KIDD THE CHEESE MONKEYS

One of the reasons I like this reading is the language and structure. For example, “ Ladies and Gentlemen ”, “ you are going to war” and “ Now that’s where the real fun begins”. The writer use lots formal words that make this book not like a book, like a conversation between readers and writers. This style actually as the same as what the author talks about in the book, the new thinking about the drawing. He analogies our normal thinking about drawing is like our enemy. We need to think about us and break the rules about the drawing. After that, we are going to a new world.  He talks about big and small, left to right, front and back, top and bottom and from and content these stuffy to describe his think about drawing. I think the writer want use to know we need to be a conceptive, and detail-oriented before we drawing.

The problem for me about this reading is it looks like preface or introduction about this book and his main idea. I kind of hard to exactly know what does he want to talk about the war and who is your enemy. How we can beat them and so on. But in a word, I think this book must be very cool which is written by a cool person. And I also very interested about the book name “ cheese monkeys’

I like the movie “The Lord of the Rings” which also uses the digital animators which is the main idea in this reading. I was surprised and shocked by the characters that are created by human when I watch the “The Lord of the Rings”. That’s an amazing.  From this reading, I know that its very difficult to make a digital animators. For examples, how to make the skin looks soft like the real man? There are 44 muscles in a human face and a person can have 5000 facial expressions. How to put the soul into digital animators to make audience can feel their emotions?  Another problem is they can not make the animators too real. :0…

The confusion is another point in this reading their job is not creating the new and real man, is to fool audience. That is enough . haha ..So are we cheated by the creators?  How to explain and understand this point?
