Author of "The Animation Smears Book: Uncovering Film's Most Elusive Technique"

[WHYx3 @WHY_WHY_WHYx3]

My book on animation smears is finally out! This has been in production since 2011 and is the first of it's kind dedicated to the art of the abstract motion blur. Featuring more than a dozen techniques, it answers any question you ever had about smears. https://t.co/JU1B0DF5hF

@yumejosheep David Feiss is the likely animator for this intro (with Andy Gaskill as main title designer). Although Feiss appears uncredited for this specific season (The Chipmunks Go to the Movies), he was involved as an artist on Alvin before and was supervising producer on earlier seasons.

@dammitfranky @aalong64 This is exactly why I wrote a book on animation smears not too long ago, I feel like if people knew more about that stuff they'd be more open to it. https://t.co/EHkX1ctGIO

Another animator reel from me: Winfield Hoskins, an incredibly underrated artist who animated at both Disney and Fleischers. It wasn't until recently that this artist was identified, so please take a look! https://t.co/f3ARwjGBBj

@Gfurriends @ShadowKirbo0 I would say you're right. It is likely to be Ernesto.

[WHYx3 @WHY_WHY_WHYx3]

@nemalki Those first two shots are very likely to be the work of Ernesto Lopez, who migrated over to Filmation temporarily from Hanna-Barbera. https://t.co/o9p0BY9G8y

[WHYx3 @WHY_WHY_WHYx3]

I'm not done yet for the year! This new reel features an obscure but notable animator who has worked on many different productions. Heihachiro Tanaka had the quintessential career, working on a mix of classics of both anime and western shows. https://t.co/1luaahgBGh

@sorakurayusa 「タイニー���トゥーンズの夏休み」への参加についてお聞きしたいです。 このシーンを誰がやったか知っていますか？ このシーンはバットマンでこのシーンを描いたのと同じアニメーターによって作成されたという噂がインターネット上で広まっています。 https://t.co/b2nkZg17K8

The Walter Lantz studio briefly closed for almost six months back in 1940. While it's not known what entirely happened during this period, it seems that Woody Woodpecker animator Les Kline (or an assistant of his) freelanced at Fleischer Studios, mainly for the Popeye series.

@ani_obsessive I haven't thought about the idea of turning it into an article, but I think I can leave that in the hands of others who are way more qualified in writing that sort of material than I can. I wish I could of included more of his work in Mexico, but a lot still seems hard to find.

[WHYx3 @WHY_WHY_WHYx3]

My newest animation reel is about one of the most important animation artists of all-time. Ernesto Lopez is one of the few names people might remember when they see Hanna-Barbera cartoons, but his history extends far beyond that as I detail below. https://t.co/138cMmfYjX

In "Big House Bunny," Yosemite Sam escapes from a prison cell without detailing how. Examining a similar shot in the film reveals that the warden possibly called Sam to his office, explaining how he left. This theory for the original scene is restored here using existing footage.

A massive thanks goes out to @KingMcdaniel20 and @tinybirbsakuga for their help on this project! As you can see, the identity of this animator has been one of my projects for a long time and I'm glad to say that all of these shots, which are in the video, are Ernesto's work.

[WHYx3 @WHY_WHY_WHYx3]

Ernesto's work remains largely unknown due to the many inaccuracies of outsourcing and early television credits. Despite his more than 20 year history at Hanna-Barbera, there is still a wealth of his scenes waiting to be discovered in the shows he helped create.
