Hello Everyone!
I hope you guys had a wonderful relaxing weekend! This week’s topic was focused all about a lovely man who greatly contributed to the animated world both artistically and fundamentally.
The first innovation I’m focusing on is the new use and concept of a storyboard. “Written notes, thumbnails sketches, even visual outlines had been used before, but this was the first time that a sequence of drawings was used to plot out a film in its entirety” (pg 38). This small technique made a tremendous difference when trying to piece together an animation.

The use of Technicolor in Walt Disney’s company enabled a whole new element into the existing world of animation. It opened up animation to so much more detail overall and personally, I believe the use of color adds unspoken emotions that are present throughout in various animated
