware store). We sketch the creature's layout (full size)
and draw in an armature to do what we want. We use square brass stock for
backbones and hand sockets. The head and hands are removable, of course.

The tricky elbows, knees and ankles are made from large light-chain
connectors (used to connect 2 light chains together). The connectors are
about 4 cents each and are soldered onto the brass arm or forearm or leg or
etc. Add 3 balls of light chain thusly: 1 for each connector and one in the
center for a pivot point. If the joint needs very limited range, omit the
center ball (use only 2 balls).

To make the joints sturdy, we take heavy copper (telephone) wire and wind it
around a piece of round brass stock (1/16") a couple of times to form
close-spaced loops. Plan ahead and leave a long enough wire on each end. The
ends get twisted around the brass leg/arm up above the connector and
soldered in place (work quickly to avoid unsoldering your joint!) .  Wrap
the joints with plumbers tape to keep out the clay. It gives a flexible,
very inexpensive armature (About $2 USD + your time for an entire armature).
Glue some magnets to the bottoms of the feet, add the clay, and your
creature will be walking around in no time (use galvanized steel under your
work)!

Good Luck!

Sincerely,
Karl Williamson
http://KaViar-Studios.com

There is lots of info out there about ball joints
and ball and socket for your armatures but what
about the knee and elbow joints.
Any help on how these are built and there sizes
would be great.

Blackchair Productions  Independent Exposure 1999 Program

Seattle video and film artist, Joel S. Bachar founded Blackchair Productions in
1992.  Due
to the overwhelming lack of independent-oriented screening venues, Blackchair
Productions began
the Independent Exposure microcinema screening program in 1996.  This program,
held every
month at the Speakeasy Cafe has presented the short works of over 300 artists
from 78 cities in
33 states and 12 countries and has gained an enviable reputation in the network
of microcinemas
around the country as well as around the world. 1999,  the fourth season of the
program, is
partially funded by the King County Cultural Arts Commission which means the
artists whose works
are shown will be paid an honorarium, a gesture that is practically unheard of
in the independent
film and video arts.  Independent Exposure is fast reaching a wider audience by
being hosted at
other microcinemas throughout the world and has been seen hundreds of times in
40 cities,
17 states and 15 countries!
Some of the hosting venues have been:
Cinema-Rex (Belgrade, Serbia); Cine-Fantom (Moscow, Russia); Project304
(Bangkok, Thailand);
The Terminal Bar (Prague, Czech Republic); REVelation Film Festival (Australia);
Volcano Film and
Video Festival (London, UK); the Vrij Media Cafe (The Netherlands); The Soros
Center for
Contemporary Art (Skopje, Macedonia); Videomedeja Festival (Novi Sad, Serbia);
the Eiga Arts
center in Japan;  CinemaTexas (Austin, TX); The Knitting Factory (New York
City);  The Mansion
Theatre (Baltimore, MD);  Arizona International Film Festival (Tucson, AZ); Blue
Sky International
Film Festival (Las Vegas, NV); No Dance Festival (Park City, UT);  Basement
Films (Albuquerque,
NM); IMAGE Film and Video Center (Atlanta, GA); and Artist’s Television Access
(San Francisco,
CA).
Additionally, the program is netcast every month on
The Sync (www.thesync.com).
Ultimately, Blackchair Productions, through their Independent Exposure screening
program and other advocacy efforts, hope to expose, promote and distribute the
independent
video and film arts to the widest audience possible.

For those interested, here is our 1999 Call for Works (which differs from
previous years):

Blackchair Productions is accepting short video, film and digital-media
submissions on an ongoing
basis for their monthly screening program called Independent Exposure.  1999 is
the fourth year
of the program and we want to include you in the show!  Artists will be paid an
Honorarium!  We
are looking for short experimental, narrative, humorous, dramatic, erotic,
subversive, animation
and underground works, but will review anything for a possible screening.  Works
selected will, in
most cases, continue on to national and international venues for additional
screenings. Submit a
VHS/or S-VHS (NTSC preferred) clearly labeled with name, title, length,
phone-number along with
any support materials including photos!  Also include a US$5.00 entry fee and an
SASE if you
wish the work(s) returned. We will get back to you!
