March 11th: Animation Resources Annual Meeting and Screening Party!

Animation Resources is holding its Annual Meeting, screening and party on Saturday March 11th and you’re invited!

ANNUAL MEETING FACEBOOK PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/events/1852874204931782/

Every year, Animation Resources holds a meeting where we recap our accomplishments during the previous year and announce our goals for the upcoming one. It’s a great time to find out more about our organization and meet the people who make it all happen. But that’s not all… we screen a rare film from our collection on the big screen, we network and we party as well!

This year, we will be screening a brand new high definition restoration of Karel Zeman’s revolutionary film, Baron Prášil (The Fabulous Baron Munchausen). You probably have never heard of this film, but after you see it, you’ll never forget it.

Terry Gilliam is quoted as saying, “I remember when I was doing Baron Munchausen seeing a picture in a [British Film Institute] catalogue from Karel Zeman’s Baron Munchausen and saying, “Wow, what is this?” and eventually seeing the film, and saying, “Wow, that’s great,” because he did what I’m still trying to do, which is to try and combine live action with animation. His Doré-esque backgrounds were wonderful. The film captured the real spirit of the character.”

Our digital transfer of the film comes all the way from the Karel Zeman Museum in Czechoslovakia. You won’t see this one on Netflix! So don’t miss it.

If you would like to attend the party, please RSVP by sending an email to Taber Dunipace at… tdunipace@animationresources.org. Our seating for the screening is limited, so please RSVP early and if it turns out later that you can’t make it, let us know so we can offer your seat to someone else on the waiting list. If you can, please bring snacks and drinks for the refreshments table.

DVD QUALITY VIDEO:

Man On The Land (UPA/1951)

Animation Resources Advisory Board member, Steve Stanchfield recently contributed a high quality transfer of UPA’s Man On The Land to our collection of digitized animated films. This early industrial film includes animation by Pat Matthews, Grim Natwick and Art Babbitt, but animation isn’t the primary attraction here. It’s the drop dead brilliant layouts by Director Bill Hurtz, Associate Director Art Heinemann and background artists Bob Dranko, Boris Gorelick and Paul Julian (among others). Just about every setup in this film is strong enough to be an illustration in a book. Check out the depth and lighting in these backgrounds. They may be painted flat, but they sure aren’t composed flat. If you are interested in studying how to use camera movement creatively, this is a perfect film to study. No matter what part of the background the camera is panning over, the compositions are always absolute perfection.
