Animation History: What is United Productions of America (UPA) Style?

"What is UPA Style?"

United Productions of America, better known as UPA, was an American animation studio active from the 1940s through the 1970s. UPA pioneered the technique of limited animation. Although this style of animation came to be widely used in the 1960s and 1970s as a cost-cutting measure, it was originally intended as a stylistic alternative to the growing trend (particularly at Disney) of recreating cinematic realism in animated films. The three films below by the Royal Ocean Film Society explores the world, the style, and rise and fall or UPA. Not to mention its lasting impact on animation and character design.

Animation / Design & Art: 'Art of Science' - Projection, Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light" 2016

'Art of Science' - Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light" 2016 "Projection shown on the façade of the Moscow State University was presented at the Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light". The history of the university, scientific discoveries and legends associated with the "world of science" — all these were shown to the audience on September 23, 24 and 25, 2016. The largest ever video projection was presented on the façade of a unique architectural landmark, the main tower of Moscow State University at the Vorobyovy Hills. The large-scale project gave us a unique experience: the projected area covered over 50 000 square meters and was over 0.5 km long, 212 projectors were used for the show. The dynamic 9-minute multimedia story is not only a fascinating piece about the Moscow State University's history, but an artwork representing contemporary styles of abstract graphics."
