Săptămâna aceasta, noua prinţesă Disney îşi face debutul în pelicula “The Princess And The Frog”, care are premiera la New York şi Los Angeles.

Noua prinţesă – Tiana – este diferită de predecesoarele sale şi, pentru prima oară în istoria animaţiei Disney, este vorba de o prinţesă afro-americană.

Prinţesa Tiana a “împrumutat” vocea cântăreţei şi actriţei Anika Nonie Rose, care crede că noul personaj animat va avea mare succes la copii.

“A durat mult timp, dar mă bucur că a apărut” această prinţesă, a spus ea.

Bonnie Greer, scenarist şi producător afro-american, spune că, în timp ce noua prinţesă de culoare reprezintă şi un pas simbolic important pentru Disney, această mişcare are şi motivaţii comerciale.

Disney s-a gândit că, probabil, a venit vremea pentru o prinţesă de culoare şi că “este ca urmare a combinaţiei între un nou preşedinte, sentimentul că este vremea pentru o schimbare ,continuare.

The show is about Boo the baby orangutan and his two young caretakers who go on their daily adventure teaching him to respect and preserve his environment.
“Simply put, Animate gives animators and clean-up artists a higher degree of flexibility. The fusion of Flash and Toon Boom Studio functionalities makes their lives easier and ultimately speeds up the production. The brush function is much more advanced, giving animators more choices to create specific moods for certain scenes,” commenetd Jane Lee

One should be fortunate enough to be working in a project team where the team members are like minded. If not like minded, atleast they should be adjusting. If not both, they should atleast NOT be stupidly irritating…else, they stand a good chance of being made fun of!!
When people ask me:
1) How can someone even manage with you being in their team? You don’t work, you don’t let others work, you distract people by taking them on periodic coffee breaks and when no one’s around, you ping people on the communicator irrespective of their (usually false) status’s…How can someone even complete their work man?
2) You involve yourself a lot in non-project related activities…Pitstop, Outreach, Blogs, OCS, etc…what project related work do you do?
and so on…all I do is, smile.
Smart work cannot be projected, nor can it be put in mere words.
But then there are (terrific) chances that smart work cannot be recognized too…my appraisal ratings talk about that!!

Anyways, don’t run away….this is not an advice kind of a post!! I was just giving some build-up trailer to some bakwaas conversation I had with one of my friend.
Last weekend over gtalk, I happened to ask her “You never tell me about the characters in your project…are they so good that you don’t have anything to talk about them? No one to make fun of eh?”

Note: At this point, I’m sure a few will keep it in mind to ask me “How come all your friends are gals, Sree?” in the comment section. And in my usual style I would give them all, a smile!!

I think she was waiting for someone to ask her that question. I had a good laugh over the next 30 mins, as she narrated how she worked in the best team possible…sarcasm can jump in the well, if you didn’t get that one!!

Here goes our chat:

Disclaimer: I’ve edited some part of the chat!! Why? Well…since you guys are already aware that I don’t flirt, I need not showcase those pointers in our conversation.

Me: “You never tell me about the characters in your project…are they so good that you don’t have anything to talk about them? No one to make fun of eh?”
She: “Aha…you never asked me…well…you wanna hear? might take sometime…”

Me: “Hmm…I’m a very busy chap…but OK, I’ll make some time for ya…Start! “
She: “Don’t bull me ok? Anyways…my team consists of 5 cartoon characters “

Me: “Does it include you too? “
She: “Don’t poke your nose, if you want me to tell you what happened two days ago!”

Me: “Ok ok ok…continue re baba!”
She: “As I said, my team consists of 5 cartoon characters.
1 – my TL (let’s name her Sonia Gandhi…for better understanding )
2 – my team mate (Manmohan Singh)
3 – my humble self
4 – another team mate, a gal who thinks she has won the Miss Universe pagaent
and 5 – an ELT, who due to lack of work at hand roams around the bay seeing award hangings on walls, as though he is at an art exhibition “

Me: “Wow…is your PM ok? How does she/he manage Walt Disney Productions?”
She: “He’s a busy person handling many projects, so doesn’t interfere much in our day to day activities…troublesome yes, when we need leave approvals but then overall he’s just fine!”

Me: “Hmm…ok ok ok..continue”
She: “Ya…so…everyday Manmohan Singh comes in at 8 and leaves by 10..as per the PM and TL, he is THE ONE to handle the release but that only means that he is just dumped with more-n-more work…he has high hopes of going onsite..which sadly he (and me too) knows that he wont get it!
As for me, I just give my count of 15 per day..and leave by 8..my past experiences have taught me well “

Me: “15 counts of what?”
She: “Test cases re…don’t ask me such stupid questions…”

Me: “Err…ok ok ok…15 per day…no wonder why we developers hate testers! “
She: “And we have lots of work, thanks to the stupidity of people like you! What about that? “

Me: “Ok ok ok…continue…tell me about that Miss Universe female! “
She: “Despo…I knew you would surely ask about her even if I had deliberately missed…well…Miss Universe is very smart you know..although she knows everything, she will act dumb…to avoid being given work! A 3B combo…Beauty-Brain-Bull…And the ELT is no where in picture, currently “

Me: “Hehe…so what happened?”
She: “Manmohan sits adjacent to me so I can see his monitor when I turn, and SoniaG always does what she is good at…handling the strings of her puppet (Manmohan-ji). She tried it on me too…but I don’t have any strings attached! “

Me: “Hehe…was that an intended pun? too good “
She: “Intended or not, it was an instant pun for sure! so…usually if SoniaG wants us to stay late, she will send a mail to Manmohan – asking him to tell us to stay till 8…and he will inturn send a mail to us deleting her id [psychic psychology]…this is the inside story, that I knew…but no one else knows “

Me: “Wah…Karamchand…Wah” (Note: For the unknown, Karamchand was Door-Darshan’s Sherlock Holmes!! )
She: “Hehe…so that day, only some modules were working properly…and we all gave a total count of 56…Miss Universe started packing up by 6:20…I had done my count of exact 15 so even I started to pack up…SoniaG (her count being 7) got all agitated…so she sent a mail to Manmohan with the subject liner “Ask them to stay till 8″…and since the two of us were already packing up, Manmohan got very tensed..lol…and in the hurry to send the mail to us he forgot to clear the subject line…lol lol lol…I told him he is going to get for it! And he was literally pleading to me not to leave my seat..cos if I do SoniaG will have all the liberty to pounce on him “

Me: “So even your TL ..aka.. Sonia, has to show a count of 15? good ya…mera wala ullu ka patta kuch karta hi nahi, sirf delegation…hmmph!”
She: “Jaise tu kuch karta hey! “

Me: “Oyee…chal then what happened?”
She: “What has to happen has to happen na? Next thing was SoniaG mailed him to join her in the meeting room…Miss Universe stayed till 8, but was reading a book even after being asked to work…I did just one test case from 6:45 to 8 Manmohan did 5, struggling on each of them and cursing himself…Madam SoniaG left doing nothing, at 7:15…I don’t really know what was the need for all this “stay till 8″ hallabulla…”

Me: “What to do, some have to do that to show who the leader is…leader of cartoons!! “
She: “I didn’t tell you all this story so that you can make fun of me…if I start talking about you, you’ll repent having made fun of me in the first place…hmmmph…”

Me: “Oyee…no no no…maaf karde!”
She: ” And you know what…the last time SoniaG had mailed him with subject line reading “Ask the one sitting next to you, to stay till 8!!”and I had just happened to turn to ask him something and saw it..and he was pleading to me saying ‘don’t tell her that you saw it’…hehe…I stayed till 8 and just cleared my inbox of all fwds and my drawer of all unwanted papers “

Me: “Thats bad ya…no work then why stay back? to show to others how hard you all work eh?”
She: “Dunno the reasons..and I don’t understand any bull….but ek ek namune hai mere team mein…And sadly, this story will continue Monday…sigh..”

Me: “Anyways, too bad ya…so what’s for dinner?”
She: “Ye lo…all you can be, is despo…then Miss Universe, now food…when will you ….blah blah blah…”

Next time you have a teammate who’s a pain in the wrong place, share your experiences with me…I would love to know those cartoons…There’s no bigger animation than in the life we are living through…all we need to do, is to recognize which character they fit into!!

PS: The anagram of ‘Animate’ gives “In a Team”…so the title!

Hoy empieza el evento Animate 09, la expo evento de comics, animñe, manga, juegos y todo el mundo fantástico. Está desde el 20 al 22 de noviembre, de 12 a 21 hs., y la entrada hoy es gratuita. Es en el centro de exposiciones, Figueroa Alcorta y Pueyrredón.

Bare in mind, this took them five years to make.

It’s got nothing on Pixar but nevertheless this is pretty brilliant. (There’s a quote for their marketing campaign).

Studiourile Disney si-au facut obiceiul de a lansa in preajma fiecarui Craciun cate un desen animat de sezon. Traditia a inceput in 1931 cu „Mickey’s Orphans” şi a continuat în anii următori cu „ Santa’s workshop”, „Mickey’s good deed”, „Toy tinkers” sau „Pluto’s”. „The Muppet Christmas Carol” creat de acelasi studio dupa 8 ani de pauza a avut un succes la fel de mare.

Vizionare placuta!

Boa noite ae

Vo escrever aqui sobre a função animate do JQuery e passar as coisas que eu sei e algumas coisas que eu faço

A função animate serve para animar qualquer elemento na página

1º – exemplo de como usar ela de uma forma simples

$(‘#imagem’).mouseover(function(){
$(this).animate({“height”:”600px”},500);
});

Bom aqui o que acontece é o seguinte quando o usuario passar com o mouse no elemento com o id “imagem” o elemento com esta id vai crescer ou diminuir a uma altura de 600px em 500 milisegundos gradualmente até atingir os 600px ao inves do 500 vocÊ pode usar também “slow”, “normal” ou “fast” devagar ou rápido não sei direito quanto é isso em números prefiro usar sempre números é mais fácil de controlar para achar o tempo do movimento certo.

$(‘a.links’).mouseover(function(){
$(this).animate({“marginLeft”:”60px”,”fontSize”:”10px”},500);
});

Aqui eu usei duas animações a margem a esquerda que é referida assim “marginLeft” ou “marginTop”, marginRight”,”marginBottom” e o tamanho da fonte em um link que esteja com a classe “links” o this pode ser trocado para um id ou class ou uma pseudo classe tipo p, span, strong, qualquer um q esteja na página

$(‘a.links’).mouseover(function(){
$(this).animate({“marginLeft”:”60px”,”fontSize”:”10px”},500,function(){
$(“#tooltip”).fadeIn();
});

Aqui eu estou dando um exemplo de callback que eu acho ótimo ela é executada depois que o movimento é completado no caso um elemento com o id “tooltip” aparece o movimento é o mesmo do exemplo anterior

Você pode usar o tanto de movimentos que quiser sempre separados por virgula e com os parametros separados com dois pontos (:)

Eu peguei da especificação da função no site dessa biblioteca maravilhosa rs a JQuery um exemplo dos movimentos que você pode dar ao elemento

width, opacity, marginLeft, fontSize, borderWidth entre outros

Bom é isso

link da especificação em inglês do efeito no site da JQeury  http://docs.jquery.com/Effects/animate

não uso mailto aqui pq acho horrivel

Take a look at one great piece done for it so far…

Excellent work done by Shawn Encarnacion!

Tare mie dor de anii in care ma duceam la gradinita ca sa ma joc si ma uit la desene sa mananc sa dorm(ceea ce uram pe atunci) sa fac o multime de lucruri pentru care as da aproape orice acum.Ei bine multe sau schimbat de atunci.Am multe amintiri,jocurile din parc ,casuta din copac excursile la munte ,multe dar,cele mai importante pe aceea vreme,erau desenele animate.Adoram o multime,Viata cu Louie, Copiii de la 402, Gemenii Cramp ,una cu Sharon pe Minimax sau asa ceva,in fine o multime.Acum,tot ce li se baga copiilor in cap e : violenta.Unde te uiti numai brutalitati ,batai razboaie…tampenii ce sa mai. Ma dar nu le-a ajuns cu violenta,si au dat-o pe sex.Da pe sex,uitati la ce se uita un copil de 7 ani sau mai putin,ce poate invata din asa ceva?
