Blog #3: American Icon Resouces

Pixar:
2. Websites
http://www.pixar.com/
This website is valuable information because it is the official website of Pixar. It has information on all their films, interviews from the people who work at Pixar, step-by-step information about how their films are made, etc. It basically has everything about Pixar and a break down of their shows and team work. Some of the extra info on the website is the inspiration for some of the movies.

This website has some information about Pixar's co-op work with Studio Ghibli. I think it's inspiring that animators from both places can be able to work together well.

3. Movies, films, videos

Monster's Inc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXn1IEn1NOY&feature=related
Toy Story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8hOHytF4i0

These are all links to the first parts of different Pixar movies. I think this is an important source because it's was the main thing that I was inspired by Pixar. This is a variety of the specific movies I've mentioned before in my blog/ shows the evolution of Pixar movies over time. Toy Story is a more older work, the one I first saw when I was little. Then there is Monster's Inc which is one of the middle works that I didn't see until a little later on. Last, there is Wall-E which depicts more of the current work or futuristic work they produced.

6. Interviews

This is an interview with one of the people who work at Pixar. I think a lot of his answers matches things I would say of thing I'm interested in now. This notes a lot of things about the characteristics of people who work at Pixar. It gives me more things to relate to.


Hayao Miyazaki:
6. Interviews

This is the first part to an interview with Hayao Miyazaki. He talks about his inspiration for some of his movies. He talks about in the different aspects of his movie "Princess Mononoke", like how he exaggerates the mouth and the eyes for people to be able to see more expression. Some extra information in it is like why he did the things that he did in his movies.

This is the main website from Studio Ghibli where Miyzaki mostly works at. It has information about his films, the process of his films, and little summaries of each movie.

3. Movies, films, videos

This is a trailer to one of his most famous films, "Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind". It displays the characteristics of one of his works that is between fantasy and realistic.
