Don Bluth. Anastasia, All Dogs go to heaven, An American Tail, and the land before time.

2 Artistically, what did you like about this film?

I thought the Animation was really good for it not being a Disney film. I was never a fan of this type of animation but all of the backgrounds look superb and the movie looked really well made. Also I loved the way each character had a specific item that showcased their personality.

2D Final Illustration

Part 1 of Final Illustration

I decided to be a little bit ambitious after my second composition of Batgirl . I chose to do a variation of girls in the city. I drew them with perspective in mind and dynamic poses.  After sketching I went in and cleaned up my line work.

So here's a second version with colors.... It's still not fully complete. I plan on taking the background into maya and making a brick wall background. Then paint over it with this perspective in mind. Also I'm going to touch up some of the girls and their colors.

The Thing

John Carpenter. Halloween, Escape form New York, Dark Star, the Fog. He also help write on the seventh episode of the second season of Stranger Things.

2 Artistically, what did you like about this film?

This film has a really intense way for bring out special effects. I'm not sure how it's done but for the 80's it's probably one of the most disturbing models I've seen. The imagination as to how the people morphed was out of this world literally. \

3. Who is the thing at the end of the movie ?

It's up inn the air who is. The last person we actually seen physically as the Thing did die. However the way it ended with the two guys not knowing gives the more an open ending.

This old photo is a very poor showcase of the first iteration of this project. I didn't have much time spent on it as I would've like. However I really turned it around for Version 2!

The 5th Element

Luc Besson was the director. He also did Taxi, the Transporter, Taken, and Lucy.

2 Artistically, what did you like about this film?

I love the high contrast in colors. Each main character had a main color that was exaggerated vividly. For instance Leeloo was colored with a electric orange and Diva Plavalaguna was extreme blue. They Actually did this moore for all of the aliens.

3. What actor played the role of Zorg?

Gary Oldman

Alien

1. Who was the director of the film? What other movies has this director produced?


Ridley Scott. The Martian, Blade Runner, Prometheus, and Hannibal.

2 Artistically, what did you like about this film?


First of all, Alien is one of my favorite films! I love the use of color and light throughout the entire movie. There were moments where it went from super bright areas to really dark scenes making it really hard to see the xenomorph. You could tell that they really want to capture the suspense of the alien by doing this. When they got to the unknown planet, the weather and lighting used to make the place look rugged was also really cool. I know that this was made in the 70's but for the time period, the the movement of the baby xenomorph was amazing. Also the animation of the face hugger tail looked realistic.

3. What is the name of Ripley's cat?


Her cat name was Jones (Jonesy).
