Software Review: Toon Boom Harmony

Post Published August 29, 2018 by Dylan Gibson

What it is: Toon Boom Harmony is a popular animating software that many professional animators use in films and animated series. It is also a software that I use frequently. Pros: Toon Boom has a LOT of complicated, amazing features!! One example is a tool allowing you to be able to animate something across a screen without needing to animate the cycle over and over again.

The Mountains from the Stories

Post Published August 22, 2018 by Lukas Cooke

I stood on the trampoline, legs bouncing slightly as my sister Lena jumped about around me. Other children ran barefoot in the lush green grass, squealing and laughing happily.

I started to compose when I was about 9 years old and wrote about 5 pieces of music. Back then I had played the piano for about 5 years already. I started to play the oboe when I was about 12 years old and still play both instruments today. What inspired me to write this piece was another composition that had a rhythm as the bass and a violin that was playing out the melody much louder and un...

If I told you right now that this is a review of a documentary about the cats living in Istanbul, what would you do? Yawn? Walk away? Say that doesn’t sound very interesting? All of those reactions would be wrong! Granted, as a cat lover I may be a little biased, but Kedi, a Turkish film directed by Ceyda Torun, is quite possibly the best documentary ever.

Emirates even recommends the movie! The Breadwinner is a 2017 animated drama about a poor family under Taliban rule.
