NEW MEDIA: Shrek

June 10th, 2007 by Susan


Watching Shrek, I’m still amazed at the animation.  Just amazingly detailed and smooth.  One of the best illustrated characters is Lord Farquaad. 

The programming and software on something like this must be amazing. 

Another thing that I really love with this movie–which is really geared for adults rather than kids who may or may not catch some of its subtleties–is the humor, a bit dark at times, just love it.

Hmmm.  The princess just turned into her ogre form.  She’s saying how ugly she is and the donkey’s first reaction confirms it.  But in truth, she’s not.  Really, she’s a little on the chubby side, has a round lump of a nose, long thin funnels for ears, and is green, but basically, she’s kind of cut–certainly not ugly.

Getting back to the graphics, I’m absolutely awed–and inspired by the animation.
