Eugh...Ok I have a problem with this guy. It started when he posted a rude comment on one of my photos. It was a picture of me and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rurouni_jedi wearing our D*sney Halloween costumes of Alice and Belle, and he said something along the lines of "What is this? I thought Disney only chose hot girls to play characters." And I wrote a rather peeved letter back and blocked him from commenting again. Later on I saw that he had taken a picture from Daekazu on devArt and used it to make this manip. Granted, he is very skilled with Photoshop and I actually DO like a lot of his graphics (I mean these ones are downright awesome). But for that picture he gave no credit to the artist, and I commented saying he should and gave a link back to Daekazu's gallery. This guy then deleted my comment and blocked ME from his account. And I don't get it, because on the rest of his gallery he seems like a nice guy! He's polite to everyone else and pretty well spoken. It makes no sense. Lately he's also been posting these kinda photos showing the various roles the girls play. On one hand, there is no rule that says he can't do this, but from a CM point of view it's bad. It kinda ruins the magic, and I know that many of the girls do NOT like this kinda stuff. On Micechat people were saying that these girls should be flattered and even honored that they notice them in other roles, but I spoke directly to a princess/fairy who said it was very upsetting. It made her feel bad as a cast member, saying she felt like she had failed at her job at keeping the magic. And she hadn't even done anything, it was just from people comparing her photos like this. It's disrespectful. >=/ Tags: disney, stupid people

Omg today was fun. So I got up at the crack of dawn, sat in LA rush hour traffic for 2 hours, and arrived at Disney Animation Studios in Burbank. Just two days ago I learned they were having "Disney Inspire Days" which is basically an open house to meet with students and graduates. So I scrambled to get all my portfolio stuff together and barely made it on time. The main focus of the event was to provide portfolio reviews with Disney Recruiting and they also provided tours of the studio. And throughout the day they held Comic-Con-styled panels with Disney artists, producers, and directors. The first pair we saw was John Musker and Ron Clements, directors of The Princess and the Frog. The tour of the studio itself was amazing, it was my first time actually going inside. The second floor was divided into two sections. One side was for Rapunzel, and the other for Princess and the Frog. I SO desperately wished I could have snuck my camera in, but naturally photos were forbidden. The walls were covered in artwork, including character sketches, color keys, background designs, interior/exterior sets, costume reference, a few storyboards and some BRILLIANTLY painted scenes, especially from Rapunzel. OH man the art direction of that movie looks GORGEOUS. It almost makes me a little sad knowing that the 2D art will be pushed aside by the fact that the film itself is 3D. I can only hope they maintain the feel of the 2D art I saw. The other half of the building was done up in Mardi Gras decorations, with all the same concept art and designs pinned up on the walls, only for Frog. Since this film is further along in production, there were actual completed frames of film posted up. Tiana looks like she's going to fit in quite well with the other Disney Princesses. The best part of the day was when we got to see actual scenes from the film, including an ENTIRE musical number by the villain, Dr. Facilier, who is voiced by Keith David!! (Gargoyles anyone? =D) And holy crap, I had no idea that man could sing so well! He looks like a really compelling villain, he reminds me of a sinister voodoo Cab Calloway. XD The art direction for both films looked beautiful and I hope it carries into the final process. As for my portfolio review, it went pretty well. I now know what areas to improve, what to add and take out, and all that good stuff. I really liked how the recruiters were brutally honest and gave genuine constructive criticism. They were kind and supportive but did really well in pointing out what needs improvement. So lastly for your viewing pleasure, I recorded the Q&A by Andreas Deja (♥♥♥) and Eric Goldberg. I figured other aspiring artists would like to hear their input on animation. =) EDIT: Gah, sorry guys. I had to remove the youtube videos. Tags: animation, disney, disney studios

Question. I've been on devArt almost 6 years now, so why haven't I received my Senior Member status? I want the little ` in front of my name! Meh. So I might be transferring at D*sneyland soon. It's a just a possibility, but I'm not saying what it is or where until I know for certain whether or not I got it. =3 Hehe. Also, a a random D*sney thing I wanted to share. Mulan wasn't my favorite D*sney movie, but I DID love it and I remember walking out of the theater thinking " Damn that was a good movie." But I DO think that Mulan had one of the greatest trailers that D*sney ever made, and I recently found it on Youtube. It's not the greatest quality (not perfectly synced) but I still wanted to share. I love everything about it, especially the opening. I love the music, the fact that there is no dialogue other than the Emperor's voiceover, and the fact that they stuck in scenes of rough animation. I also love that it's so dark. You think of trailers from other D*sney films like Beauty and the Beast and you think of the "Be Our Guest" sequence with lots of bright colors, flashy dance sequences, and characters having fun. But not Mulan. They could easily have stuck in a bunch of funny Mushu scenes and gags, but they made a good marketing choice here. The trailer was so mysterious and dramatic I remember being amazed when I first saw it as a kid. There was no question, I HAD to see this movie. XD Just one of those little things that makes me happy. I'm totally craving pizza tonight. o_o Tags: devart, disney

So remember ages ago when I made my Comic-Con post and said I would hopefully post photos from Saturday (our Disney cosplay day)? Well the good news is that I was able to get a hold of some of Britt's photos from Christy, and I also have a bunch I collected off the internet from random sites. The bad news is that these are hardly what I would consider the "fun photos." Britt still has a bunch of candid shots that made that day so much fun, including shots of me as Alice being attacked by a Joker, as well as a photoshoot out on the hill by the San Diego Bay, with me and Hatter having a tea party, and just some awesome shots I can't really describe. I really really hope to get those photos someday from Britt and post them. But for now, here are the photos I currently have!  ( Comic-Con Saturday - Disney Cosplay day )So I'll hopefully try to get more photos from Britt. He's just a busy guy so it's kinda tough right now. What's also fun is that this Wednesday Sam and I will be going as Alice and Hatter again to Mickey's Trick or Treat Party at California Adventure. THAT should be interesting.
