Second try

Well this is my second try at posting about this article. being a novice blogger i tried posting on a school computer in the library and something happened and i lost the whole post. this article took me back to my childhood. The days of violent cartoons, cats and mice playing with gun knives and a explosives. the glory days. We all grow up watching cartoons. I know i was a big fan of the older looney toons because a i had and older brother, but also the newer nickelodeon cartoons of my time (rockos modern life, Ren and Stimpy, and such)This articles takes these "childish" cartoons and bring to life that there is a real structure around them. They have a ll the elements of live action TV and film, narrative structure, continuity, and dialogue for each character. I think its really interesting to analyze cartoons because they were such a big part of almost everyones adolescent lives.The case study for Duck Amuck was very interesting as well. The first time i had every seen this wasn't until college in a film class, but it was cool to watch all the rules being broken and the artist showing his presence in the cartoon. The article then explains others modes of animation that are less conventional. As i was reading through the different types i actually had cartoon network on and adult swim was on. A lot of the shows featured in their line up are pretty experimental. The narrative style is almost always strange or offbeat. Aqua teen hunger force often used live action explosions instead of animated ones. It cool to get to write this response again after having some more experience with animating. I can be pretty confident our adam and eve acid trip would be called abstract. It has a loose story line in the beginning but from there it gets a little crazy.the end of the article talks about non-objective non-linear animation. These are animations that deal mostly with line color and shape and usually correspond with the soundtrack. i haven't been exposed to too much of this type of animation but from what i have seen i have liked. The most recent being Paper Rad this is a cartoon of expanding shapes colors and line that go to a sort of electronic soundtrack there are little characters but they never really have any purpose besides visually. The barrage of color and movement is almost mesmerizing. I really liked this article and it might have just persuaded me to take modes of animation in my near future.
