Blog 4: The Real and Realism of Animations

             When taking in Walt Disney's quote, there is a fundamental understanding behind his words.  "I definitely feel that we cannot do the fantastic things based on the real, unless we first know the real" is a quote that still holds true to this day.  To interpret his quote, Disney is stating that unless we know how real objects move, feel, weigh, and interact with other objects, our animation will not have the same quality of 'life' than if you knew the real, physical properties of the way objects exist in our world.

            When comparing Disney's quote to Chapter 2 of 'Illusion of Life', the two seem to go hand-in-hand, as Disney himself prided and focused on bringing life to his works.  The amount of time that it takes to create a semblance of life in each frame of animation requires an understanding of the properties of different materials, movements, forces, and mechanics.  This leads into the idea that without proper understanding of real-world physics and motions, the animations we can create will not have the same vibrant 'life', on screen, that exists in our world.
