Inspiration!

 

I was really inspired by Co Hoedeman's films that I saw in class today. The way that he creates such pure children's films with a morals involved in them, is exactly what I want to do. I loved that his films were so simple and he did not use a lot of expensive technology in making his films. My favorite film that we watched today had to be Ludvic: "Dancing With Grandma". I just loved everything about that film, it was absolutely beautiful.

In the reading tonight, I liked that I was able to find out some interesting facts about Walt Disney's earlier films. I did not know, that Snow White was Disney's first colored film, but I did know that it was his first full length animated film. I thought it was really weird to find out, that when Snow White first came out, children were genuinely frightened by the witch transformation scene. But, like it said in the article, I guess that growing up when that film came out, as opposed to now, is extremely different in the types of media that children are shown and grow accustom to. Children of today's generation have more of a resistance to fear than children did in the 1930's.
