Article 2

• 3 things I learned from the article is that I didn't know Paramount Pictures is finished with distributing films. The second is Anchorman 2 was the last film they will distribute on 35 millimeter film. The third is 20th Century Fox threatened the same action taken by Paramount Pictures.
• 2 things I liked about the article is the interesting case they have with these major film distributers. Also  how easy it is to understand this article. Los Angeles times did a nice job with the text.
• 1 question I have is why are these corporations dropping movie theater productions?

• 3 things I learned from Carlos Baernas' page is how to plan before filming/animating. Like how you have to really decide what your main character has to be like, or who he is. Then you have to really decide where and when your film is taking place. You may have to think where you can go to film it.
• 2 things/opinions I had were, it was helpful to know how to prepare your main protagonist to really give him a personality, and special abilities. The second was that I really don't plan well, so now I can think twice about improv.
• 1 Question I have is if you animate a scene, and then decide not to use it, do you scrap it, or turn it into something else.

• The first being, this article tells you to really be yourself when you begin to prep for your film. Make your film incorporate all your feelings, and what you like, how you think you should do it. I thought that was kind of interesting.
• The second thing is, I really like how the author of this wrote the article. This is kind of a starting point reference if you really need to use it. It will help guide you to an idea, or story you like.
• Lastly, one question I have is what kind of budget do you need to make a "decent' film at least. Can you make a great film without a budget?

• 3 things I learned from the headless horseman article, is that you can put on green mask on your subjects' head, and completely erase it from the shot.
• The 2nd technique is learned is when that "thing" jumps of the stair set and turns into gravel or dirt, the editors pause the frame and mask out the subject and replaces it with the new subject.
• The last method I learned is to make an ordinary object move, and animate itself. There are so many layers that go into animating such a simple couple seconds of footage.
