Hello once again to the few readers of my blog, as you read from this tittle you know what i am typing about so lets begin with a definition of drama.
a genre or style of literature.
an exciting, emotional, or unexpected series of events or set of circumstances.
Now here's my view on this, out of all the genres of fiction drama (when done right) is the most like real life thus it smacks of reality.
so imagine someone beating you up
This might seem odd but if your really alive chances are you got hurt over something. All the best writers of drama wrote at least somewhat of tragic events in there lives like losing a loved one. this is where drama can be its most potent.
so this is how i differ good drama from bad.
BAD DRAMA PUMMELS
in other words it keeps bombarding you with one dastardly dramatic event after another non stop. if this goes on to far the piece becomes entirely unbelievable after all theirs always some good that occurs in life even under trying circumstances.
GOOD DRAMA IS A ONE PUNCH KNOCKOUT
This is best used when focusing on a single dramatic point. setting it up subtlety into a steadily rising action building to a climax that brings the whole point of the drama to light.
Well there you have it i hope this blogs been to your liking and makes sense.
Now i know hand drawn animation isn't dead technically, its still going on in Japan, France and other foreign countries. (which is good) But for America who has done so much for this form in film just to abandon it is absurd. There hasn't been an hand drawn animated movie since
in 2011
Now i know many of you are thinking but we have CGI animation now. to that thought i say your right, lets just get rid of all nonfiction because we have fantasy. (that's sarcasm by the way) Both mediums (if i am not mistaken these two have had a few little article feuds on the web) are as opposite as peas and skyscrapers. wait I'm getting ahead of myself I'll get back to this argument in a minute.
another thought, oh i see the TV still has hand drawn animation comment. well, i would be okay with that if there was more than a few good hand drawn animation series's like Marvels The Avengers or
most of the style of animation today is
decent but crude style of animation like
and shitty throw up animation
and is this, so far off from this
its not even the crude humor that bothers me but television's refusal to allow more diversity in the animation and story.
now getting back to the CGI comment I think the best way to discuss this is with STAR WARS?
Yes, Star Wars from the the prequels I'm afraid they have caused much dismay among fans with good reason but if there is one good thing that came from them is Star Wars Clone Wars and Star Wars The Clone Wars because we get to see the same story executed from hand drawn and cgi animation to truly analyze the differences of these animations. so here are two clips on this same story all i want you to do (if you've even read this far) is to analyze each clip and tell me there strengths and weaknesses
and
well by my analysis i have come to this conclusion.
Clone Wars: Has more swift motion of the body and can exaggerate it to impossible degrees. Grievous in one move is fighting with not only two hands carrying light sabers but also a foot carrying a light saber while only standing on one foot writing that down seems silly but for the animations visuals its execution made him intimidating and bad-ass. a feet CGI animation can never do.
The Clone Wars: The bodies move more stiffly but are more realistic, the visuals of the spaceship battle are quite gripping but they almost look like a live action film. because of the bodies limitation the light saber battle is short and insignificant.
I say this not to bash CGI animation after all they've had some great films like Wreck It Ralph and Walle
but after much consideration i have discovered both mediums strengths and weaknesses.
CGI animations limitation is fantasy
hand drawn animations limitation is reality
the opposite is there strength.
now before you try pointing out CGI animation fantasies consider
is this grander than this?
This blogging's new for me so if i seem out of place you know why. I know i should know what a blog is by now considering how long blogs have been around but i'm generally out of the loop on things. i guess what i'll type on here is just random stuff, if that makes sense. so let me begin...
by giving a very brief history on audio dramas. whats that? (random voice in my head asks? don't worry i'm not that kind of crazy, if that makes sense.) oh no you said audio books that is not what i'm discussing. what is an audio drama? well to answer that we'd have to go back before pinterest, you tube, texting, the internet, cellphones and even television.( i'm sure you stop reading by now.) where the only entertainment at home was books and a device in ancient days know as a
radio
1.
the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves of radio frequency, especially those carrying sound messages.
this device didn't just play music and talk shows like the very few of you that might remember this contraption in its evolved form. nay, they had what they called back then Radio Theater. They had shows of all types from westerns to scifi and everything else.
radio theater started in the mid late 1920's and lasted all the way till television murdered it, although not entirely. strangely enough the internet has been a help on creating new audio production sites for example
