    It's been two days since I watched this video, and I haven't been able to get that song out of my head. Thanks, Hans. (Though I have to admit it's not a bad song to have stuck there!)

Børge Ring - mentor and playmate.

Image
Working with Børge was fun, hard, boring, exciting, unusual, normal, and most of all educational. Over a year before leaving high school, in March 1978 I found out he lived in my neighborhood from a tv program about him and his wife Joanika. So I found him in the phone book (remember those?) and called him up. While studying art history, for a year I was his "pupil" doing animation tests, dropping by and having him correct them. Then, fed up with my art history professors, I moved my animation desk with my Neilson-Hordell disc into his Blaricum attic! (I am pointing at it in this photo taken last year:) Here, for almost four years, from March 1980 to November 1983 I smelled of his Douwe Egberts Red Amphora pipe tobacco and every day incl. weekends, Christmas and New Year from 10 to 6 we worked to the sound of BBC World Service if there were no jazz songs he had to listen to over and over again for an upcoming gig. I started doing simple non-production tests from his animation...

Prod. 2079 - Lady and the Tramp (VIII)  - Seq. 03.2 - What is a Baby?

Image
Directed by Ham Luske assisted by Jim Swain. Laid out by Ken Anderson, Al Zinnen and Thor Putnam. Secretary Ruth Wright. This Final draft dated 8/5/54. Animation by Ken O'Brien, George Nicholas, Jerry Hathcock, Harvey Toombs, Hal Ambro, Hal King with the baby by George Rowley. Again, very serviceable animators, no masterpieces... I like the CinemaScope note for sc. 28: "Lady will have to be alive throughout scene."

Anticipation & Overlapping Action   --General Review - Action Analysis Class of March 12th, 1936

Image
Don Graham introduces this Thursday evening Action Analysis Class as the "last class for a while," and it seems that the next classes were held in July, some four months later. In this class he discusses "the work covered to date," concentrating on anticipation and overlapping action, with examples from Alpine Climbers , and referencing Dave Hand's lecture two weeks earlier. Johnny Cannon pantomimes overlapping actions, and we hear from George Goepper, Jack Hannah, Jack Campbell, Paul Allen, Riley Thompson, Jim Algar and Bill Shull. Is Paul Allen questioning Fergie's animation? I remember the discussions while animation on Vahalla in the 80's, on overlapping actions and follow-thru. They were especially mixed up as the term "overlap" had been used to mean follow-thru. It took years to rid folks of this bad habit, and some never could get used to it...
