3. " John Whitney"

His first works in film were 8 mm movies of a lunar eclipse which he made using a home-made telescope.  During the 1950s Whitney used his mechanical animation techniques to create sequences for television programs and commercials.  One of his most famous works from this period was the animated title sequence from Alftred Hitchcock's 1958 film Vertigo.  In 1960, he founded Motion Graphics Incorporated, which used a mechanical analogue computer of his own invention to create motion picture and television title sequences and commercials. The following year, he assembled a record of the visual effects he had perfected using his device, titled simply Catalog.

By the 1970s, Whitney had abandoned his analog computer in favor of faster, digital processes. The pinnacle of his digital films is his 1975 work Arabesque, characterized by psychedelic blooming color-forms. His work during the 1980s and 1990s, benefited from faster computers and his invention of an audio-visual composition program called the Whitney-Reed RDTD (Radius-Differential Theta Differential). Works from this period such as Moondrum (1989 - 1995) used self-composed music and often explored mystical or Native-American themes.

LACMA

Just arrived at the LACM

I remembered that we talked about here in class

Thought these lights were very cool

These is also what they put under there dresses to give them a little more butt 

The mouse elevators gave me ideas for my house to pass drinks ( fruit punch and lemonade)

These are what the ladies wore under there dresses to give them more body 

I thought this was cool because it reminded me of clowns and how they make balloons 

Here is my identity collage

Here are picture's that represent me

2. "Angry Little Asian Girl"

Lela Lee created the “angry little Asian girl, the first day of school” her sophomore year, while studying rhetoric at UC Berkeley. It took several years to add 4 more episodes; Pat, Saturday at the Park, Lunch with Sally, and Park Bench, compiling the original 5 episodes.

Lee was caught in the buzz of animation. The short video was acquired for exhibition by Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. Since Lee lives in Los Angeles she went on many meetings for her cartoon idea. Everyone agreed it was a great idea, but when asked why they wouldn’t bite, the answer Lee received was “there’s just no market for Asians."

True to her alter ego, Lee got angry and created more characters. Deborah, Wanda, Maria, Xyla, Pat, Patsy Pup, Percy Cat, and Chuy the Travelin' Chicken. And Lee continues to serve the market and audience everyone else said did not exist.

Finally in April 2005, the first Angry Little Girls compilation book was released by Harry N. Abrams. Just 2 months later, the book had gone into its' 4th printing.  Now Lela is on her 6th book; Fairy Tales for Angry Little Girls coming out in March 2011.  Angry Little Girls also appears on other products such as t-shirts,  tote bags and wallets, binders, alarm clocks, pens, pencils and lunchboxes.
