Bald eagle sounds
These are some examples of bald eagle cries that may come in useful for the animation project
Dinosaur animation
What's unique is that it is all traditionally animated, yet most of the time it looks so 3D

Animation - Character ideas- Alvah
Alvah Reference sheet by ~GregTheLion on deviantART
Alvah is a character I created two years ago for a final major porject in college. Since then, I have been more connected to this character and the story it's in.
If my tutor will allow me to use this character, It will be used for an aniamtion idea.

3D animation and Modeling
Currently, my idea is a group of buildings so tall that they reach the o-zone. The backstory would be that most of the polar icecaps have melted and most of this city has become flooded.
So through out the week, we will be researching on objects and texture suited to our individual predictions; In this case, I'll be looking for shiny, glossy textures mostly, tall skyscrapers, and many types of aircraft.
I'll update this post with scans prior to this project soon

College Research:- Don Bluth
Don Bluth is one of the Greatest Animation directors in history, without a doubt. I never begin animating withought thinking about anything that was done by him.
His most noted work would have to be Secret of Nihm and Land before Time.
I quote from The Nostalgia Critic's Rock-a-doodle review:
"Director Don Bluth was by far one of the greatest animation GODS to have ever lived...in the 80's.
In the 90's, I think he left his brain in the food bar convention because he turned out some very strange, very medeoker material"
While I agree that his work during the 90's were very surreal, you cannot disagree that his animation does not go unnoticed.
His style of aniomation is cartoonic, but at the same time, he adds elements to make his animations more interesting and beautiful.
College research:- Bob Clampett
Bob Clampett was one of the main animation directors for Looney Tunes during the 1940's-50s (Back then, it was called Merrie Melodies mostly).
I love how the animation is so sharp, yet it animates to humor and slapstick brilliantly.
Other old directors for Lonney Tunes included Robert Mckimson, the late great Chuck Jones, and Tex Avery, who later left to animate for MGM (Droopy and Barney Bear) and then later for Walter Lantz studios (Chilly Willy)
