The Line: 2d animation studio from 1971

2011-11-20T12:18:00.000-08:00

La Linea ("The Line") is an Italian animated series created by the Italian cartoonist Osvaldo Cavandoli. The series consists of 90 episodes which are about 2–3 minutes long each which were produced originally broadcast in the Italian channel RAI between 1971 - 1986. Over the years the series aired in more than 40 countries around the world. All episodes of the series are available today on DVD version.

Due to its short duration (usually 2 minutes 30 seconds), it has often been used in many networks as an interstitial program.

The cartoon features a man (known as "Mr. Linea") drawn as a single outline around his silhouette, walking on an infinite line of which he is a part. The character encounters obstacles and often turns to the cartoonist to draw him a solution, with various degrees of success. One recurring obstacle was an abrupt end of line. The character would often almost fall off the edge into oblivion and get angry with the cartoonist and complain about it. He was voiced by Carlo Bonomi in a mock version of Milanese that resembled gibberish as much as possible, giving the cartoon the possibility to be easily exported without dubbing.

The first 8 episodes of the series were, in fact, created to publicize Lagostina kitchenware products, and the accompanying narration identified Mr. Linea as "Agostino Lagostina, a sharp little man with a truly expressive nose." After the 8th episode, however, the series broke its association with Lagostina.

We can consider this beautiful 2D animation, as a teacher in the field of custom video production!

Bruno Bozzetto, the master of video animation!

2011-11-07T13:07:00.000-08:00

He is an Italian cartoon animator, creator of many short pieces, mainly of a political or satirical nature. He created his first animated short "Tapum! the weapons' story" in 1958 at the age of 20.

His most famous character, a hapless little man named "Signor Rossi" (Mr. Rossi), has been featured in many animated shorts as well as starring in three feature films: "Mr. Rossi Looks for Happiness" (1976), "Mr. Rossi's Dreams" (1977), and "Mr. Rossi's Vacation" (1977).

Bruno is a genius of the video animations as he embarked on a new type of communication. The same type of communication that we promote with conviction to isketchyouridea.com: simple lines and images to communicate important messages. The video animation is a pleasant way to explain ideas, that goes to the heart of the audience and never goes out of fashion.

Isketchyouridea.com plans to interview soon this important person of the video animation's world to offer you a journey into the world of creativity.

We will keep you updated!

The soul of Video Animation

2011-11-02T04:48:00.000-07:00

You’re sitting in front of your computer to check updates on your Facebook account and suddenly your attention is caught by an advertisement of a product that you never thought of buying.

What could have caught your attention on something you wouldn’t bother looking at? Perhaps, a Video animation! How it is different in communicating to you from the usual banner ad is that video animation puts the viewer in front of a character and a story, which is catchy and exciting.

The video animation gets your attention and pulls you into the world revolving around the character. Most often than not, the world of the product it advertises. However, it goes beyond that, Video animation is a leap of creativity, Video animation draws a smile to you, Video animation wraps you in a world made up of designs and colors – It is where precision of the lines are not important! Video animation is usually playful and drives emotional attachment. And if the video animation is at its finest; it will drive you to make choices.

The aim of a video animator is to speak to the conscience, mind and soul through drawings! Capturing the audience through drawing by producing a character and pulling out colors are secondary, most important is the passion that drives the video animator to communicate. A good video animator needs to visualize the character and translate it into animation.

The passion for visual communication is the turning point of 2D video animation. The ability to convey and invoke emotion through freehand sketching is a fundamental component of the trade in video animation. The animator’s hand becomes the bridge between thought and image thus the end result being the video animation and the message that it conveys.
