Thank you for commenting on my blog, I appreciate it very much, not least because it gave me the opportunity to follow you over to yours. I watch that little icecream monster a couple of times, very simpatico. Reminds me of the good old Cookie Monster gobbling up that huge chocolate chip cookie. Now, come to think of it, next time I want to eat an ice-cream cone ... *help, call Dr. Freud!*

madretz said...

That's so awesome! Hurray Alina and Minty!

tom said...

In Alina's world, you don’t eat ice cream, ice cream eats you:)

R.Dress said...

CEREAL KILLER said...

like it a lot...
so cuuteeee!!!
he he he he
maybe for an introduction, i would do it pass more quick.....just my opinion, but i like it!

( =_=)/

CEREAL KILLER said...

no no no.....not wicked....

( =_=)

well....maybe i should explain....
I made it for a forum contest in wich you should use Microsoft Paint and i guess i should write something down in order not to get misunderstood.....
"The luxury of abortion" i were not meaning i disagree with abortion, just the opposite. I tried to mean, the baby skull and the cross, that he dies because of our sins, and that´s not a game and, despite i agree with that, abortion has two faces, and the polemic is always there.
Anyhow, i hope you did not misundestood me so much....i did not tried to be nasty.

Best regards!

justinpatrickparpan said...

Congratulations Alina, this is really cool! I can't wait to see it on the telivision.

shou' said...

As others have mentioned, I've accidently stumbled upon this gem of a blog.

You have a great knack for the selection of colors and wonderful brush strokes for your water colored pieces.

I'll honestly admit when clicking on the E=mc2 film I didn't know what to expect. It was a nice surprise, the concepts and lush colors were interesting. And speaking of films I really enjoyed your Kite animation. Thank you for sharing.

I did have a question regarding the making fo E=mc2. For the pencil tests was that done traditionally with a H or B pencil on some construction paper or was it performed via digitally? If it was digital then if I may ask what application you were using?

Thanks.

Richard Oud said...

Hey that's awesome! Congratulations on your TV commercial :)

Lauren Kate said...

Absolutely Fabulous!

Laura Roigé - ShirKa _. said...

Is sooooooocuteeeeeeeeeeee^^
congratulations a lots for the TV!
L!

Alina Chau said...

THank you everyone.

Shou,
Thank you. E=mc2 is done traditionaly with paper and pencil. The pencil test is captures frame by frame under the good old lunch box pencil test system. Those are actually normal white paper. The lunch box camera just have a low res, so things look kind of dark ... :P

Matías said...

Really beautiful Alina

shou' said...

Hey Alina,

Normal white paper? Computer paper? And whoa, you have a lunch box system? Nice. That must be expensive though :/ I actually didn't notice much of the darkness, I guess I was really fixated on the watching the frames. Haha. Oops.

I hope you don't mind me commenting here on this blog instead of your other, but I noticed the dynamic storyboard for Spyro -- which was great and loads of fun to read. Thanks for sharing.

I do have a question regarding about your storyboard. Do you have any standard storyboard template that you normally use? I was reading each frame and noticed there was a lack of space to write any notes such as audio or whatnot.

gabriel pacheco said...

I will be careful with ice creams... brilliant

Mathieu Beaulieu said...

Wow! congraulation!!
he's so cuuute. I luv it

jesukiran said...

congrats!.... nice one n lovely animaaa...

Alina Chau said...

THank you everyone.

Shou',

You're welcome to comment or write on any of my blog. :)

E=mc2 is drawn on normal white paper, pretty much 11 x 17 cheap office photo copy paper ... since the whole film end up using some 17,000 pages of paper ... or 3 kinkos boxes of paper. HA ! HA !!

For Spyro storyboard, yes ... we have a standard storyboard format for production. The reason these on-line postings doesn't have roomed for script and direction comments, because I cut all those studio production notes out for on-line viewing convenience. Plus just in case, some of the production notes are confidential ... so it's safer to cut all those documentation out. :) Don't want to get into trouble ... ;)

Alina Chau said...

Shou',

Ooh ... I didn't own a lunch box system ... the film is done during student era, all the equipments are provided by the school. :)

Gabi Beltrán said...

Thanks for your comments, Alina!

Writer on Board said...

Congratulations, Alina! I was on TV once too. Does COPS count?

messytimbo said...

thank you for your comment, it means a lot coming from someone with your experience.

i love to get some constructive feed back, so please fill free to tell me where i've gone and how i can improve (if you choose to leave comments on future posts)

gen said...

I like how you did that. How did you create that to youtube? That is so cool and cute at the same time.

shou' said...

Alina,

Went through 3 Kinkos' boxes of paper? *begins to count fingers and toes* ... My gosh, I'd guestimate you used at least a few thick tree branches and then some :P Amazing nevertheless!

Yeah. As you can see I'm fairly clueless when I read that line about the lunchbox system, I thought you actually owned one (if I was amazed before then I was a goner now :P) the system. ^^;; Sorry.

Alina Chau said...

THank you everyone.

Gen,
Thank you. I sign up for a you tube account. In you tube they give you a link to connect the file in you tube to blogger. :)

Shou',
HA ! HA !! Yea ... these days, if I ever have time to do 2D animation, it will be drawn in the computer for sure. It's quite tricky to store boxes of paper ... the problem is, they take up a lot of space and the content is quite useless once the film is done. But throwing them out is quite impossible either, cause it represents many hours of hard work. HA ! HA !!
