Videos (online class questions)

Moves :
   
Bob Ross and His "Happy Trees"

  • Bob Ross as a cartoon animation.
  • Using contradicting personalities, but same appearance. 
    • They show the cartoon with the same hair and clothes as the original Bob Ross's video, but in the cartoon they make him a painter with a sudden temper to add comedy.
  • It has the same tone of voice. 
      • When Bob Ross teaches how to paint a tree he makes it sound and look very simple, even though it is not so.
  • Shows the well-done nature picture frame in the back. 

Bob Ross Clips
  • Display his canvass appropriately to the best angle of the camera. 
  • Make sure the paint palette is visible to the viewers 
  • Emphasizes the importance of using the right tools
    • When he is about to paint a tree he specifies which type of brush you have to use as well as the color of the paint.
  • Gives a very detailed description of how the paint brush should be stroked when attempting to draw the tree or mountain. 
4 Disney) Artist paint one tree 
  • The artist is not the one speaking through the process. 
    • instead the video has a narrator, maybe to stay true to the "Disney" vibe.
  • Each artist has a quick clip 
    • focuses more on the techniques of the artist rather than trying to show you how to draw a tree. 
  • Artist are drawing outside while looking at the object at hand. 

Artist Description

Bob Ross and His "Happy trees"

  • This animated cartoon the artist describes his actions in a very simple matter. Instead of going into detail the cartoon simply says we will put a bush here. It focuses on what the cartoon will be doing, rather than how they did it. This clips is style is mostly to entertain and for fun, 
Bob Ross Clips 

  • Bob Ross on the other hand, is very detailed with his descriptions. Although he makes the process look and sound very simplistic, he does not undermine the importance of specifics. In his clips he is always very calm, and makes sure to specify the tools he will use and specific hand motions to get the ideal tree. Bob Ross's style is very simple and calming. It makes me hopeful that if I attempted to draw a tree it would come out just like his did. 
4 (Disney) Artist Paint one tree 
  • These painters were very interesting to watch, but not as helpful. This clip has a narrator to describe the painters as if it was a Disney novel. In this clip the artist themselves don't speak they just draw. They take their canvass and painting tools outside for inspiration. This clip is mostly so that the viewer gets impressed by how well their artist can draw trees, since the artist were not really explaining their steps nor they techniques.

  1. Hey Susli. Great job on analyzing these videos. I liked how to analyzed each individual video instead of making it 1 or 2 paragraphs. One thing that really stood out was how you wrote about the angle the painting of Ross were place when compared to the position of the camera. Your inclusion of why the effects of some of the moves really helps the viewers to understand why they were done.

  2. I absolutely loved how you divided up this response, it made it very easy to read and honestly scanning through which ones of these I wouldn't mind reading your style was what drew me in! The similarities you found between the Bob Ross cartoon and the actual videos did not stand out to me, great eye! You inclusion of how the disney video was not helpful showed the different purposes of each of these videos very well, good job!
