Hi Jack,
If character animation is what you're into, I highly suggest you not overlook traditional drawing as a means of developing that art.
I watched the animations on your site, and I can see some promising stuff there, but overall, I don't get a sense of life. Your keys seem very linear, especially in your 3-minute piece with the wizard; there are lots of frozen poses, and unmotivated pauses in the movement. The computer is full of tools to overcome those issues—one of which is the curve editor. I don't know what software you use, but any animation software these days will have a Function Curve editor, which is basically a graph of all your animation that you can edit. This is where you take your key frames and tell the computer how to draw the inbetweens. I do a lot of my overlapping action with just these curves, moving existing key frames around. On another note—that Photoshop composite with the skier is excellent!
—Marco
Which of the following does the author NOT suggest m Jack？
A．Learning some traditional drawing.
B．Using the Function Curve Editor.
C．Referring to three-minute animations.
D．Recommending the Photoshop composite.
"HI there． How's it going7"
"Oh, fine． Fine． How about this weather, huh？"
"Well, I guess we can always use the rain．"
What's that？ This story？ Oh, just a little look at small talk． You know; those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day． Maybe you're waiting for the elevator． Or in a line at the bank． It all seems pretty trivial． Idle chatter about traffic doesn't do much more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten． But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives．
Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, "Left unchecked, small talk can be an invasion． It's so powerful． It does something to you．" "Every morning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secretary," Oliver says, "If I don't make small connection with another person, I can't work．"
What causes it？ As a rule, you're either trying to force something into your life, or you're using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out． You can be wanting to connect with another person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaningful conversation．
The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time． Take the elevator, for instance． Now there's prime territory． Nobody knows anyone and there's no reason no start a conversation, but invariably, someone does． Making conversation in such peaceful social settings, according to oliver, "can confirm your territory． It's a way of feeling like and accepted．"
The topics of small talk don't matter． In fact, you don't want anything more taxing than the weather or tile traffic． It's non-threatening talk in a threatening situation． However, the rules change quickly when you're with lots of people doing lots of talking．
Let's say you're at a party． Now it's time to use small talk as a way of making others feel more comfortable around you, so you don't look silly standing by the food table alone all night．
"Small talk", as interpreted by the author,______．
A．has no real function in communication at all
B．is usually meaningless and therefore useless
C．is not as idle as it may seem to be
D．is restricted to certain topics only

W: I wrote my first finished story when I was about 6. It was about a small animal, a rabbit I mean, and I've been writing ever since.
M: Why did you choose to be an author？

M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults？
W: My fast two novels were for adults. I suppose I might write another one, but I never really imagine a target audience when I'm writing. The ideas come first, so it really depends on the idea that grabs me next!
M: Where did the ideas for the Harry Potter hooks come from？
W: I've no idea where ideas come from and I hope I never find out. It would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny little wrinkle on the surface of my brain which makes me think about invisible train platforms.
M: How do you come up with the names of your characters？
W: I invented some of the names in the Harry books, but I also collect strange names. I've gotten them from medieval saints, maps, dictionaries, plants, war memorials, and people I've met!
