Avatar


Avatar is a sky-FY film created by James Cameron in 2009, this film is set on a strange planet called Pandora in the year 2154. Pandora is a planet where Even the plants want to kill the R.D.A


A.K.A humans who encounter there journey here. The plot of the story line is a R.D.A guy has lost his legs so he gets fired then after that he gets sick of what the doctor says he cant do so he decides to encounter the mission which hes brother started who is now dead. Most people need years of experience to come to Pandora, but he comes with no experience what so ever, every one thinks hes gonna Die out there. Your probably wondering whats this got to do with the name avatar well I'm just about to get to that part so be penitent... The people want to mine rocks worth thousands and get loads of money on the new planet but they have one problem the Na,via Have already taken this planet but with the solders D.N.A they make them selves look like Na,vi (massive blue people) but they first must get in this bed which transfers them into the second body. But Jake Sully the wheel chair user becomes on the Na,vi side so it becomes a massive war and the humans are force to go back to there home planet a.k.a earth.



Avatar was actually thought of by James Cameron in 1994 and he wrote a 80 page script in apparently two weeks said Cameron. In a short interview on the focus magazine Cameron said "When i first wrote Avatar,we just didn't think we could do it. everyone just shut me down. the technology just wasn't there yet." he also said "our innovations include image-based facial performance capture-no-one was doing it in this way-giving us much more Fidelity in the actors performance, and accuracy in the eye movements all of this is used by C.G computer generated."
Computer generated
Computer-generated imagery[1] (also known as CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics or, more specifically, 3D computer graphics to special effects in films, television programs, commercials, simulators and simulation generally, and printed media. Video games usually use real-time red "cut scenes" and intro movies that would be typical CGI applications. These are sometimes referred to as FMV (Full motion video).
CGI is used for visual effects because computer generated effects are more controllable than other more physically based processes, such as constructing
miniatures for effects shots or hiring extras for crowd scenes, and because it allows the creation of images that would not be feasible using any other technology. It can also allow a single graphic artist to produce such content without the use of actors, expensive set pieces, or props.
3D computer graphics software is used to make computer-generated imagery for movies, etc. Recent availability of CGI software and increased computer speeds have allowed individual artists and small companies to produce professional grade films, games, and fine art from their home computers.
Simulators, particularly flight simulators, and simulation generally, make extensive use of CGI techniques for representing the outside world.
James Cameroon has already mad Titanic and terminator 2 and now Avatar in 3d wow this guy is just getting better by the minute one day he might even be just as good or better than Steven Spielberg.

Wait don't go i now what i just said might be offensive to Jurassic park lovers but i haven't said why i like Avatar the movie. The reason why i like Avatar so much is because its amazing its unique its like a cherry on a cake its so different from any other film that's why i like it so much.

The Simpson's is an animated cartoon about a family which are yellow. The maker of the Simpson's is called Mat Groening for the fox broad casting company. Matt Groening named the characters after his own family. The Simpson's was released on April the 19Th 1987 on the Tracy Ull man show.

The four main cast mabers names are

Artists at the U.S. animation studio, Film Roman, draw storyboard, design new characters, backgrounds, props and draw character and background layouts, which in turn become animations to be screened for the writers at Gracie Films for any changes to be made before the work is shipped overseas. The overseas studios then draw the imbertweens,ink and paint, and render the animation to tape before it is shipped back to the United States to be delivered to Fox three to four months later. It was origanly coloured buy hand but now is coloured on the computer because of a better fainal project.

The plot for the Simpson's is a jokey look at an American family, based on Groening real family,and makes fun of popular culture.

I like the Simpson's because its funny and makes me laugh and it inspires me and many other people to make animations.

Wallace and Gromit

Wallace and gromit

Wallace and gromit was made by Nick Park of Ardman Animations.

Wallace and gromit first started with A Grand Day Out realised on 1998.
This is the order of the animations after that.
The wrong trousers(1993)
A Close Shave(1995)
Cracking Contraptions(2002)
The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit(2005)
Wallace And Gromit World Of Animations(2010)
Cracking Contraptions consist of 10 stopmotion animations.


The plot of Wallace and Gromit is jokey were Wallace isn't the brightest kid in town and Gromit is always trying to show him the obvious before its to late.

Wallace and Gromit is made by using stop motion animation, stopmotion animation is used by taking a picture changing the pose and taking another picture and then putting all the images together to make one big film. All the characters in Wallace and Gromit are made out of clay and that's why it takes years for a film to be made.

I like Wallace and Gromit because it is amazing animation and it is funny.
