This is not normally the realm of subject that I post about, but Drawn! led me to the blog of Oswald Iten this morning where I became engrossed for over an hour. Iten is going through the movie 101 Dalmatians (animated, not the live-action abomination) frame by frame and analyzing the use of color in the film. It’s a seriously in-depth look at color theory and composition in 101 Dalmatians, and boils down to lessons you might never have learned without shelling out some major dough. I’ve watched this film plenty of times in the past, and have noticed a small number of points that Iten talks about, but most of his discussion is miraculously eye-opening. I’m gonna have to drop Dalmatians in to my Netflix queue immediately, and then spend some quality time pouring through it. And another weekend is lost.
