Students create cool animated shorts

Posted by admin On July - 26 - 2009 1 COMMENT

calarts1California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) is a school established by Walt Disney in 1961 so that inspiring artists can freely express themselves while preparing for a career. The school’s alumni include Tim Burton (Nightmare Before Christmas), Craig McCracken (The Powerpuff Girls), and John Lasseter (co-founder of Pixar). While looking into the possibility of attending their School of Film and Video for character animation I came across several student made animation shorts. Here are my top favorites:

l_024f441a278843b0ba92def2021af0b2Pause Stop Rewind: Where did you get the idea to upload videos on YouTube?

DFizzy:
One night, I was bored so I was going through YouTube and watching several videos by Sxephil, Zipster08, and ArshaAsteraki.I would have to say they inspired me the most to start making YouTube videos.

How serious did you take your video quality when you first started compared to how you do now?

When I first started YouTube I didn’t really focus on the quality of the video. I’d just come up with a random video idea without even scripting it, record via the built in iSight on my Macbook and edit directly on iMovie. Now, I am using a video camera to record and I use several video editing software. I feel that the video quality itself has gotten much better although the content is something I’m working on.


Where did the name “Dfizzy” come from? And whatever happen to using “DeeFizzy”?

The name “Dfizzy” was actually a nickname from a friend. When going to sign up “Dfizzy” on youtube I saw it was taken so I did the very uncreative thing to do and added 2 E’s after the D instead.

Looking back now how much would you say you improved and changed?

Since I started YouTube right before the school year started I didn’t have all the time to focus on it. So, not many videos were uploaded meaning I didn’t really change or improve much. If anything, I’d say I am improving with my upcoming videos.

Have you ever done UMAD to your mom?

Yes I have done it to her before and it ended with her yelling at me. She was definitely mad.

What kind of conditioner do you use for your hair?

The best kind.

Where do your video ideas come from?

Often my video ideas are based off of conversations I’ve had with people or things that people have said. For example, with the Unibrow video, I was actually inspired to make it by the simple comment “shave off the uni brow.”

Have you ever been recognized in the real world?

Yes, I’ve been recognized a few times and it’s definitely the best feeling in the world to have someone know who you are from doing something you love. I’ve been seen at places like the mall and several times at Warped Tour.

What would you say is the biggest mistake new YouTuber’s make?

Trying to be something they’re not.

Now what is the biggest mistake that you have made?

The biggest mistake I’ve made is coming up with video ideas and neglecting to make them. I think if I had actually gone through with several video ideas I’ve had, they would have been big hits.

Looking back, did you ever think you would get this far and do so much?

Absolutely not. I never thought I would get this much support or even know the people I know today.

What’s next for DFizzy?

You will just have to see.

Makes sure you check out DFizzy's videos, twitter, and website.
