[Noisebridge-discuss] few questions on cinematography

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

No problem, the web page looks cool!

Gian Pablo hit what I mean. Some of features may be animation based, some of them are with "real cast" and they can be any genre from horror to comedy etc. It is the overlay of two dimensions which is the major factor. The Others, Spirited Away or in a way the Poltergeist are some of the examples, in a way a Pan's Labyrinth, Alice in Wonderland and the movies which Gian Pablo mentioned.

Thanks for the references in both emails, I will do some reading too.  

 
Sincerely,

PS By the way this types of movies and fiction is my favorite, plus time travel :-)

No, I think he's referring to something more subtle (not just animation).

"Sen To Chihiro no Kamikakushi" does in effect take place in two
settings, the spirit world and the real world, as does the other film
he cited. Arguably "The Matrix" is a similar structure, as is "The
Cell" and others. "Inception" explores the same idea, as does "World
on a Wire". The latter all focus mostly on computer simulations,
though the same concept can be explored with psychedelics, dreams,
spiritual practice, etc.

One concept that might apply is Baudrillard's idea of simulacra.

I'll do some digging, it is an interesting question.

I think you mean animated films? Children's animated shorts are called cartoons (like Loony Toons!) while feature-length animated films have a long history (Disney of course in the U.S.) & became very in vogue it seemed in the early 2000s w/ Japanese anime & manga being prime examples, & films like The Triplets of Belleville winning awards & being taken seriously. I have to confess that since I became an adult I've been prejudiced against animated films: I just find that they don't hold my attention. But I'm trying to overcome that bias!

I'll have to give some thought to your other 2 questions & get back to you. BTW, sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet on your essay, I promise to do that by tomorrow. I'm working on zip03 & trying to shove all distractions aside. I spent a lot of time this weekend revamping the zip website, here's what it looks like now (still not finished)!
