What Makes a Brad Bird Film?



 


    One of the greatest filmmakers who ever lived who not only makes animated movies, but makes live action films as well! You may not have heard off him, but his movies are iconic. His films include The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, Ratatouille, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, and Tomorrowland. He is one off my faviorite animators and filmmakers and we pretty much share all of the same interests and we have similar personalities. So I feel like if I knew him, we would be best friends lol! I think he probably the best director at Pixar. But what makes a Brad Bird film a Brad Bird film? Lets find out.



Fantastic Staging 


    


    Staging is where the characters are put and where there supposed to be in the scene. Brad Bird is a master at setting the stage. The Frames in his films look like a work of art. And are next thing has a lot to do with this to.










                                                                                    


Playful Cinema

    Tons off directors cut to each character really quickly. Not Brad Bird. The camera is treated like a character and follows the characters around. The camera moves from one place to another like a paint brush. Here's video that will explain a little bit more.



Outcasts




    This one speaks for itself. Usually the outcasts have special abilities like superpowers or the power to cook.


A113




    A113 is a room number at a college called Cal Arts and this was the room where some off the best animators learned animation. This room number is also in every Pixar movie, not just Brad Bird films.



 






50's or 60's Retro Look and Feel




    

    Brad Bird truly is a visionary. Whether he's working on a animated movie or a live action movie, he puts his all into making his films, Incredible. No pun intended.

Underrated Animation: Looney Tunes: Back in Action: One of the best live action/animation hybrid movies ever

Image
    Looney Tunes Back in Action is outstanding! It is  very underrated! It is a lot like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Mary Poppins where it combines 2d hand drawn animation and live action. The movie combines everything I love about Looney Tunes and more with monsters, spy's, Steve Martin, Westerns, Adventure films, and everything else I love. The interactions between the animated characters and the human characters are amazing, very fun to look at, here is an example.      The animation is gorgeous, oh and also, IT IS HILARIOUS! I was dying of laughter! It gets the personalities of the looney tunes characters down. Tons of looney tunes and movie references that I love! Making fun of product placement! To be honest with you, its better then Space Jam and here's why. Space Jam is fantastic but it does make very little sense. There's a lot of plot holes and questionable things, however the looney tunes characters, the animation, humor, and the originality of t...

Animated Films with stylized animation (and how they did it)

Image
 I got a ton of reviews for movies and shows that I wanna do but I feel like I've been doing a lot of reviews lately, so I'm gonna do this instead. It gives me a little else to talk about. Today I'm gonna talk about movies with animation that looks like nothing we've seen before and how they did it. I also put videos so you can see the process. Spider-Man into the Spiderverse Spider-Man into the Spiderverse is a groundbreaking film in many ways. But one reason is because of its incredible animation! How they made the computer animation look like a comic book is amazing! How they did it is they put a lot of 2-D lines on the characters face. Look closely on Miles' face, see how the wrinkles on his forehead look hand drawn. They also animated most of the movie on twos, which means that they are 12 frames of animation in one second instead of the 24 frames of animation in one second which is used in most animated films. They did this to make the animation feel more grap...
