AAA Blog Makeover

A big hello to all my readers and hope everyone had a great Diwali After the website, now it’s the turn of the blog to go in for an image and content ‘makeover’. Over this weekend, I am going to make a few changes to the structure of the blog and also its appearance as over the past one year, a lot of things have changed and the blog has evolved as well. The aim is to make the blog posts more frequent, relevant and exciting. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the loyal readers who have patiently waited for me to update the blogs as and when I have found the time and have taken the effort to comment and discuss the posts. The new blog will allow a lot more interaction and perhaps together we, that is AAA and its readers, can make some impact on the Indian Animation Industry. Cheers to that!

Do remember to check out the new ‘avatar’ of the AAA blog on Monday - 3rd November, 2008. Have a great weekend!

Yours animatedly,
Akshata

All About Animation website revamped!

It’s been close to a year since we launched All About Animation and we felt that the time has come to give our readers a lot more ‘new’ stuff to look at, learn, explore and share. As the first step, we have completely revamped the main website with many more interactive features being added over the next two months.

Following this, there will be changes in the Blog and the News site, besides the addition of many more new sub-sites as well. We look forward to reader feedback and suggestions. Happy surfing!

What is comedy?

Here is a brilliant example of how humour can be expressed through simple drawings and a little bit of surprise. I discovered it on YouTube quite by accident and am I glad I did! This hilarious piece of animation is called “What is Comedy?” and rather than ruin the fun by explaining it, I suggest you see it for yourself.

Description as found on YouTube and posted by Sara Benincasa…

A long-forgotten 1951 classroom film from Medium Large’s educational library (”Bake Your Way to Marriage!” “How to Cripple a Bully” “Polio: God’s Judgment Against Gays” ), this short exposes the chilling, horrifying, alarming truth about comedy in a fun, fact-filled format. The movie was made possible with a grant from “Buick: The Cadillac of Cars.”

Written, drawn and directed by Francesco Marciuliano. Edited by Sara Benincasa.
