Snow White Technology

Snow White Technology

Rotoscoping

Early animation had a problem; the motion didn't look correct. This problem was solved by Max Felischer and his film. Rotoscoping worked by filming motion picture in the open, in front of a white sheet. The film gave individual films, which allowed the content on the frame to be traced, allowing for smoother animation.

Cels

Cels or celluoids are transparent sheets on which objects are drawn or painted for traditional, hand drawn animation. Snow White had 24 cels per second, which is still the industry standard for modern films. There were 200,000 cels painted for Snow White.

Technicolour

Technicolour was a huge leap forward in how realistic colours could be. It is a complicated technical process where dye is transferred to 3 separate film strips, making it very expensive. By 1932 Walt Disney was making a huge investment into Technicolour and would later buy exclusive rights to it; this ended up being a great idea.

The Multiplane Camera

It was designed to make cartoons more realistic, and intended to be used in feature length cartoon. It was simple to construct, and satisfactory. This cartoon camera was made to overcome different issues with Disney's old cartoon system. It worked by making different layered scenes, which were movable without the camera moving; it made cartoons increase in quality.

Media Blog Introduction

Introduction My name is Ben Metcalfe, and I am a media student. This blog will document my work and what I get up to in Media Studies. My favorite film is Hot Fuzz, because it tells a funny story, and is not without excitement, action, and courage. A few actors in this move also take the lead role in another film, "Shaun Of The Dead". This is also a great movie, and maybe my #2. My favorite series is Friday Night Dinner, because it is extremely funny, and features a lot of great actors. Each episode brings something new and original to the table, generating a fantastic viewing experience. My favorite music video is Crying Lightning on YouTube, by Arctic Monkeys; this is because I love Arctic Monkeys and the video includes many cool effects. I am most likely to read the Times newspaper, as it is the most trustworthy to me.
