The Physics of Animation


Computer animation in feature-films is a modern-day nexus of art and science. Professor Alejandro Garcia developed and teaches "Physics of Animation", a science course for visual artists. During 2011, he took a professional leave and worked in Dreamworks Animation's department of Artistic Development as a physics consultant on "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted." Hear Professor Garcia discuss the animation industry from both the scientific and artistic perspectives.

I wish it was software I could use in class 
that wasn't online, but maybe in the future.

Monument Valley



Anyone who knows me, understand I do not play video games of any kind.  There are a few reasons for this.

1 - I can't.  I do not have the motor skills.  I cannot even use a wacom stylus. I can use a cintiq, which involves me working directly on the surface... but any kind of trying to look ta a screen and click stuff other than a mouse and I fall apart.

2 - I find the content in video games either insulting, dumb or pointless. It just doesn't interest me.

3 - Finally, most games are unappealing and ugly aesthetically to me.



Gorgeous art, interesting puzzle style flow, unique changes of perspective and gravity force the game forward.  All artists should love the geometric nature and style of this game and appreciate the time and passion taken to make it so.
