Some of the moves present in the video are soft and technical speech. Both Bob Ross and Disney narrators explain their steps technically, stressing why they place a line in a certain area. The speech is always soft and steady, with no real change in tone through the entire video. This monotone speech is broken slightly by Bob Ross with him occasionally reaching a higher tone to stress a point, but still tends towards one tone.
The description of the art is where the painters are again similar. The Disney painter describe the concept of their painting, describing how the saw the tree and what they wished to capture. When they begin painting the tree, particular focus is given to the line work, with each painter referring to why they used lines in a certain way. The line work is also stressed by Bob Ross, who in his mountain video made particular note of how to create the hard shapes of the mountain. Both videos have a focus on the paint being used, with Bob Ross having a specific name for each shade of a color, and the Disney painters personal interview showcasing the different paints they chose to use.
I would characterize Bob Ross’ style as individualistic and the Disney painter’s as collectivist. Bob Ross is the only one painting whatever he wants, he does not refer to anyone for how he should draw a tree--he just does it. The Disney painters refer to one another for everything. A scene is not animated until it is clear that they are on the same page, with painters drawing outside of their own artistic style to reach the goal of consistency. Bob Ross’ individualistic style is good for his audience as they are educational videos that aim to teach the viewer, who is likely only painting on one canvas for themselves, how to paint. The Disney painters are collectivist because they paint to create a consistent animation meaning their own individual styles must be thrown to the wayside.
Hi Chadwick! I really liked how you described each of the painters moves. Maybe what I liked the most was how you divided the Disney painters and Bob into two groups - individualistic and collectivist. That was a smart move that allowed you to effectively organize your analysis. Maybe one things that you could add at the end is how each of the painters style affected you.

ReplyDeleteI like how you detailed the focus Bob Ross gives each movement because it reflects his core essence. It becomes clear that you found many similarities between Bob Ross’s and Disney narrators and you do a good job in describing that but less on their differences, examining how they differ can also make your analysis stronger. By doing this it would show the reader that you closely watched and noticed the finer details. Overall it does a great job especially when you noted who the audience was and what kind of reaction the video would create.
