SPOILER!!: Hand Drawn Animation!

She listened as the Professor spoke and she tilted her head a little in thought as she thought about which she preferred.

She raised her hand after some careful thought and started to speak. "I prefer hand drawn animation, it might not be as crisp or clean as Technology based animation, but you are seeing an artist in the show, their hard work and artistic talent is displayed for you on the screen, and it makes it really special to see. "

She wished she could draw and animate. Her mind briefly went to Jasper as she put her hand down and waited for the others responses.

Of course she didn't NEED cartoons to bond with her sister because they had other ways to do that, but it was still something that they could share. It WAS amazing that her dad had gotten them into cartoons because it was something that they could enjoy.

Jotting down more notes, she listened to the next question before raising her hand. "I don't think it matters much either way as it's more important to get the message across than it is to draw by hand or use digital imaging. If I had to choose, however, I would say I prefer hand drawn. As Azura mentioned, you get to see the artwork of the artist come to life on the screen. It's more PERSONAL than digital images and I like that." Just her two cents on the matter.

He had to stifle a laugh when Professor Stewart asked which style if animation they preferred. It was a good thing his mom and dad weren't here or World War 3 would've broken out in the middle of the classroom! His mother liked the classic hand-drawn cartoons, while his father preferred computer animation.

But which style did Fiyero like better? He had to really think about it before finally raising his hand. "I like hand-drawn," he said. Sorry, Dad! "There's a lot if variety to the styles of hand-drawn animation, and you get less if an uncanny valley with the character design."

Fiyero shuddered as he suddenly remembered a movie with particularly creepy computer animation, where the people sll looked like robots.

"Technology driven animation is really cool. I especially like the Pixar movies. It's amazing what you can do with technology. But.......I have to say that hand drawn animation is my favorite. I can't imagine how difficult and time consuming it must have been to draw every single little movement by hand.". Janelle sat back and listened as her classmates some. It was interesting to hear everyone's opinion on the matter.

This was rather interesting. Not many of her students chose hand drawn animation. With the few that did, she smiled at them. “I rather like your reasons for choosing hand drawn animation. I also prefer this too because of the idea of seeing the artist’s work come to life from pencils and paper.’’

SPOILER!!: Computer generated!

He never really gave the idea much thought while doing it, since, it’s all about enjoying the show and creativity of the animators. Watching a good cartoon series felt like reading a good book to him, so perhaps his purpose of watching it is to be inspired by the artists’ creativity. He liked the feeling of being challenged once in a while.

And what did he actually prefer? When Azura offered her answer, Jace briefly looked at her and somehow, began to understand her. Hand-drawn cartoons gave the classic/nostalgic vibe to the show, often times, it’s reeking with a romantic theme. Hmm. Maybe that explains why she is very emotional with almost everything. Sighing, Jace raised his hand to answer, “I prefer digitally rendered cartoons, sensei. It’s more fluid and smooth to the eyes than hand-drawn ones, plus it gives good balance to the story-telling portion.” One simply does not base the quality of the cartoons on graphics alone. There must be substance to the whole thing as well.

And everyone else's favourites were all really really old. Sure, there were some movies and stuff that everyone knew about even though they were seventy or eighty years old... the classics, as the professor had said. But most people wouldn't name those as their favourites out of everything overall, would they? It just seemed strange. The most he could do was chalk it up to the Wizarding World being far, far behind the Muggle world when it came to certain things. After all, they still used quills and stuff regularly... probably shouldn't expect that wizards were any quicker on the pickup of media than they were on writing implements.

Poor wizards. Hopefully they'd catch up someday and their grandkids would be able to watch Smash Melonball and Universal Knowledge too. By then though, there would be lots of newer stuff to watch... they'd be perpetually behind. What a shame.

As for the topic of computer generated versus hand-drawn...

"Computer generated," Jaemin said, rather flatly. "Most everything that comes out anymore is computer generated... drawing stuff by hand takes too long for it to be used for anything that's not artsy and big-headed about itself anymore."

He didn't think he'd ever seen a hand-drawn cartoon show in his life... maybe a movie or two, but they were rare in themselves and he didn't really notice much of a difference, overall.

“Turn your frown upside down, Mr Song,’’ Kay told the boy warmly. “Indeed I didn’t and that’s because I didn’t mind hearing about computer generated animation too.’’ She liked broadening her knowledge and Jaemin certainly had helped with that.

"if i were an employer, id want something that takes less time, which equals less money" thanks dad, his lessons always drilled in her head. Thinking like an executive than a teenage girl, all she needed as a power suit.

It was to be expected that some students choose computer animation. “Indeed computer animation is less time consuming and indeed this form has wiped out the old method of animation many years ago.’’ Kay smiled a tad sadly at the kiddos. “Time changes too rapidly I sometimes think.’’

SPOILER!!: No preferences! <3

"I don't think it matters, Professor. I mean, the technologically advanced or not advanced cartoons alike are... the point is the story. That's all. The point is the entertainment, and that value is there regardless of how fancy it is."

Especially with the fact that she also like a lot of those old cartoons they sometimes played on the old-time television stations.

Mel glanced over to Blaise when she heard what he said about his dad thinking the shows weren’t enriching. Sure, sometimes they might not have been the best things out there? But still…she always thought they were great for their imagination.

When asked which she would prefer Mel chewed her lip questioning as she wondered on it. Raising her hand she smiled up at Professor Stewart, “for me…I think I have a mixed preference? Some of the more modern technology driven animations can be really nice, though I think there is a sense of beauty and artistry in the hand done animations?”

Clara listened to some others' responses as well, finding all opinions equally fascinating and valuable. Every minute or so, she would hear something that caught her attention, and so she jotted a little note down, careful not to try to write down everything that was said.

The professor soon asked a final question and Clara sat up straight, fixing her posture quite a bit. Technology driven animation...hm...Clara racked her brain for thoughts, trying to remember if she had ever seen an instance of the concept.

"Professor, I think that I don't prefer one thing over the other. All animation serves some sort of purpose and that is to entertain, whether it is on a simple comical level or on a deeper more emotional level. That being said, I do understand why technology driven animation has had a spike in popularity. Taking something innovative and pairing it with art is never a bad thing. You go with what the times tell you to do, and the future is full of possibilities at all moments. And honestly, using technology to enhance animation is a wonderful investment, in my opinion."

Well, maybe that wasn't true. He wasn't extremely artistic but he did like it, so on second thought he concluded that he could probably tell the difference.

"I don't think one would be better than the other, professor. They're different of course but have the same value. I think it's good to have variety because if everything was the same it would get pretty boring."

As the lesson slowly progressed Hady reached for her quill and began taking down all that notes that were appearing on the board. Might as well take down all the information if she was sitting here during the lesson. Just because her mood wasn't her typically cheery merrier usual one didn't mean she wasn't a good student.

Pushing a strand of long brunette hair from her face she lifted her hand to reply to the next question without even giving it much thought. "The way a show is made doesn't much matter to me, I watch a show because I like it not because of it being hand-drawn or that it has better graphics. A show could have the most high tech animation out there but that doesn't make it worth watching." Her answer probably wasn't what Professor Stewart had been looking for but it was an honest reply.

Grinning at the professor, knowing very well she caught his little comment to Katherine, Cornelius set out to write the next key points on his notebook. It was hard with the spirals on it for the left-handed boy, but he managed. For the next question Cornelius raised his hand.

"I don't have a preference, but maybe some prefer one or the other because of the quality?" He knew those type of people that cared about quality A LOT and were very picky. He bet those ones liked the technology driven animation stuff.

Although her mother and father let her watch tv and cartoons, Kat simply didn't care much for it. She would sit down and watch it sometimes, but not sit in front of it all. The tv was better used for video games with Phillip than anything else.

Since it was the final question of the lesson and more of a opinnion asnwer then anything, the second year figured that she would answer that since she was caught up on her notes. Raising her tiny hand, "It doesn't really matter, but to me but the computerized movements look very realistic.' She nodded after her answer and grinned, most of the video games she played with Phillip was computerized animation.

Kay had purposely not asked if anyone would have no preferences. She liked her students to think for themselves and was yet again not disappointed. She fixed them all with smiles. “Very good! Animation from either does not matter to some as long as they have a great story.’’

SPOILER!!: Both!

The Professor grinned at Tenacius. “I would like that, Mr Salander.’’ He looked so eager that she could not refuse even if she wanted to. Moving on to his answer. “Yes, there are a few that use both and I am familiar with Korra’s animation. I must say that I agree with you on it’s rather beautiful.’’

SPOILER!!: Blaise! <3

Blaise seemed to have his mind all made up about the subject of Muggles. It made Kay somewhat sad that he felt this way but she wasn’t fully disappointed. Everyone changed their minds about things sometime. There was possibly hope that Blaise would. “I appreciate your opinions, Mr Bellaire. It is my hope that you’ll continue attending these lessons never the less.’’ She couldn’t quite figure out why he was taking the subject if he wasn’t keen on non- magical related thing but she wasn’t going to discourage him from attending. Nope, not one bit.

SPOILER!!: The Quiet Ones! <3

The Professor’s keen eyes had not missed the ones who were silent. She did not expect every student to answer each question but as long as they took notes on what was discussed, she was happy.

“Thank you all for your answers. As you can see there are a few reasons why each of you has your preference. This list-" Kaysha tapped the portion of the board that contained the most recent one. “-gives both advantages and disadvantages for each of the two. Before we get started on the final part of the lesson, I would just like to add some final points. Hand drawn animation is also known as Traditional or Cel animation. ‘Cel’ because an animator’s drawings are traced onto transparent sheets called ‘cels’. These cels are filled with paints corresponding colours on the opposite side of the drawing which are then individually photographed. This is done against a backdrop or background which has already been painted. Sadly this process has ceased somewhere shortly after the start of the 21st century.’’ RIP, Traditional Animation.

“And with that, it has brought us to the final part of the lesson- the activity!’’ Kay moved behind her desk two heave to medium sized cardboard boxes. She then returned her gaze to the class. “Today’s topic dealt with Traditional Animated shows so for the activity, you’ll be drawing!’’ No surprises there, right? “What will you be drawing? You’ll be drawing yourselves as your favourite Traditional Animated character; you’ll be animating yourselves. This means making the necessary changes to an existing character and adding your physical traits. So, for example, we may have a Superman with red or blond hair. For those of you who are not very familiar with these old shows-“ Kay smiled in Jaemin’s direction.”-feel free to choose any character from a more modern show.’’

“In these boxes, I have packets of crayons-wax and wooden along with regular pencils, erasers and sharpeners if you need them.’’ She pointed to the first box. “In the second box, there are papers for you to draw on. You may take a few sheets just in case you need to start over if you’re unhappy with your work. I don’t want you to think that you’re not good at drawing and colouring because I look forward to seeing all of your work. We have about half an hour left so you may come get the supplies to get started! When you are done, please label your name, House and year then hand in your work. Come on up in an orderly fashion to get your supplies.’’

While the students got started, Kay moved to switch off the projector and re-open the windows. She reasoned they should have some fresh air now.

OOC: Hey, guys! Have I mentioned yal are awesome?

Anywho, this is the final bit of the lesson which will end on Saturday May 21st at 1 PM EST.
For the activity:
1. You need 3 posts creating your animated charrie. Grabbing the art supplies does not count as one post but can be included in the same post at your charrie getting started on the art work.
2. Turning in the art work does not count as a post either but it can be included in the same post in which your charrie is finishing up their drawing.
3. You can include an image under a spoiler tag or via a link for an extra credit of five points. Images MUST be of your own creation! and can be hand drawn by you or paint or any other programme you see fit can be used. The image your charrie will draw does not necessarily have to be human. For example, you can draw your charrie as a Pokemon but you can feel free to add any defining traits such as a tattoo or their signature hair style. Pretty much you can be as creative as you like as long as the image is SS appropriate

4. Have fun!
If you need Kay, simply put ‘Professor’ in the header of your posts

I’ll be around stalking all you awesome peeps *is so not creepy*

Its so awesome he wants to share it with fellow Wizards! Because its as close as real Magical Representation on TV. It matters eh. Wait… so they were made to choose between traditional animation and computer animated cartoons?? Oh wow tough call. Very tough, specially for one who grew up watching both. Dexter's Lab was traditional animation, Jimmy Neutron was CGI. He loved them both. This time the normally exuberant and talkative Gryffindor grew quiet as he considered things. Finally he said this "Well Professor… the reason why I really love cartoons is because of the story-- its entertaining, its informative, its exciting and funny and sad and all of that. But I think the best example is this cartoon called Legend of Korra-- that was done with both traditional and computer graphics animation, and so far its one of the prettiest cartoons ever done." well other than the fact that the characters were also very pretty. Because Asami rawr. "It had the kind of personal touch that traditional animation has-- which computer graphics animation tend to lose, but Korra incorporated CGI where it can, so it had the spectacle that traditional animation couldn’t achieve before." That’s why the answer is both. At least as far as this cartoon aficionado was concerned. The Professor grinned at Tenacius. “I would like that, Mr Salander.’’ He looked so eager that she could not refuse even if she wanted to.

A word his quill had used once. You had NO IDEA how long he'd been waiting to use it in a sentence. "I don't like magic but muggle things don't impress me either." In truth, he liked magical things, not mundane ones. Magic itself was his only obstacle. "I think everything muggles make can be improved with a touch of magic--so long as I'm not the one applying it." As for his preference....he didn't have one...? Didn't really understand the difference despite everything his classmates had been spouting. Was there truly a difference? Did it matter? Not for the life of him could he see why differentiating the two would make an impact on him when he didn't watch, regardless. As a result, the boy opted to keep his mouth shut. Nothing to add really. He was still lost in this discussion. Blaise seemed to have his mind all made up about the subject of Muggles. It made Kay somewhat sad that he felt this way but she wasn’t fully disappointed. Everyone changed their minds about things sometime. There was possibly hope that Blaise would. “I appreciate your opinions, Mr Bellaire. It is my hope that you’ll continue attending these lessons never the less.’’ She couldn’t quite figure out why he was taking the subject if he wasn’t keen on non- magical related thing but she wasn’t going to discourage him from attending. Nope, not one bit. SPOILER!!: The Quiet Ones! <3 Quote: Originally Posted by Nc.Ap. Mason was sooooo lost. She had absoloutely no idea what Professor Kay was talking about.

She didn't have a clue, since cough cough she didn't have any Muggle-yness in her family. The only Muggle thing that they had in the house was a talyphone or something like that, it was supposedly used to talk to each other. . . which didn't make sense at all, cause that was what owls were for. So she just kept her mouth shut and scribbled down what was being said, even if she had zero clue about Muggles and their mundane-lives, she was here to learn about them, broaden her horizon on erm, other cultures. She could only imagine what her ancestors would say if they saw her now, she knew for a fact that Geroldis would have a fit. . .

Sooo she also didn't really have a preference over hand drawn or technology driven animation. Both were probably just fine anyway. She jotted down a couple notes but otherwise remained silent and simply listened to the others' answers. The Professor’s keen eyes had not missed the ones who were silent. She did not expect every student to answer each question but as long as they took notes on what was discussed, she was happy.

As you can see there are a few reasons why each of you has your preference. This list-" Kaysha tapped the portion of the board that contained the most recent one. “-gives both advantages and disadvantages for each of the two. Before we get started on the final part of the lesson, I would just like to add some final points. Hand drawn animation is also known as Traditional or Cel animation. ‘Cel’ because an animator’s drawings are traced onto transparent sheets called ‘cels’. These cels are filled with paints corresponding colours on the opposite side of the drawing which are then individually photographed. This is done against a backdrop or background which has already been painted. Sadly this process has ceased somewhere shortly after the start of the 21st century.’’ RIP, Traditional Animation. “And with that, it has brought us to the final part of the lesson- the activity!’’ Kay moved behind her desk two heave to medium sized cardboard boxes. She then returned her gaze to the class. “Today’s topic dealt with Traditional Animated shows so for the activity, you’ll be drawing!’’ No surprises there, right? “What will you be drawing? You’ll be drawing yourselves as your favourite Traditional Animated character; you’ll be animating yourselves. This means making the necessary changes to an existing character and adding your physical traits. So, for example, we may have a Superman with red or blond hair. For those of you who are not very familiar with these old shows-“ Kay smiled in Jaemin’s direction.”-feel free to choose any character from a more modern show.’’ “In these boxes, I have packets of crayons-wax and wooden along with regular pencils, erasers and sharpeners if you need them.’’ She pointed to the first box. “In the second box, there are papers for you to draw on. You may take a few sheets just in case you need to start over if you’re unhappy with your work. I don’t want you to think that you’re not good at drawing and colouring because I look forward to seeing all of your work. We have about half an hour left so you may come get the supplies to get started! When you are done, please label your name, House and year then hand in your work. Come on up in an orderly fashion to get your supplies.’’ While the students got started, Kay moved to switch off the projector and re-open the windows. She reasoned they should have some fresh air now. OOC: Hey, guys! Have I mentioned yal are awesome? Anywho, this is the final bit of the lesson which will end on Saturday May 21st at 1 PM EST. For the activity: 1. You need 3 posts creating your animated charrie. Grabbing the art supplies does not count as one post but can be included in the same post at your charrie getting started on the art work. 2. Turning in the art work does not count as a post either but it can be included in the same post in which your charrie is finishing up their drawing. 3. You can include an image under a spoiler tag or via a link for an extra credit of five points. Images MUST be of your own creation! and can be hand drawn by you or paint or any other programme you see fit can be used. The image your charrie will draw does not necessarily have to be human. For example, you can draw your charrie as a Pokemon but you can feel free to add any defining traits such as a tattoo or their signature hair style. Pretty much you can be as creative as you like as long as the image is SS appropriate 4. Have fun! If you need Kay, simply put ‘Professor’ in the header of your posts I’ll be around stalking all you awesome peeps is so not creepy __________________ 🌺🌺🌺 I fall in love with boys I see on a TV screen.
