Pixar..

For my animation module I have decided to do a post on one of the greatest animation studios gracing the planet today. Pixar have been making quality animated films for 17 years and have some incredibly talented animators on staff. 
             The film i'm going to talk about is 'Bugs Life'. I grew up watching this film and its only after studying animation can I appreciate the time and effort it takes to animate and render characters and environments. The most impressive thing about the film is the way the animators make you feel like one of the ants, the camera angles, and perspectives, make you feel really small and insignificant. The way the tiniest thing like a grass seed is massive and hard to carry for them.



I have also noticed the hidden cultural applications of this film as it can be applied to the USA as well as the world in general and how it is run. The film makes the point of the poor working so the rich get richer, which is essentially happening in Africa with the corrupt governments and in USA with the rich being taxed less than the poor.
