I love animation history and one of the things that always baffled me was how did animators draw the cars in 101 Dalmatians before the advent of computer graphics?

Any rigid solid object is extremely challenging for 2D artists to animate because if one stray line isn’t kept perfectly in check, the object will seem to wobble and shift unnaturally.

Even as early as the mid 80’s Disney was using a technique where they would animate a 3D object and then apply a 2D filter to it. This practice could be applied to any solid object a character interacts with: from lanterns a character is holding, to a book (like in Atlantis), or in the most extreme cases Cybernetic parts (like in Treasure Planet).

But 101 Dalmatians was made WAY before the advent of this technology. So how did they do the Cruella car chase sequence at the end of the film?

The answer is so simple I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner:

They just BUILT the models and painted them white with black outlines 🤣

That was the trick. They’re not actually 2D animated, they’re stop motion. They were physical models painted white and filmed on a white background. The black outlines become the lineart lines and they just xeroxed the frame onto an animation cel and painted it like any other 2D animated frame.

That’s how they did it! Isn’t that amazing? It’s such a simple low tech solution but it looks so cool in the final product.

Something that I first applied to working with children, and have applied in a limited form to working with adults: you don't need to tell someone when they read your instructions wrong. Sometimes it's enough to point out what they did right and then whatever they didn't do? You ask them to do it in more precise words, and you make it sound like it's a new request. Remarkable how fast things get done this way.

[discodeerdiary]

This is also a habit I built up from emergency response training. If I say "I need you to bring me a first aid kit and an accident report" and you bring me just a first aid kit, it's so much more efficient to say "thanks now can you bring me an accident report" than "I asked you to bring an accident report why didn't you bring me one".

Once you've internalized "a person bleeding out is one of the worst times to start an argument" you start to wonder what other tasks could get accomplished without arguing

listen to me. if youre an adult you have the ability to be an unfathomably kind influence on a child. i had a good teacher who let me break down in the hallway for the whole period because he noticed me crying in class, and before that he complimented my writing skills and encouraged me to persue writing. and man ill never forget that teacher as long as i live for even the miniscule acts of kindness. be kind to kids. you never know whats going on that you cant see.

[teaboot]

that's the thing I don't get about people who are mean to kids!! "I hate kids, I don't want kids, kids are loud and shitty" like yeah? And so are most adults?? It's not their fault, they're still people, and they have zero control over anything. You don't have to bring them into your house just be kind

-Ma’am, you and… your pig can’t be here. -Is it that I can’t be here… or that I’m not allowed to be here? See I can physically be here. But what you meant to say is that you’re not allowing me to be here.

for me, world cup 2022 will always be africa's world cup. from tunisia beating defending champions france, to cameroon being the first african team to defeat brazil at a world cup and the highlight: morocco coming up against belgium, spain, portugal and heading into the semifinals as the first african team to do so.

ok but real talk? all the Brazilians who rooted for argentina are a disgrace. Mbappé deserved to be humbled after what he said, but that doesn’t mean you should be rooting for a country who’s done blackface “comedy” about our players on national TV…have some self respect. A xenophobic country lost, but a racist one won.

[weareindeedbastards]

also friendly reminder they trashed our country when crowds of them came in illegally at the 2014 wc even though police accommodated them all because Brazil had lost (and they thought it was funny) and then because they had (which they got pissed about and took it out on our cultural buildings and parks).

But yeah sure woohoo to our “hermanos” 🙃
