  1. In another thread you wrote this...

     I have revived another system to High Sierra 10.13.6 and have installed my AM ver. 16.0 so now I should be able to work again BUT my activation code is not working so how do I get in touch with Jason for a new code.....

     

    Based on what you describe, the code you previously bought was installed and working on another computer? That will cause the error you cite above when you try to use it on another computer.

    If it's not expired, then ask Jason if he can write it to transfer a new computer.

    If it is expired, then you need to buy a new license and get a new activation code.

    Do you mean you are trying to sign into your Hash store account? Or something else?

     

    If you are trying to log into the store, did you try resetting your password?

    Of course, you must be using the exact same email address you signed up with.

  3. Bugs Bunny was the rare non-Disney cartoon character that everyone involved wanted credit for.

    A newspaper obit that attributed Bugs to Leon Schlesinger caused a ruckus in 1950 and precipitated this follow up...

    Then there's this guy who had nothing to do with creating Bugs Bunny...

  4. Such exceedingly broad and loquacious questions give the unfortunate appearance of an unserious post.

    I suggest you bring specific questions as they occur in your work.

    For example:

    Quote

    I find rigging quite complex; and sometimes my rigs don't behave as expected during animation.

    That isn't enough information to answer to. It is best to post an example of the problem in a case like that.

    Or you can bring it to Live Answer Time (see the link in my signature below).

     

  5. Hi Myron!

    For a folder... RMB on User Properties and do New Property>Folder.

    RMB on the folder to Rename it

    Once you have the folder you drag a Pose by the cross hairs icon next to its name onto the folder .

    You can't drag the poses within the folder to re-order them but you can drag a pose up onto the folder to make it the last in the list.

  6. For a few months in 1953, Warner Bros. closed most of its animation studio, thinking that 3D has made flat cartoons obsolete.

    Director Chuck Jones was laid off and immediately scooped up by Walt Disney to work on ... something? Anything?

    This letter (I think it's real) by Jones to his former layout artist, Michael Maltese, indicates some culture shock of going from being a big dog in small yard to being a small dog in a big yard.

  7. "Don't steal crops, kids"

    This 1930s Soviet animation looks like they still had more exposure to the 1920s Fleischer animation than the contemporary Disney product.

    I've read differing accounts of how the electronic sound was produced. One offers that it is an early electronic instrument. The other is that they were drawing wave forms by hand for the optical sound track.

     

    Original soundtrack with subtitles:

     

    With modern commentary

     

    It's ambitious but it's no "Worker & Parasite"!

  8. This clip from "King of Jazz" (1930) has some mostly-lame dancing, but check out the guy who shows up after 2:00.

    He can out-rubber-hose any of the rubber-hose animated characters of that time.

    This is "two-strip" Technicolor. Red and some other non-red color. Stop-mo shoes and Bing Crosby are seen at the start.

    This is Ted Eshbaugh's 1933 "Wizard of Oz" made in Canada in 1933... in Technicolor!... but not released in that form as Disney had an exclusive license for "3 strip" Technicolor at that time.

    In view of that license, I'm wondering how Eshbaugh ever got Technicolor equipment to make the cartoon with.

    Via the web I've found out a bit more. On Facebook a commenter has said:

    Quote

    OK, turns out the Eshbaugh Oz cartoon was a demo produced by Technicolor to sell the process, which Disney bought on sight.

     

    So they paid Eschbaugh to make the Technicolor demo but then they dumped him.

     

    That sounds like what happened to Anzovin Studios with that "Keekat" project.

     

  10. Here's another music-animation tie in... Disney failed to renew the copyright of "Mad Doctor"(1933) in 1961 so it got pinched for this concert poster.

    Look at that line-up! At least half of those are legends. When giants walked the Earth.
    I don't think anyone could put together ten acts of this stature today.

    Edit:  I gave it a quick look.  The shield: What? Why  How? Which tutorial covers it?


    Ignore the "shield". There used to be more to that to try to keep the hair out of the character's eyes but it needs more R&D.

    Made you look!

  12. A day later... there is nothing memorable about the actual music.

    She sings well enough but I had to play it again to recall anything about the music. The song itself has nothing compelling to retain.

    It sounds like a collage of dance things we have heard a hundred times before.  In the 80s the better songs sounded different from each other and had at least one memorable hook.

    There is nothing novel here... except the animation, which is the only reason to revisit this video.
