dangerous for mortal stars….

An interview with Computer Animator Glenn McQueen
NOVA: How does the animation process happen?
GM: First, the art department and director design the models, first on paper, then in the computer – think of
them as being puppets in the computer. You can look at this character from any point of view. There’s sort of a
virtual camera that lives in the computer, and you can position that anywhere around the character and look at
it from any point of view. One of the first things we do as animators is test these models to make sure that they
have the flexibility to make them act. Whether the character is a grasshopper or a spaceman, you are probably
going to want the elbow to bend and the wrist to bend. You want the head to twist and move up and down. It’s
the visual and the technical people working together, every now and then having to compromise a little bit, but
to come up with the best character solution for what we’re going to need in the film…
NOVA: What part of a film do you contribute?
GM: Each animator is given a series of shots in the film. Every time the camera changes, it’s a different shot.
Hopefully, they’re consecutive shots so you can keep the continuity going from one shot to the next. All the
dialogue is prerecorded before the animators ever get the shots. So we listen to the dialogue again and again.
We act it out. We do thumbnail sketches. We videotape ourselves acting it out. Essentially the animator is sort
of a mute actor. We have to use someone else’s line, but what the body does, how the character move during
that line, how many gestures, what the facial expression is, is entirely up to the animator…
Write whether true or false:
1.
There’s sort of a virtual camera that lives in the computer.
2.
Animators do not need to test these models.
3.
All the dialogue is prerecorded before the animators ever get the shots.
4.
The animator is sort of a mute actor.

Question 4: (Composition)
1. Like the research report, one kind of writing is informative, or expository, which requires
you to explain why something is important. These test questions also ask you to clarify, or
make clear, a topic, these essays are sometimes called clarification essays.
Read the prompt below and think about how you would answer it. Then, study the steps in the
Change of seasons or holidays—we each have a favorite time of year, whether that time is an
entire season or a special holiday. Before you begin writing, think about which season or
holiday is your favorite. Then, write an essay explaining why you prefer that time of year above
all others.
2. “What You Read”
Directions: Try to answer the question below.
Question: Have you read any good books lately? What kind of books do you like best?
Example Answer: I really enjoy reading science fiction. Science fiction stretches my
imagination. The characters are usually ordinary people in extraordinary
circumstances. Although the situations are fictional, the reactions of the characters are
realistic. Science fiction is a different way of looking at reality.
3. Write a persuasive essay on starting a paper-recycling program at our school. Refer to
the Writer’s model on page 735 of your student book. Give an opinion statement, three
reasons and a conclusion for your essay.
4. Poetry can pack a lot of ideas into just a few words. To respond to a poem, you need to make
sense of it first. Read the following poem, “Growing Up,” by Harry Behn, and consider your
personal response to it. Memorize the poem
Growing Up
By Harry Behn
When I was seven
We went for a picnic
Up to a magic
Foresty place.
I knew there were tigers
Behind every boulder,
Though I didn’t meet one
Face to face.
When I was older
We went for a picnic
Up to the very same
Place as before,
And all of the trees
And the rocks were so little
They couldn’t hide tigers
Or me anymore.
