Disney's "Tangled" Character Design Development. Once "Rapunzel", then "Rapunzel Unbraided", and now "Tangled", Disney's 50th animated Feature film, set for release November 28th, has gone through many changes throughout it's years in development. One thing that hasn't changed much, though, is the artistic influence of two artists in particular. One was the French Rococo painter Jean-Honorer Fragonard, specifically one of his best known works; “The Swing” which inspired the lush fairy tale world that Rapunzel inhabits. The second is animation legend Glen Keane, who was the original driving force behind the film. Early concept art: Glen Keane's drawings: Final character: Flynn Rider (Students: keep these expression sheets in mind when doing your final projects!) Final Character: Mother Gothel: A few other character designs.
Wedding Photography Blog Confessions of a Movie Buff November | 2010 | 8bitengine [update] check out my review on Tangled here In an earlier post I raised the 2D vs 3D debate again and questioned whether we would ever reach the lifeliness of 2D animation in 3D. I have only seen the trailers and the snippets, but I think the new Disney movie “Tangled” might be the future for 3D animation. I also noted that the Pixar movies is one of the few 3D animatiosn in the entire industry (including games) that matches the liveliness of 2D animation. I read this interview of Glenn Keane, Animation director on Tangled and general legendary animator) and from the get-go they set out to close the distance between the Classic 2D animation style and 3D. ["Oh, Glen, what I was wondering is: What is she thinking?" This is something I recognize from drawing faces and expressions myself. Now again, I cannot say for sure, because I do not have an inside view into the process that went about. Let’s see if the actual movie can bring back the feeling of Disney’s Golden age.

Part one can be found here. Expression Model Sheets are sometimes specially created as such, but often are compiled from scene samples, both in rough form and from final line/ clean up drawings. Note how some of these sheets include full body poses. Body language can add enormously to an expression. Just check out the body language of these characters and notice how well the action line and gestures harmonize with the facial expressions: Often times when two characters appear together frequently throughout a film, a duel model sheet featuring both characters can be created. Obviously there are several formats for creating an engaging and effective expression model sheet. Instead, vary the view to correlate with the emotion you are portraying.

Not only that, but I thought I was a pretty darn good Christian too. (Even though I’ve been saved three different times. The third time was the charm – I think is what they say – but I haven’t found it anywhere in the Bible yet.) But something wasn’t right. I didn’t want to grab her ass. Rewind to an evening with a few drinks and a pretty girl I’d met earlier that day. I didn’t want that. Other men want this sort of offer from a woman, right? Why didn’t I? I wanted sex. Because I am a man. And the truth is we want to have sex. But damn it, we want so. much. more. Hollywood has lied to us. And we are very pissed off about it. Because the lie is good and easy to believe, and no man likes to be taken advantage of. So we turn to pornography and strip clubs and Maxim magazine because it’s easier that way. Pornography and magazines and movies have taught us as men that sex is what women are good for. Real men do not want this.
