Consider this to be a birthday card to animation that you are signing. Feel free to post a drawing.

Here's to the most fascinating field there is- and to hopes that all who partake in it's creation and it's appreciation can learn the value of respect; not only for this medium, but in particular for one another, and for the manifold possibilities yet to be explored within this finest of art forms.

As a Baby Boomer, animation has been a part of my life from early childhood on. It has always been a happy part of my life. Best wishes, Animation, for many more centuries of growth.

I bow to the masters who created the artform and give thanks for an occupation that lets me, in turn, be creative. Happy birthday, Animation!

I do remember the Disney releases of the late 1940s, then CRUSADER RABBIT and the TV cartoons of the '50s, and so much after that. I have been enjoying animation all my life. Thank you for starting it all, Mr. Blackston!

Thank you to all the animators who have made the world(s) a better place. Celebrate.

I came home and am reported to have told my parents that this was different than Saturday morning cartoons. It engaged me on an emotional level and I wanted to know how it was done. Typical of my parents they took me to the library and I checked out as book on animation. With the knowledge I gained and my dad's 8mm movie camera that had a single frame abillity and release cable, I started to create stop motion shorts, Harryhausen and O'Brien inspired. I couldn't draw for beans (no...not the early WB character either). When I saw NEIGHBORS by Norman McLaren (still one of my all-time favorites) I was astonished to realize that too was animation and my friends and I played with pixillation. While my creation of animated work largely ceased after college, I am proud to have been able to present hundreds of animated works from throughout the history of the art at various theaters and film festivals I have programmed as well as having co-produced numerous theatrical packages of animated shorts.

Even though I am an art major, I pursued film studies and linked art and science through animation. I have always loved animation! I just celebrated my 50th birthday in January 2006. I went to Disneyland to celebrate as I have fond memories of the Park and the animated films as a child. My then husband, Glen, worked at Disney Studios during the 70's, which were very pleasant memories for us. So glad to sign this Birthday card and so happy to be a part of Animation's Birthday Celebration.

This exhibit exemplified how far the artform of animation has come over these past 100 years, while relying heavily on traditional art. This was such a fantastic collection of paintings, sculptures, character studies, as well as clips from their feature animation. They also showed various shorts chronicling their 20 years of existence (at least how it was). One thing that will remain a constant over the next 100 years of animation is the importance of being a true artist. As I overheard someone say "These people actually still paint (and draw and sculpt") As someone with an Art School degree (and a boring job to pay for it), I really enjoyed hearing this comment, and the ever-so-popular "My kids can get a job with their artistic skills." I encourage everyone to see this exhibit, which will hopefully be in San Francisco next. Happy Birthday animation, you've come a long way. -Sharon Eisenberg Chair Los Angeles Chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Page 1 of 3 » Jump to page   Go     Forum Jump--------------------» Home--------------------» ASIFA-Hollywood--------------------- ASIFA-Hollywood General- Questions And Suggestions- ASIFA-Hollywood Events- ASIFA-Hollywood's Annie Awards- ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive--------------------» Animation General--------------------- Los Angeles Animation Scene
