Text of the page (random words):
to mention yes it is an awful racket i thought it interesting that the commentators mention that the film was copyrighted december 1928 so walt may have seen a preview print at a distribution office labels other disney posted by hans perk at 1 00 am 0 comments sunday september 28 2008 prod mm8 the plow boy remember that i spoke of a box of early disney goodies in kentucky sold off at christie s east here is one of the items sold at the time the storyboard of the 1929 short the plow boy drawn by ub iwerks the director i scanned these from christie s june 9th 1995 catalog in lieu of a draft this has animator assignments on it the catalog front page is in color so i reconstructed it here click on it here are all the pages the early mickeys were made in close cooperation between walt disney and ub iwerks ub drew the boards but walt was never far away some of the names may not be in walt s handwriting as noted in the description read this though as it saves me from typing a lengthy redundant explanation click to enlarge i believe i was told this board fetched a neat 42 000 note imdb calls the film the plowboy but some contemporary documents i have call it the plow boy and even the plough boy labels draft other disney shorts shorts_powers posted by hans perk at 1 00 pm 4 comments looking back a quick word before i continue with new postings if you are new to my blog i d like to refer you to the archive pages linked to in the right side bar here you can find out how most all of disney s shorts from 1928 and for some 25 years onwards were timed to a musical beat you can read who animated which scenes on 60 disney short films and five feature films you can find the technical manuals and transcripts of action analysis classes of the 30s and let s not forget information on early disney patents there are animation drawings model sheets articles and curiosa most of the stuff in the 433 postings over the last 2 years and a bit has never been published anywhere else and then there is some info on my own studio as well this last week saw the danish premiere of our feature film journey to saturn based on the 1970s danish graphic novel by the late claus deleuran labels

comments saturday september 06 2008 musical beats revisited now hear it from an old master much of animation is simply a matter of doing a job as it should be done maybe a scene is no more than a funny walk or a brief dance step an animator s responsibility is to interpret a track picking it apart mentally and then making his animation interpret each innuendo each nuance with drawings that hopefully add life to a scene even beyond the scope of the soundtrack an important part of a track is musical the music beat is vital to the artist on an animator s work sheet usually referred to as an exposure sheet music beats are indicated in actual film frames an eight 8 beat would be eight frames of film a twelve 12 beat twelve frames of film it is natural to assume that an artist s plan would be to carefully accent each musical beat however astute animators avoid anything so mundane a musical beat is a marvelous thing an animator can split it in the middle avoid it completely or even divide it into three or four parts as a musical composer often does a musical beat is the skeleton on which an animator builds the muscle of his action he can plan an accent to happen before behind or right on a beat according to how he desires to psyche his audience art babbitt the suave and talented savant of animation s golden years has a tantalizing way of reaching an accent a twelfth of a second late it reminds one of a magician catching a coin or a playing card in midair at the very instant you are sure he will not get it it is maddening but it is good entertainment an experienced animator has many strings on his bow milt kahl recently retired zeus among animators picks up a beat with the adeptness of sherlock holmes pinpointing an important clue in a murder plot to frank thomas an artist with unusual musical skills the reading of a beat came naturally and tastefully he accomplished it with the sang froid of a fastidious gourmet putting just the proper touch of escoffier sauce to a serving of chilled oysters every beat has its special character its special importance freddy moore had a slam bang manner of animating rough shod through one beat then picking up the next beat with the caution one might use in picking up a live rattlesnake norm ferguson master of all of the elements of animation could carry three characters through a syncopated sound track and put the right emphasis on each beat so neatly that no one could ever quite tell how it happened his exposure sheets were more complicated than the musical score for beethoven s 9th symphony bill tytla was a glittering star among animators a modern pieter brueghel working with living pawns a wild cossack riding a loco horse over the steppes of the ukraine he was a wizard at searching out beats a fantastic planner and plotter sometimes a beat is hidden away in a pile of trashy sound effects but it is still worth searching for bill always found and used a hidden beat it added a touch of tabasco to his animation too often a novice hopes to accent a beat with exaggerated mouth action mouths can be funny but they do little to help an accent even with funny dialogue a body accent a dramatic posture is the thing always an animator may have a track that is only dialogue or recorded sound lacking a musical beat with which to work he must choose from the track accents on which he can structure his animation thus wrote master animator grim natwick of betty boop and snow white fame on january 6th 1978 in an article or chapter called reading sound it is not known to me what he wrote this for but i find it very interesting and in line with my previous postings on beats and barsheets if you have not yet read these i invite you to do so as animation to a musical beat has been undervalued for much to long especially among cg artists who wrongly consider any technique applied to hand drawn animation to be too old fashioned or just inapplicable to the cg medium in the past century many wonderful artists have pioneered the medium of entertainment through animation and it would be a crying shame not to at least take notice of their advancements labels barsheets beatronome other disney posted by hans perk at 3 00 am 3 comments wednesday september 03 2008 a long story short or how two sheets of paper got united after some 25 years in truth i never thought i would see this draft completed i had previously posted page one of it the first image below and noted that it was the first page of the original typed draft of prod cm 10 the birthday party directed by burt gillett released jan 6th 1931 it only goes to show that it s a small world after all when director burt gillett 1891 1971 was lured away by van beuren in 1934 after his tremendous success with three little pigs he took with him to new york a box of drawings and notes he gave these to a joannie the 14 year old daughter of a family that gillett and his first wife louise had befriended the family of george and anna oberle lived on 647 undercliff ave eight houses from gillett in nr 615 in edgewater nj years passed and so did joannie joan elizabeth oberle born in 1920 was accidentally shot and killed by her fiancee on october 25 1939 and the box ended up with her sister ruth ann and her second husband a farmer and very nice person claude crastan who moved to kentucky in the 70s they rediscover the box and split it into two boxes and try to find interest in the items but find there isn t any then in the late 80s they happen to see an article about a new york collector in a magazine and they contact him and sell him a stack of papers for 800 only to read in their local newspaper a short while later that he had sold a single item from those papers at auction for 24 000 later they find he sold many of the items through cristie s east selling for as much as 44 000 for a two page item they contact christie s and in 1994 and 1995 sell most of the rest of the items for about a quarter of a million dollars original ub iwerks storyboards for some of the earliest mickeys animation drawings and layouts stills and even original oswald contracts between walt disney and margaret winkler mintz i am certain that for disney animation history this was the find of decade though probably not many knew the source of this material late last year the good folks in kentucky find a box with the left over materials that christie s had sent back as they did not think these would sell and i am fortunate to have been able to acquire quite a few of these items through ebay story notes outlines scribbles and a short stack of flippable animation drawings from the 1930 short just mickey and one of the items is page two of two of the birthday party draft it matches exactly over page one even the stains from the paper clip match obviously page one had come to me circuitously through the new york collector s purchase eventually sold to me by a florida seller but both pages unquestionably started out in that same box in kentucky now they re united and complete again after some 25 years how about that christie s did not always know what they were dealing with as several of the items they sold cheaply had walt disney s handwriting on them and they did not notice this i now know a great deal more about walt s handwriting and i am certain that the red markings on this draft are in his hand the name flohri is also his scribble and i now suspect it was his assignment of background painter emil flohri 1865 1938 to this project since walt s work was his life as mike barrier knows but neil gabler doesn t seem to looking at their books he was a very hands on producer in this period actively involved in every phase of production ruth oberle crastan born in 1929 died in 2013 claude crastan born in 1935 died in 2018 updated after 2025 research labels draft other disney shorts_columbia posted by hans perk at 5 00 am 1 comments monday september 01 2008 prod um26 mickey plays papa first the copyright synopsis so we know what we are dealing with if we cannot quickly pull out disc 2 of the treasures dvd mickey mouse in black and white vol 2 click on it directed by burt gillett released 9 29 34 this draft dated 6 18 34 animation by hardie little toot gramatky marvin woodward johnnie cannon bob wickersham tom palmer one scene fred moore dick lundy bill roberts and of course ben sharpsteen also as supervisor of cy young and roy williams the story is simple and sweet but somewhat curious maybe naive is a better description the animation shows lapses back to the simpler style of a few years earlier with speedlines galore but we are also seeing small glimpses of things to come in the color mickeys a year later hardie gramatky s figure slinking about the house is very theatrical but as such nicely animated while johnnie cannon s scenes with a scared mickey and pluto even here seem a bit old fashioned the same goes for lundy s scenes of mickey in the kitchen fred moore and bill roberts business with pluto is nice but seems somewhat contrived and not as felt as norm ferguson s animation of the time but most important the film is character driven from start to finish and whatever shortcomings the animation might have the storytelling holds our interest in the characters in a way a precursor to snow white which at this time had begun its preproduction things are finally somewhat back to normal and i will be posting more regularly labels draft shorts shorts_ua posted by hans perk at 1 00 pm 2 comments older posts newer posts category
