Jackie Chan ~ How to do Action-Comedy

This is one of the better Jackie Chan filmmaker guides we've seen. Good comedic timing and fight choreography should both follow a rhythmic timing beat. Framing the action against the weight of background elements gives more impact. Hero starts with low status.

Happy holidays!




Some filmmakers can do action. Others can do comedy. But for 40 years, the master of combining them has been Jackie Chan. Let’s see how he does it. (Note: to see the names of the films, press the CC button!)

Wreck-It-Ralph, Big Hero 6 - Design & 3D Models

Things have been super busy lately, taking care of my family in Australia as a beloved family member slowly passes. Some sad but beautiful life lessons, pain, and sharing moments for us.

Here's some great design, modeling, and character development work for Disney's Wreck-It-Ralph and Big Hero 6 from Dylan Ekren, who once described a good cartoon design as being like a "streamlined sports car," with its balance of curves, straights, and hit-points (focus points) where lines and shape edges come close or meet.
