动画师和动画

以下摘自Alan Becker官网 Animator vs. Animation： Made with Adobe Flash in 2006, junior year of high school. Internationally, estimated 100 million views total. Featured on CNN’s “News to Me”, Wall Street Journal, G4’s “Attack of the Show”, ComedyCentral.com, wimp.com, and the rest of the internet. I first submitted it to Newgrounds and deviantArt. For a long time it was #1 most popular on both websites. Then people on Newgrounds got tired of seeing it and voted it down, and deviantArt switched their method of rating most popular pieces away from view count/number of favorites. But all three “Animator vs. Animation”s have Daily Deviations on deviantArt and were nominated as Movie of the Year on Newgrounds, for 2006, 2007, and 2011. Animator vs. Animation II： Finished in Fall of 2006. First featured on atomfilms.com (which merged into comedycentral.com later) exclusively for the first six months, and was then posted to Newgrounds, deviantArt, and later, YouTube. Winner of the 2007 Webby Awards (People’s Choice) Animator vs. Animation III： Completed September 2010. Took 1 year and 325 hours. First released on atomfilms.com (which now doesn’t exist), exclusively, for one year. Then uploaded to Newgrounds, deviantArt, and YouTube. Made with Adobe Flash. Animator vs. Animation IV： Directly after graduating from Columbus College of Art and Design in 2013, I ran a successful campaign on Kickstarter to fund the making of Animator vs. Animation IV. I worked on this animation for a year, putting in 738.25 work hours, twice as many as number 3. In this episode, I did a few things differently. First, I included live action shots to show the reaction of the animator at his computer desk. I also included a scene where I fight with the stick figure on my iPhone. This required animating the iPhone’s screen and playing it as a video on the phone itself while reacting to it, with a piece of plastic stuck to my finger so as not to actually activate the touchscreen. I also recorded my own sound effects. I did run out of funding money with a few months left, causing me to owe myself a couple thousand dollars.
