It's not going to be good.\", but then you leave surprisingly impressed. That was <em>Walking With Dinosaur<\/em>s for me. At first glance, it seems like yet another dinosaur animated film, but upon viewing, it is so much more than that and deserves a chance.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster\" width=\"305\" height=\"453\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is BBC film based on a 1999 documentary miniseries of the same name. The difference is that this <em>Walking with Dinosaurs <\/em>iteration is that it not only\u00a0teaches us about dinosaurs, but it also does so by weaving it into an interesting narrative. The film features computer animated dinosaurs in live-action settings. And boy, is it pretty. The CGI characters perfectly blend into the backgrounds and never seem out of the place. For the most part, the dinosaurs are very lifelike and realistic: no goofy faces, cartoony reactions or moving mouths. Book ended by two modern-day scenes of a disinterested\u00a0teen who would rather chill on his cell phone than excavate some fossils with his sister and uncle in Alaska,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> tells the story of three\u00a0<i>Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, Scowler and Juniper. Patchi and Scowler are brothers, with Patchi being the runt and Scowler being the\u00a0<\/i>over sized<i>\u00a0bully. Juniper is\u00a0from a different herd, but very quickly catches the eye of the brothers. The story is narrated by a prehistoric bird, an Alexornis appropriately named Alex. The story follows the\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus as they grow up, migrate, and face the dangerous world of the Cretaceous period.<\/i> There are only four talking characters in the movie--Alex, Patchi, Scowler and Juniper--and I thought that was a smart choice. To keep the movie from becoming Talking with Dinosaurs, these four characters do not move their mouths and speak, but rather their thoughts are simply voiced over. Even when they are speaking, they don't have any human characteristics at all: no raised eyebrows, no smiles, nothing; they act and behave only as dinosaurs really would millions of years ago. All other characters make appropriate grunts and roars, but never speak with the main characters in any human way.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\" alt=\"alex-patchi-nest_medium\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nNow, let's be real here. The dialogue (and love plot) is rather simply and very cheesy at times.\u00a0I wonder why it was even needed at all. The story could have been presented with a narrator much like\u00a0<em>March of the Penguins<\/em> and it would have been equally as engaging and fun, even for younger audiences. I think this would have made the film appeal to a wider audience because the voice-over dialogue in the trailers seem to dumb it down, making people think it's a kid's movie. That being said, I found this movie incredibly interesting. It excellently strikes a balance between being both educational and entertaining. The educational elements are fun: whenever we are introduced to a new species of dinosaur, the action stops, the dinosaur is brought to the front on a black background and a voice tells us it's name and the name's meaning. Then we un-pause and the action starts again. While some would think that this would ruin the momentum, it did not. It was fun to learn the name, see how it was spelled and ultimately leave the theatre a little more educated. Now, these educational segments stopped roughly halfway into the movie, which was a shame. I would have liked to be introduced to even more dinosaurs, even if they were somewhat insignificant to the plot.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\" alt=\"gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational\" width=\"614\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nI praise the types of dinosaurs the filmmakers chose to highlight in this film because they were rather unconventional and lesser known species. You won't see any\u00a0Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus or Triceratops; instead you'll meet new species like\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus,\u00a0<i>Gorgosaurus,\u00a0<i>Edmontosaurus\u00a0and more. <\/i><\/i>If you have younger children, particularly boys, they will love this film. Both my nephews, ages 5 and 3, who I took with me said they liked it more than <em>Frozen<\/em> (and trust me, they\u00a0<em>love\u00a0<\/em><em>Frozen<\/em>). The animation, effects and characters were all computer animated and splendidly done. I was awe-struck at how well the characters blended into the live-action backgrounds. The backgrounds were shot in Alaska and New Zealand using the\u00a0cutting-edge 3D Fusion Camera System used by James Cameron in <em>Avatar<\/em>. The final result is dynamic, incredibly realistic and worth seeing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still\" width=\"606\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a> <em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is educational and surprisingly entertaining. The dialogue is a bit unneccesary, but at least it's scaled back to only a few characters. Overall, don't count\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>out. It's one final animation film of 2013 that's worth seeing.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Walking with Dinosaurs' Is Educational & Surprisingly Entertaining","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-walking-with-dinosaurs-is-educational-surprisingly-entertaining","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-15 10:33:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-15 17:33:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=11734","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11631,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-12-17 09:35:45","post_date_gmt":"2013-12-17 16:35:45","post_content":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo-1024x580.png\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo\" width=\"614\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nRejoice, <em>Swan Princess<\/em> fans. Last year we got\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/tag\/swan-princess-christmas\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Swan Princess Christmas<\/em><\/a> after the series' 12-year hiatus and this year we're getting a fifth installment in the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise:\u00a0<strong><em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale<\/em><\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThe trailer was released back in November, but we just caught wind of it recently. Check it out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dg24zxbn-iw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale <\/em>is a direct-to-video film that\u00a0shows Odette and Derek after their happily ever after as they adopt a new child named Elise. Elise is an older girl, around 6-9 years old, and the kingdom is head over heels in love with their new princess. But the new little family's happiness doesn't last for long when Elise is kidnapped by a troupe of squirrels who believe that Odette is the prophesied evil swan. Dun, dun, dun!\r\n\r\nIt's interesting to see the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise take on an adoption story line rather than go the Odette-is-pregnant route. I guess pregnancy complicates things and would force some parents to have \"the talk\" with their children. <em>The Rescuers<\/em> and to some extent\u00a0<em>Oliver & Company\u00a0<\/em>took on adoption themes, but I'll be honest, I never thought the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> would go this route.\r\n\r\nI'll just talk about the elephant in the room: the animation isn't stellar. As much as I want to like it, it looks like a cheap video game. Some of the scenes where the horses are running reminds of Epona's movements in\u00a0<em>Ocarina of Time<\/em>, which came out in 1998. I personally would rather have cheap-looking 2D animation than really bad CGI, but apparently that's not what the kids want these days.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Swan-Princess-Family-UltraViolet-Digital\/dp\/B00DJYJPOG?&linkCode=wey&tag=therotos-20\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover\" width=\"278\" height=\"368\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nThe Blu-ray cover doesn't show the CGI characters as they appear in the film--the designs are a weird mashup of CGI and 2D. Odette's face looks suspiciously like Barbie's from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=barbie&linkCode=ur2&tag=therotos-20&url=search-alias%3Dmovies-tv\">Barbie movie covers<\/a>. It seems like a bait-and-switch tactic, attempting to lure in unsuspecting buyers into thinking they're buying a new Barbie film.\r\n\r\nThe film is directed by the Richard Rich, who has directed all of the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> film to date. The series must be a cash cow for him and his studio Crest Animation Productions because they keep bringing us more <em>Swan Princess<\/em>! And as a business person, I can't blame him.\r\n\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale\u00a0<\/em>will be released February 25, 2014, just in time for the series' 20th anniversary.

For full step-by-step tutorial, keep reading!\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m4nVdL2xBN0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> \r\n<h3>Prep<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-side\" width=\"400\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a> This hair style can be done on both clean and \"dirty\" hair. (meaning hair that hasn't been washed that day). For best results, do this look on two- or three-day hair. Also, this hair style works best for people with long hair since Elsa has very long hair herself. You can still recreate the look with shorter hair, but may need more bobby pins to secure it in place and might not have enough hair to do the bun twist at the back.\r\n<h3>Step 1: Volumize<\/h3>\r\nElsa is a cartoon character, so no wonder her hair looks larger than life. The top part of Elsa's hair (the part not in the twist) is very rounded and almost poofy. We need to volumize and tease the hair so that it has that cartoon volume.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-back\" width=\"368\" height=\"259\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nElsa's twist also doesn't have a visible part. Her hair is completely swept over from one side to the other. So take your hair and position it so it falls over the top of your head and all lands on the other side. You might have to tilt you head to the side on which you want it to fall. Keep combing through your hair so that the hair gets used to laying this way.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1\" width=\"533\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tilt your head and sweep your hair to one side.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThen section off the furthest side (away from where all the hair is falling) making a part from the front of your head to the back. Take this section and start to tease it. Once that section is done, let it it fall and begin to tease another section of hair. Continue this until your entire head is teased.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11555 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2\" width=\"532\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tease, baby, tease![\/caption]\r\n\r\nAlso, the hair on the back of Elsa's hair lays almost horizontal (going from one ear to another). Section the back of your hair into vertical strips, then tease your hair in the back so that it lays this way as well.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11556 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3\" width=\"534\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Don't forget to tease and fold over the back![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOnce you're done with all that teasing, move the all the hair back to the one side. Then take the comb and comb out the top of the hair so that it's smooth and not ratty.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> After you've teased the front and back, smooth everything back out.[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 2: Twist<\/h3>\r\nIf you have bangs, likes Elsa, pull those out and pin them aside using a bobby pin. We don't want the bangs to get in the twist. The twist is actually a simple twist, but it does take a while to get right. Elsa's twist start near the top side of her head, but in real life, it works better if you start lower by your ears.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11560 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7\" width=\"532\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Start here.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake a small piece by your ear and start twisting. Make sure you are twisting the hair up and toward the back of your head. Twist this piece so the majority of it is twisted.\u00a0Also, make sure the piece is already facing the direction toward the top of your head. The hair will lay better if it's twisted as closely to where it is ultimately going to fall.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist up and back.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNext take the next section of hair (a bigger piece that you started). You are going to twist this piece and then twist it into the twist that you just started. Make sure that the two pieces don't look like two separate twisted sections. Elsa's twist looks almost like one fluid twist, so keep trying and twisting until the the original piece and this new added piece look flush. Also, make sure that the new pieces that some of them are coming from the side of your head (by the ear where you started). We want these pieces to be incorporated into the front parts of the twist. So for every new section you grab and add, make sure some of them are coming all the way from the side, so that way we achieve that smooth, poofy look.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11562 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> Add a new bigger piece and twist it in![\/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11\" width=\"533\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nKeep adding bigger and bigger sections of hair and twisted. If you mess up, just untwist a little bit and start over. This style is really forgiving, so you can keep twisting and untwisting until you get it right. Try to keep the twist as close to the front of your head as possible. (Below, I pulled it a little too far away from my ear).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11565 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12\" width=\"533\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Keep adding and twisting new sections![\/caption]\r\n\r\nKeep twisting and adding pieces until all hair is twisted and the twist ends at the nape of your neck. Remember, when twisting these last few sections, that you want to pull hair over all the way from the other side so that it curves around the back of your head and twists into the hairdo. (I didn't quite do it that well here because I didn't have a mirror to see the back of my head. Sorry!) Just remember, for the back pieces of hair, comb those over so they fall over to the other side of the head and try to make them stay as flat as possible.\r\n\r\nThen twist very tightly and secure the twist with a clear hair tie at the nape of the neck. You also should secure this twist in place so that it does move. Take a bobby pin and pin the twist in place near where the hair tie is.\r\n\r\nRemember, Elsa's hair and twist is thick. If you don't have thick hair, loosen the twist by letting go of the twist a little bit and pushing the twist back toward the ear where you started (see video for demonstration). Basically, just don't twist it super tight. Make it a bit looser.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11566 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist all the way to the nape of the neck.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNow we are onto our second twist. Continue to twist the hair in the same direction as before. Twist the entire section of hair, all the way down to the end. Take a hair tie and secure this second twist in place. Continue to hold the twist taut (it will come untwisted if you let go).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11567 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14\" width=\"530\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Oops, I left out a little piece of hair![\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3>Step 3: Twisted Bun<\/h3>\r\nNow we move onto the twisted bun. Take this second twisted section and spiral it up and around, forming a circle. Elsa's twisted bun has two spirals, but depending on the length of your hair, you might only be able to get one circle or two. Once you reach the middle of the spiral and the end of your hair, tuck the end underneath the big bun. Then secure this middle section in place using a bobby pin. After this, take a bobby pin to secure the top of the bun to your head so that it doesn't flop over and move around. Use as many bobby pins as needed, but for this step, I just needed two.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11568 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15\" width=\"532\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Spiral.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nElsa's bun sits a bit lower on her head than I did here. I don't have as much (or as thick of ) hair as she does, so I needed to set my bun a little higher.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11570 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17\" width=\"520\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a> Voila![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOptional: Elsa's bun has a little blue ribbon running through it. If you want to add this, before you twist the second section of hair, just add some blue ribbon into the hair tie. Then twist the second section of hair and proceed with the style as normal.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11581 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\" alt=\"elsa coronation hair updo tutorial back\" width=\"523\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a> See the little blue ribbon?[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 3: Crown (optional)<\/h3>\r\nNow a coronation wouldn't be complete without a crown! I bought an official Disney Frozen crown at the Disney Store. Technically, this is Anna's crown. Elsa's crown is silver, even though she clearly wears a gold one in the movie (explain that to me).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> You're not a queen without a crown, duh.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake the crown and put the front of it behind the top part of your twist. Make sure that the ends of the crown are neatly tucked behind your ears and behind the twist.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11572 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19\" width=\"530\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Let the coronation begin![\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe whole look should take less than 10 minutes depending on how fast you are. It's actually pretty easy and looks glamorous in person. I've worn this coronation updo a few times and every time, I get a lot of compliments on it with people saying how much they love how full it is. It also makes me feel a bit classier and more regal--especially when I wear it with the crown.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial\" width=\"461\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nHope you guys liked this tutorial!

14:16:53","post_date_gmt":"2014-01-01 21:16:53","post_content":"Disney recently released a lot of info about its upcoming 2014 film slate and with it, some news that its new Marvel animated film\u00a0<strong><em>Big Hero 6<\/em><\/strong> has added Chris Williams as a co-director. Also,\u00a0Roy Conli has replaced\u00a0Kristina Reed as the film's producer.\r\n\r\nHere is the official release, which came from Disney 2014 Preview Kit:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2014-01-01-at-1.59.05-PM.png\" alt=\"walt-disney-studios-big-hero-6-2014\" width=\"661\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\r\nChris Williams is a long-time Disney veteran, having both written and co-directed the 2008 film\u00a0<em>Bolt<\/em> for the studio. Before that, he worked as in the story department for\u00a0<em>Mulan, The\u00a0Emporer's New Groove<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Brother Bear. <\/em>After <em>Bolt<\/em>, he was slated to direct <em>King of the Elves<\/em>, but\u00a0that was cancelled and shelved a while ago. Recently, he did voice the trading post owner, Oaken, in\u00a0<em>Frozen.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nIt's good to see Williams finally attached to a project that we'll actually see in theatres. Obviously he's been involved in a lot of projects behind the scenes (he hasn't been sitting around twiddling his thumbs), but it's going to be great to see him in the director's chair again. However, whether Don Hall,\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>'s other co-director, is excited about this, who knows. We never really get the inside scoop about how the original director feels when suddenly it's decided the film needs a second one. Disney did this same thing recently with <em>Frozen<\/em>: Chris Buck was the solo director until it was decided about a year and half before\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s release to bring in the film's screenwriter, Jennifer Lee, as a second director.\r\n\r\nThe quiet swapping out of producers is another question mark in how\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em> is faring behind the scenes. It seems like an odd and drastic move to completely change producers this late in the game. Reed had been a production executive for a number of DreamWorks films in the mid 2000s and recently produced the 2012 short\u00a0<em>Paperman<\/em>. Moving to produce a feature seemed like a the next obvious step. However, it may have been just a bit too much to handle. Ronli has an excellent track record with Disney with producing <em>Tangled<\/em>, <em>Treasure Planet<\/em> and <em>The Hunchback of Notre Dame<\/em>, so\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0is still in good hands. (Not to mention John Lasseter is still overseeing the whole thing as executive producer.)<em>\r\n<\/em>\r\n\r\nWho knows when these two changes happened. They could have happened months ago, for all we know. Whatever the timeline, let's hope that this doesn't mean that\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>is facing production troubles. It's a film that many Disney and Marvel fans are anxiously waiting to see and it would be a shame if the film was pushed back. Most likely, these changes are for the better and will ultimately make the film even better for its November release date.\r\n\r\nHere's the footage of San Fransokyo, the fictional San Francisco-Toyko hybrid city, for\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6:<\/em>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GSV3laJplpU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><em>\r\nBig Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>opens November 7, 2014.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think of the new director and producer?

This past weekend,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>earned an estimated\u00a0$28.8 million, putting it at the number two spot behind\u00a0<em>The Hobbit<\/em>. This puts the film's domestic total at\u00a0$248.4 million, pacing it to beat out\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s domestic record of $311.5 million.\r\n\r\nIf you think these numbers are no big deal, let's put it in context. This is the film's 5th weekend out in theatres and <em>Frozen<\/em>\u00a0has to battle it out through two very competitive slots: Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has come out of both of those weekends \u00a0victorious, ranking in the top three each week. Also according to <a href=\"http:\/\/boxofficemojo.com\/news\/?id=3767&p=.htm\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u2019<\/em>s performance \u00a0this week was the third highest-earning 5th weekend of all time, behind only\u00a0<em>Avatar<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Titanic<\/em>,\u00a0($30M), which each earned $42.8 and 30 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nThis weekend's box office performance is a bump up from the third place finish <em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>had last weekend,\u00a0where it earned $19.8 million. That weekend allowed\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s domestic gross to move it ahead of both Wreck-It Ralph and Tangled, which each ultimately earned 191.6 and 200.8 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nLooks like Disney's marketing claims that this is the \"greatest Disney animated event\" since\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em> may not have been that far fetched. For decades,\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s records have been the mac daddy of Disney animation\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT.png\" alt=\"elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT\" width=\"684\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>now ranks 13th and 31st for highest-grossing animated films domestically and internationally, respectively. Frozen has earned $491.9 million internationally.\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em>, which was released this summer, currently holds the 5th place spot for both domestic and international grosses. It is likely that when Frozen finishes its theatrical run, that it will beat <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> and end up somewhere in the top 5 on both charts.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In other animation box office news,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>hasn't completely trailed away yet. The dinosaur CGI film fell to 12th place, earning $12.3 million. While its rank dropped from 8th place from its opening weekend, it's gross increased slightly from\u00a0$7.3 million. It's no doubt that these results are a disappointment for the studio, but releasing a film around Christmas is always ultra-competitive and risky business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Do you think 'Frozen'\u00a0will beat 'The Lion King''s record?

The difference is that this <em>Walking with Dinosaurs <\/em>iteration is that it not only\u00a0teaches us about dinosaurs, but it also does so by weaving it into an interesting narrative. The film features computer animated dinosaurs in live-action settings. And boy, is it pretty. The CGI characters perfectly blend into the backgrounds and never seem out of the place. For the most part, the dinosaurs are very lifelike and realistic: no goofy faces, cartoony reactions or moving mouths. Book ended by two modern-day scenes of a disinterested\u00a0teen who would rather chill on his cell phone than excavate some fossils with his sister and uncle in Alaska,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> tells the story of three\u00a0<i>Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, Scowler and Juniper. Patchi and Scowler are brothers, with Patchi being the runt and Scowler being the\u00a0<\/i>over sized<i>\u00a0bully. Juniper is\u00a0from a different herd, but very quickly catches the eye of the brothers. The story is narrated by a prehistoric bird, an Alexornis appropriately named Alex. The story follows the\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus as they grow up, migrate, and face the dangerous world of the Cretaceous period.<\/i> There are only four talking characters in the movie--Alex, Patchi, Scowler and Juniper--and I thought that was a smart choice. To keep the movie from becoming Talking with Dinosaurs, these four characters do not move their mouths and speak, but rather their thoughts are simply voiced over. Even when they are speaking, they don't have any human characteristics at all: no raised eyebrows, no smiles, nothing; they act and behave only as dinosaurs really would millions of years ago. All other characters make appropriate grunts and roars, but never speak with the main characters in any human way.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\" alt=\"alex-patchi-nest_medium\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nNow, let's be real here. The dialogue (and love plot) is rather simply and very cheesy at times.\u00a0I wonder why it was even needed at all. The story could have been presented with a narrator much like\u00a0<em>March of the Penguins<\/em> and it would have been equally as engaging and fun, even for younger audiences. I think this would have made the film appeal to a wider audience because the voice-over dialogue in the trailers seem to dumb it down, making people think it's a kid's movie. That being said, I found this movie incredibly interesting. It excellently strikes a balance between being both educational and entertaining. The educational elements are fun: whenever we are introduced to a new species of dinosaur, the action stops, the dinosaur is brought to the front on a black background and a voice tells us it's name and the name's meaning. Then we un-pause and the action starts again. While some would think that this would ruin the momentum, it did not. It was fun to learn the name, see how it was spelled and ultimately leave the theatre a little more educated. Now, these educational segments stopped roughly halfway into the movie, which was a shame. I would have liked to be introduced to even more dinosaurs, even if they were somewhat insignificant to the plot.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\" alt=\"gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational\" width=\"614\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nI praise the types of dinosaurs the filmmakers chose to highlight in this film because they were rather unconventional and lesser known species. You won't see any\u00a0Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus or Triceratops; instead you'll meet new species like\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus,\u00a0<i>Gorgosaurus,\u00a0<i>Edmontosaurus\u00a0and more. <\/i><\/i>If you have younger children, particularly boys, they will love this film. Both my nephews, ages 5 and 3, who I took with me said they liked it more than <em>Frozen<\/em> (and trust me, they\u00a0<em>love\u00a0<\/em><em>Frozen<\/em>). The animation, effects and characters were all computer animated and splendidly done. I was awe-struck at how well the characters blended into the live-action backgrounds. The backgrounds were shot in Alaska and New Zealand using the\u00a0cutting-edge 3D Fusion Camera System used by James Cameron in <em>Avatar<\/em>. The final result is dynamic, incredibly realistic and worth seeing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still\" width=\"606\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a> <em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is educational and surprisingly entertaining. The dialogue is a bit unneccesary, but at least it's scaled back to only a few characters. Overall, don't count\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>out. It's one final animation film of 2013 that's worth seeing.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Walking with Dinosaurs' Is Educational & Surprisingly Entertaining","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-walking-with-dinosaurs-is-educational-surprisingly-entertaining","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-15 10:33:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-15 17:33:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=11734","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11631,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-12-17 09:35:45","post_date_gmt":"2013-12-17 16:35:45","post_content":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo-1024x580.png\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo\" width=\"614\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nRejoice, <em>Swan Princess<\/em> fans. Last year we got\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/tag\/swan-princess-christmas\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Swan Princess Christmas<\/em><\/a> after the series' 12-year hiatus and this year we're getting a fifth installment in the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise:\u00a0<strong><em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale<\/em><\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThe trailer was released back in November, but we just caught wind of it recently. Check it out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dg24zxbn-iw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale <\/em>is a direct-to-video film that\u00a0shows Odette and Derek after their happily ever after as they adopt a new child named Elise. Elise is an older girl, around 6-9 years old, and the kingdom is head over heels in love with their new princess. But the new little family's happiness doesn't last for long when Elise is kidnapped by a troupe of squirrels who believe that Odette is the prophesied evil swan. Dun, dun, dun!\r\n\r\nIt's interesting to see the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise take on an adoption story line rather than go the Odette-is-pregnant route. I guess pregnancy complicates things and would force some parents to have \"the talk\" with their children. <em>The Rescuers<\/em> and to some extent\u00a0<em>Oliver & Company\u00a0<\/em>took on adoption themes, but I'll be honest, I never thought the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> would go this route.\r\n\r\nI'll just talk about the elephant in the room: the animation isn't stellar. As much as I want to like it, it looks like a cheap video game. Some of the scenes where the horses are running reminds of Epona's movements in\u00a0<em>Ocarina of Time<\/em>, which came out in 1998. I personally would rather have cheap-looking 2D animation than really bad CGI, but apparently that's not what the kids want these days.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Swan-Princess-Family-UltraViolet-Digital\/dp\/B00DJYJPOG?&linkCode=wey&tag=therotos-20\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover\" width=\"278\" height=\"368\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nThe Blu-ray cover doesn't show the CGI characters as they appear in the film--the designs are a weird mashup of CGI and 2D. Odette's face looks suspiciously like Barbie's from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=barbie&linkCode=ur2&tag=therotos-20&url=search-alias%3Dmovies-tv\">Barbie movie covers<\/a>. It seems like a bait-and-switch tactic, attempting to lure in unsuspecting buyers into thinking they're buying a new Barbie film.\r\n\r\nThe film is directed by the Richard Rich, who has directed all of the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> film to date. The series must be a cash cow for him and his studio Crest Animation Productions because they keep bringing us more <em>Swan Princess<\/em>! And as a business person, I can't blame him.\r\n\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale\u00a0<\/em>will be released February 25, 2014, just in time for the series' 20th anniversary.

For full step-by-step tutorial, keep reading!\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m4nVdL2xBN0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> \r\n<h3>Prep<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-side\" width=\"400\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a> This hair style can be done on both clean and \"dirty\" hair. (meaning hair that hasn't been washed that day). For best results, do this look on two- or three-day hair. Also, this hair style works best for people with long hair since Elsa has very long hair herself. You can still recreate the look with shorter hair, but may need more bobby pins to secure it in place and might not have enough hair to do the bun twist at the back.\r\n<h3>Step 1: Volumize<\/h3>\r\nElsa is a cartoon character, so no wonder her hair looks larger than life. The top part of Elsa's hair (the part not in the twist) is very rounded and almost poofy. We need to volumize and tease the hair so that it has that cartoon volume.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-back\" width=\"368\" height=\"259\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nElsa's twist also doesn't have a visible part. Her hair is completely swept over from one side to the other. So take your hair and position it so it falls over the top of your head and all lands on the other side. You might have to tilt you head to the side on which you want it to fall. Keep combing through your hair so that the hair gets used to laying this way.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1\" width=\"533\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tilt your head and sweep your hair to one side.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThen section off the furthest side (away from where all the hair is falling) making a part from the front of your head to the back. Take this section and start to tease it. Once that section is done, let it it fall and begin to tease another section of hair. Continue this until your entire head is teased.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11555 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2\" width=\"532\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tease, baby, tease![\/caption]\r\n\r\nAlso, the hair on the back of Elsa's hair lays almost horizontal (going from one ear to another). Section the back of your hair into vertical strips, then tease your hair in the back so that it lays this way as well.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11556 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3\" width=\"534\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Don't forget to tease and fold over the back![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOnce you're done with all that teasing, move the all the hair back to the one side. Then take the comb and comb out the top of the hair so that it's smooth and not ratty.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> After you've teased the front and back, smooth everything back out.[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 2: Twist<\/h3>\r\nIf you have bangs, likes Elsa, pull those out and pin them aside using a bobby pin. We don't want the bangs to get in the twist. The twist is actually a simple twist, but it does take a while to get right. Elsa's twist start near the top side of her head, but in real life, it works better if you start lower by your ears.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11560 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7\" width=\"532\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Start here.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake a small piece by your ear and start twisting. Make sure you are twisting the hair up and toward the back of your head. Twist this piece so the majority of it is twisted.\u00a0Also, make sure the piece is already facing the direction toward the top of your head. The hair will lay better if it's twisted as closely to where it is ultimately going to fall.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist up and back.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNext take the next section of hair (a bigger piece that you started). You are going to twist this piece and then twist it into the twist that you just started. Make sure that the two pieces don't look like two separate twisted sections. Elsa's twist looks almost like one fluid twist, so keep trying and twisting until the the original piece and this new added piece look flush. Also, make sure that the new pieces that some of them are coming from the side of your head (by the ear where you started). We want these pieces to be incorporated into the front parts of the twist. So for every new section you grab and add, make sure some of them are coming all the way from the side, so that way we achieve that smooth, poofy look.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11562 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> Add a new bigger piece and twist it in![\/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11\" width=\"533\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nKeep adding bigger and bigger sections of hair and twisted. If you mess up, just untwist a little bit and start over. This style is really forgiving, so you can keep twisting and untwisting until you get it right. Try to keep the twist as close to the front of your head as possible. (Below, I pulled it a little too far away from my ear).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11565 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12\" width=\"533\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Keep adding and twisting new sections![\/caption]\r\n\r\nKeep twisting and adding pieces until all hair is twisted and the twist ends at the nape of your neck. Remember, when twisting these last few sections, that you want to pull hair over all the way from the other side so that it curves around the back of your head and twists into the hairdo. (I didn't quite do it that well here because I didn't have a mirror to see the back of my head. Sorry!) Just remember, for the back pieces of hair, comb those over so they fall over to the other side of the head and try to make them stay as flat as possible.\r\n\r\nThen twist very tightly and secure the twist with a clear hair tie at the nape of the neck. You also should secure this twist in place so that it does move. Take a bobby pin and pin the twist in place near where the hair tie is.\r\n\r\nRemember, Elsa's hair and twist is thick. If you don't have thick hair, loosen the twist by letting go of the twist a little bit and pushing the twist back toward the ear where you started (see video for demonstration). Basically, just don't twist it super tight. Make it a bit looser.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11566 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist all the way to the nape of the neck.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNow we are onto our second twist. Continue to twist the hair in the same direction as before. Twist the entire section of hair, all the way down to the end. Take a hair tie and secure this second twist in place. Continue to hold the twist taut (it will come untwisted if you let go).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11567 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14\" width=\"530\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Oops, I left out a little piece of hair![\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3>Step 3: Twisted Bun<\/h3>\r\nNow we move onto the twisted bun. Take this second twisted section and spiral it up and around, forming a circle. Elsa's twisted bun has two spirals, but depending on the length of your hair, you might only be able to get one circle or two. Once you reach the middle of the spiral and the end of your hair, tuck the end underneath the big bun. Then secure this middle section in place using a bobby pin. After this, take a bobby pin to secure the top of the bun to your head so that it doesn't flop over and move around. Use as many bobby pins as needed, but for this step, I just needed two.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11568 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15\" width=\"532\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Spiral.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nElsa's bun sits a bit lower on her head than I did here. I don't have as much (or as thick of ) hair as she does, so I needed to set my bun a little higher.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11570 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17\" width=\"520\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a> Voila![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOptional: Elsa's bun has a little blue ribbon running through it. If you want to add this, before you twist the second section of hair, just add some blue ribbon into the hair tie. Then twist the second section of hair and proceed with the style as normal.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11581 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\" alt=\"elsa coronation hair updo tutorial back\" width=\"523\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a> See the little blue ribbon?[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 3: Crown (optional)<\/h3>\r\nNow a coronation wouldn't be complete without a crown! I bought an official Disney Frozen crown at the Disney Store. Technically, this is Anna's crown. Elsa's crown is silver, even though she clearly wears a gold one in the movie (explain that to me).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> You're not a queen without a crown, duh.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake the crown and put the front of it behind the top part of your twist. Make sure that the ends of the crown are neatly tucked behind your ears and behind the twist.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11572 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19\" width=\"530\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Let the coronation begin![\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe whole look should take less than 10 minutes depending on how fast you are. It's actually pretty easy and looks glamorous in person. I've worn this coronation updo a few times and every time, I get a lot of compliments on it with people saying how much they love how full it is. It also makes me feel a bit classier and more regal--especially when I wear it with the crown.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial\" width=\"461\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nHope you guys liked this tutorial!

Also,\u00a0Roy Conli has replaced\u00a0Kristina Reed as the film's producer.\r\n\r\nHere is the official release, which came from Disney 2014 Preview Kit:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2014-01-01-at-1.59.05-PM.png\" alt=\"walt-disney-studios-big-hero-6-2014\" width=\"661\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\r\nChris Williams is a long-time Disney veteran, having both written and co-directed the 2008 film\u00a0<em>Bolt<\/em> for the studio. Before that, he worked as in the story department for\u00a0<em>Mulan, The\u00a0Emporer's New Groove<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Brother Bear. <\/em>After <em>Bolt<\/em>, he was slated to direct <em>King of the Elves<\/em>, but\u00a0that was cancelled and shelved a while ago. Recently, he did voice the trading post owner, Oaken, in\u00a0<em>Frozen.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nIt's good to see Williams finally attached to a project that we'll actually see in theatres. Obviously he's been involved in a lot of projects behind the scenes (he hasn't been sitting around twiddling his thumbs), but it's going to be great to see him in the director's chair again. However, whether Don Hall,\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>'s other co-director, is excited about this, who knows. We never really get the inside scoop about how the original director feels when suddenly it's decided the film needs a second one. Disney did this same thing recently with <em>Frozen<\/em>: Chris Buck was the solo director until it was decided about a year and half before\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s release to bring in the film's screenwriter, Jennifer Lee, as a second director.\r\n\r\nThe quiet swapping out of producers is another question mark in how\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em> is faring behind the scenes. It seems like an odd and drastic move to completely change producers this late in the game. Reed had been a production executive for a number of DreamWorks films in the mid 2000s and recently produced the 2012 short\u00a0<em>Paperman<\/em>. Moving to produce a feature seemed like a the next obvious step. However, it may have been just a bit too much to handle. Ronli has an excellent track record with Disney with producing <em>Tangled<\/em>, <em>Treasure Planet<\/em> and <em>The Hunchback of Notre Dame<\/em>, so\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0is still in good hands. (Not to mention John Lasseter is still overseeing the whole thing as executive producer.)<em>\r\n<\/em>\r\n\r\nWho knows when these two changes happened. They could have happened months ago, for all we know. Whatever the timeline, let's hope that this doesn't mean that\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>is facing production troubles. It's a film that many Disney and Marvel fans are anxiously waiting to see and it would be a shame if the film was pushed back. Most likely, these changes are for the better and will ultimately make the film even better for its November release date.\r\n\r\nHere's the footage of San Fransokyo, the fictional San Francisco-Toyko hybrid city, for\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6:<\/em>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GSV3laJplpU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><em>\r\nBig Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>opens November 7, 2014.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think of the new director and producer?

This past weekend,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>earned an estimated\u00a0$28.8 million, putting it at the number two spot behind\u00a0<em>The Hobbit<\/em>. This puts the film's domestic total at\u00a0$248.4 million, pacing it to beat out\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s domestic record of $311.5 million.\r\n\r\nIf you think these numbers are no big deal, let's put it in context. This is the film's 5th weekend out in theatres and <em>Frozen<\/em>\u00a0has to battle it out through two very competitive slots: Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has come out of both of those weekends \u00a0victorious, ranking in the top three each week. Also according to <a href=\"http:\/\/boxofficemojo.com\/news\/?id=3767&p=.htm\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u2019<\/em>s performance \u00a0this week was the third highest-earning 5th weekend of all time, behind only\u00a0<em>Avatar<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Titanic<\/em>,\u00a0($30M), which each earned $42.8 and 30 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nThis weekend's box office performance is a bump up from the third place finish <em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>had last weekend,\u00a0where it earned $19.8 million. That weekend allowed\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s domestic gross to move it ahead of both Wreck-It Ralph and Tangled, which each ultimately earned 191.6 and 200.8 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nLooks like Disney's marketing claims that this is the \"greatest Disney animated event\" since\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em> may not have been that far fetched. For decades,\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s records have been the mac daddy of Disney animation\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT.png\" alt=\"elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT\" width=\"684\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>now ranks 13th and 31st for highest-grossing animated films domestically and internationally, respectively. Frozen has earned $491.9 million internationally.\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em>, which was released this summer, currently holds the 5th place spot for both domestic and international grosses. It is likely that when Frozen finishes its theatrical run, that it will beat <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> and end up somewhere in the top 5 on both charts.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In other animation box office news,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>hasn't completely trailed away yet. The dinosaur CGI film fell to 12th place, earning $12.3 million. While its rank dropped from 8th place from its opening weekend, it's gross increased slightly from\u00a0$7.3 million. It's no doubt that these results are a disappointment for the studio, but releasing a film around Christmas is always ultra-competitive and risky business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Do you think 'Frozen'\u00a0will beat 'The Lion King''s record?

It's not going to be good.\", but then you leave surprisingly impressed. That was <em>Walking With Dinosaur<\/em>s for me. At first glance, it seems like yet another dinosaur animated film, but upon viewing, it is so much more than that and deserves a chance.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster\" width=\"305\" height=\"453\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is BBC film based on a 1999 documentary miniseries of the same name. The difference is that this <em>Walking with Dinosaurs <\/em>iteration is that it not only\u00a0teaches us about dinosaurs, but it also does so by weaving it into an interesting narrative. The film features computer animated dinosaurs in live-action settings. And boy, is it pretty. The CGI characters perfectly blend into the backgrounds and never seem out of the place. For the most part, the dinosaurs are very lifelike and realistic: no goofy faces, cartoony reactions or moving mouths. Book ended by two modern-day scenes of a disinterested\u00a0teen who would rather chill on his cell phone than excavate some fossils with his sister and uncle in Alaska,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> tells the story of three\u00a0<i>Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, Scowler and Juniper. Patchi and Scowler are brothers, with Patchi being the runt and Scowler being the\u00a0<\/i>over sized<i>\u00a0bully. Juniper is\u00a0from a different herd, but very quickly catches the eye of the brothers. The story is narrated by a prehistoric bird, an Alexornis appropriately named Alex. The story follows the\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus as they grow up, migrate, and face the dangerous world of the Cretaceous period.<\/i> There are only four talking characters in the movie--Alex, Patchi, Scowler and Juniper--and I thought that was a smart choice. To keep the movie from becoming Talking with Dinosaurs, these four characters do not move their mouths and speak, but rather their thoughts are simply voiced over. Even when they are speaking, they don't have any human characteristics at all: no raised eyebrows, no smiles, nothing; they act and behave only as dinosaurs really would millions of years ago. All other characters make appropriate grunts and roars, but never speak with the main characters in any human way.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\" alt=\"alex-patchi-nest_medium\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nNow, let's be real here. The dialogue (and love plot) is rather simply and very cheesy at times.\u00a0I wonder why it was even needed at all. The story could have been presented with a narrator much like\u00a0<em>March of the Penguins<\/em> and it would have been equally as engaging and fun, even for younger audiences. I think this would have made the film appeal to a wider audience because the voice-over dialogue in the trailers seem to dumb it down, making people think it's a kid's movie. That being said, I found this movie incredibly interesting. It excellently strikes a balance between being both educational and entertaining. The educational elements are fun: whenever we are introduced to a new species of dinosaur, the action stops, the dinosaur is brought to the front on a black background and a voice tells us it's name and the name's meaning. Then we un-pause and the action starts again. While some would think that this would ruin the momentum, it did not. It was fun to learn the name, see how it was spelled and ultimately leave the theatre a little more educated. Now, these educational segments stopped roughly halfway into the movie, which was a shame. I would have liked to be introduced to even more dinosaurs, even if they were somewhat insignificant to the plot.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\" alt=\"gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational\" width=\"614\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nI praise the types of dinosaurs the filmmakers chose to highlight in this film because they were rather unconventional and lesser known species. You won't see any\u00a0Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus or Triceratops; instead you'll meet new species like\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus,\u00a0<i>Gorgosaurus,\u00a0<i>Edmontosaurus\u00a0and more. <\/i><\/i>If you have younger children, particularly boys, they will love this film. Both my nephews, ages 5 and 3, who I took with me said they liked it more than <em>Frozen<\/em> (and trust me, they\u00a0<em>love\u00a0<\/em><em>Frozen<\/em>). The animation, effects and characters were all computer animated and splendidly done. I was awe-struck at how well the characters blended into the live-action backgrounds. The backgrounds were shot in Alaska and New Zealand using the\u00a0cutting-edge 3D Fusion Camera System used by James Cameron in <em>Avatar<\/em>. The final result is dynamic, incredibly realistic and worth seeing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still\" width=\"606\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a> <em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is educational and surprisingly entertaining. The dialogue is a bit unneccesary, but at least it's scaled back to only a few characters. Overall, don't count\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>out. It's one final animation film of 2013 that's worth seeing.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Walking with Dinosaurs' Is Educational & Surprisingly Entertaining","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-walking-with-dinosaurs-is-educational-surprisingly-entertaining","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-15 10:33:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-15 17:33:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=11734","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11631,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-12-17 09:35:45","post_date_gmt":"2013-12-17 16:35:45","post_content":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo-1024x580.png\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo\" width=\"614\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nRejoice, <em>Swan Princess<\/em> fans.

Check it out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dg24zxbn-iw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale <\/em>is a direct-to-video film that\u00a0shows Odette and Derek after their happily ever after as they adopt a new child named Elise. Elise is an older girl, around 6-9 years old, and the kingdom is head over heels in love with their new princess. But the new little family's happiness doesn't last for long when Elise is kidnapped by a troupe of squirrels who believe that Odette is the prophesied evil swan. Dun, dun, dun!\r\n\r\nIt's interesting to see the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise take on an adoption story line rather than go the Odette-is-pregnant route. I guess pregnancy complicates things and would force some parents to have \"the talk\" with their children. <em>The Rescuers<\/em> and to some extent\u00a0<em>Oliver & Company\u00a0<\/em>took on adoption themes, but I'll be honest, I never thought the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> would go this route.\r\n\r\nI'll just talk about the elephant in the room: the animation isn't stellar. As much as I want to like it, it looks like a cheap video game. Some of the scenes where the horses are running reminds of Epona's movements in\u00a0<em>Ocarina of Time<\/em>, which came out in 1998. I personally would rather have cheap-looking 2D animation than really bad CGI, but apparently that's not what the kids want these days.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Swan-Princess-Family-UltraViolet-Digital\/dp\/B00DJYJPOG?&linkCode=wey&tag=therotos-20\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover\" width=\"278\" height=\"368\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nThe Blu-ray cover doesn't show the CGI characters as they appear in the film--the designs are a weird mashup of CGI and 2D.

For full step-by-step tutorial, keep reading!\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m4nVdL2xBN0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> \r\n<h3>Prep<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-side\" width=\"400\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a> This hair style can be done on both clean and \"dirty\" hair. (meaning hair that hasn't been washed that day). For best results, do this look on two- or three-day hair. Also, this hair style works best for people with long hair since Elsa has very long hair herself. You can still recreate the look with shorter hair, but may need more bobby pins to secure it in place and might not have enough hair to do the bun twist at the back.\r\n<h3>Step 1: Volumize<\/h3>\r\nElsa is a cartoon character, so no wonder her hair looks larger than life. The top part of Elsa's hair (the part not in the twist) is very rounded and almost poofy. We need to volumize and tease the hair so that it has that cartoon volume.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-back\" width=\"368\" height=\"259\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nElsa's twist also doesn't have a visible part. Her hair is completely swept over from one side to the other. So take your hair and position it so it falls over the top of your head and all lands on the other side. You might have to tilt you head to the side on which you want it to fall. Keep combing through your hair so that the hair gets used to laying this way.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1\" width=\"533\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tilt your head and sweep your hair to one side.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThen section off the furthest side (away from where all the hair is falling) making a part from the front of your head to the back. Take this section and start to tease it. Once that section is done, let it it fall and begin to tease another section of hair. Continue this until your entire head is teased.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11555 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2\" width=\"532\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tease, baby, tease![\/caption]\r\n\r\nAlso, the hair on the back of Elsa's hair lays almost horizontal (going from one ear to another). Section the back of your hair into vertical strips, then tease your hair in the back so that it lays this way as well.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11556 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3\" width=\"534\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Don't forget to tease and fold over the back![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOnce you're done with all that teasing, move the all the hair back to the one side. Then take the comb and comb out the top of the hair so that it's smooth and not ratty.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> After you've teased the front and back, smooth everything back out.[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 2: Twist<\/h3>\r\nIf you have bangs, likes Elsa, pull those out and pin them aside using a bobby pin. We don't want the bangs to get in the twist. The twist is actually a simple twist, but it does take a while to get right. Elsa's twist start near the top side of her head, but in real life, it works better if you start lower by your ears.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11560 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7\" width=\"532\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Start here.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake a small piece by your ear and start twisting. Make sure you are twisting the hair up and toward the back of your head. Twist this piece so the majority of it is twisted.\u00a0Also, make sure the piece is already facing the direction toward the top of your head. The hair will lay better if it's twisted as closely to where it is ultimately going to fall.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist up and back.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNext take the next section of hair (a bigger piece that you started). You are going to twist this piece and then twist it into the twist that you just started. Make sure that the two pieces don't look like two separate twisted sections. Elsa's twist looks almost like one fluid twist, so keep trying and twisting until the the original piece and this new added piece look flush. Also, make sure that the new pieces that some of them are coming from the side of your head (by the ear where you started). We want these pieces to be incorporated into the front parts of the twist. So for every new section you grab and add, make sure some of them are coming all the way from the side, so that way we achieve that smooth, poofy look.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11562 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> Add a new bigger piece and twist it in![\/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11\" width=\"533\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nKeep adding bigger and bigger sections of hair and twisted. If you mess up, just untwist a little bit and start over. This style is really forgiving, so you can keep twisting and untwisting until you get it right. Try to keep the twist as close to the front of your head as possible. (Below, I pulled it a little too far away from my ear).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11565 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12\" width=\"533\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Keep adding and twisting new sections![\/caption]\r\n\r\nKeep twisting and adding pieces until all hair is twisted and the twist ends at the nape of your neck. Remember, when twisting these last few sections, that you want to pull hair over all the way from the other side so that it curves around the back of your head and twists into the hairdo. (I didn't quite do it that well here because I didn't have a mirror to see the back of my head. Sorry!) Just remember, for the back pieces of hair, comb those over so they fall over to the other side of the head and try to make them stay as flat as possible.\r\n\r\nThen twist very tightly and secure the twist with a clear hair tie at the nape of the neck. You also should secure this twist in place so that it does move. Take a bobby pin and pin the twist in place near where the hair tie is.\r\n\r\nRemember, Elsa's hair and twist is thick. If you don't have thick hair, loosen the twist by letting go of the twist a little bit and pushing the twist back toward the ear where you started (see video for demonstration). Basically, just don't twist it super tight. Make it a bit looser.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11566 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist all the way to the nape of the neck.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNow we are onto our second twist. Continue to twist the hair in the same direction as before. Twist the entire section of hair, all the way down to the end. Take a hair tie and secure this second twist in place. Continue to hold the twist taut (it will come untwisted if you let go).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11567 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14\" width=\"530\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Oops, I left out a little piece of hair![\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3>Step 3: Twisted Bun<\/h3>\r\nNow we move onto the twisted bun. Take this second twisted section and spiral it up and around, forming a circle. Elsa's twisted bun has two spirals, but depending on the length of your hair, you might only be able to get one circle or two. Once you reach the middle of the spiral and the end of your hair, tuck the end underneath the big bun. Then secure this middle section in place using a bobby pin. After this, take a bobby pin to secure the top of the bun to your head so that it doesn't flop over and move around. Use as many bobby pins as needed, but for this step, I just needed two.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11568 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15\" width=\"532\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Spiral.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nElsa's bun sits a bit lower on her head than I did here. I don't have as much (or as thick of ) hair as she does, so I needed to set my bun a little higher.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11570 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17\" width=\"520\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a> Voila![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOptional: Elsa's bun has a little blue ribbon running through it. If you want to add this, before you twist the second section of hair, just add some blue ribbon into the hair tie. Then twist the second section of hair and proceed with the style as normal.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11581 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\" alt=\"elsa coronation hair updo tutorial back\" width=\"523\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a> See the little blue ribbon?[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 3: Crown (optional)<\/h3>\r\nNow a coronation wouldn't be complete without a crown! I bought an official Disney Frozen crown at the Disney Store. Technically, this is Anna's crown. Elsa's crown is silver, even though she clearly wears a gold one in the movie (explain that to me).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> You're not a queen without a crown, duh.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake the crown and put the front of it behind the top part of your twist. Make sure that the ends of the crown are neatly tucked behind your ears and behind the twist.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11572 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19\" width=\"530\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Let the coronation begin![\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe whole look should take less than 10 minutes depending on how fast you are. It's actually pretty easy and looks glamorous in person. I've worn this coronation updo a few times and every time, I get a lot of compliments on it with people saying how much they love how full it is.

I haven't designed for an animated character before, and I'm excited to take my skills into\u00a0Zarina's world. She's a unique and new character and I wanted to help make her memorable and iconic.\u00a0Disney\u00a0characters are everlasting and I'm so happy as a young designer to help create a bit of\u00a0Disney\u00a0history.<\/i><i>\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/blockquote>\r\nSiriano is known for his over-the-top, couture designs that have a \"wow\" factor. He's one of the most successful designers to come off of <em>Project Runway<\/em>, recently designing a shoe line for Payless.\u00a0Take a look at some of Siriano's design sketches below, including his sketch of Zarina's final costume that we see in the film.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano.jpg\"><img class=\" wp-image-12044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano-835x1024.jpg\" alt=\"the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano\" width=\"501\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a> Zarina costume design sketches by Christian Siriano[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano-final-design.jpg\"><img class=\" wp-image-12046\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano-final-design-794x1024.jpg\" alt=\"the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano-final-design\" width=\"476\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a> Zarina's (almost) final design sketch by Christian Siriano[\/caption]\r\n\r\nMore than anything it seems more like a gimmick to bring Siriano on board. Then again, it is becoming the norm to bring in the industry's best fashion and hair designers when designing animated characters. Recently for Disney's<em> Frozen<\/em>, a famous hair designer to help create Elsa's iconic hairdo. Nonetheless, Zarina's costume design is gorgeous, current and on-trend. I'd love to see this outfit hit store shelves for Halloween or cosplay.\r\n\r\n<i>In this fifth installment in the Tinker Bell franchise, we meet Zarina: a dust-keeper fairy who has gone rogue and joined a band of pirates.

14:16:53","post_date_gmt":"2014-01-01 21:16:53","post_content":"Disney recently released a lot of info about its upcoming 2014 film slate and with it, some news that its new Marvel animated film\u00a0<strong><em>Big Hero 6<\/em><\/strong> has added Chris Williams as a co-director. Also,\u00a0Roy Conli has replaced\u00a0Kristina Reed as the film's producer.\r\n\r\nHere is the official release, which came from Disney 2014 Preview Kit:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2014-01-01-at-1.59.05-PM.png\" alt=\"walt-disney-studios-big-hero-6-2014\" width=\"661\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\r\nChris Williams is a long-time Disney veteran, having both written and co-directed the 2008 film\u00a0<em>Bolt<\/em> for the studio. Before that, he worked as in the story department for\u00a0<em>Mulan, The\u00a0Emporer's New Groove<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Brother Bear. <\/em>After <em>Bolt<\/em>, he was slated to direct <em>King of the Elves<\/em>, but\u00a0that was cancelled and shelved a while ago. Recently, he did voice the trading post owner, Oaken, in\u00a0<em>Frozen.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nIt's good to see Williams finally attached to a project that we'll actually see in theatres. Obviously he's been involved in a lot of projects behind the scenes (he hasn't been sitting around twiddling his thumbs), but it's going to be great to see him in the director's chair again. However, whether Don Hall,\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>'s other co-director, is excited about this, who knows. We never really get the inside scoop about how the original director feels when suddenly it's decided the film needs a second one. Disney did this same thing recently with <em>Frozen<\/em>: Chris Buck was the solo director until it was decided about a year and half before\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s release to bring in the film's screenwriter, Jennifer Lee, as a second director.\r\n\r\nThe quiet swapping out of producers is another question mark in how\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em> is faring behind the scenes. It seems like an odd and drastic move to completely change producers this late in the game. Reed had been a production executive for a number of DreamWorks films in the mid 2000s and recently produced the 2012 short\u00a0<em>Paperman<\/em>. Moving to produce a feature seemed like a the next obvious step. However, it may have been just a bit too much to handle. Ronli has an excellent track record with Disney with producing <em>Tangled<\/em>, <em>Treasure Planet<\/em> and <em>The Hunchback of Notre Dame<\/em>, so\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0is still in good hands. (Not to mention John Lasseter is still overseeing the whole thing as executive producer.)<em>\r\n<\/em>\r\n\r\nWho knows when these two changes happened. They could have happened months ago, for all we know. Whatever the timeline, let's hope that this doesn't mean that\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>is facing production troubles. It's a film that many Disney and Marvel fans are anxiously waiting to see and it would be a shame if the film was pushed back. Most likely, these changes are for the better and will ultimately make the film even better for its November release date.\r\n\r\nHere's the footage of San Fransokyo, the fictional San Francisco-Toyko hybrid city, for\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6:<\/em>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GSV3laJplpU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><em>\r\nBig Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>opens November 7, 2014.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think of the new director and producer?

This past weekend,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>earned an estimated\u00a0$28.8 million, putting it at the number two spot behind\u00a0<em>The Hobbit<\/em>. This puts the film's domestic total at\u00a0$248.4 million, pacing it to beat out\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s domestic record of $311.5 million.\r\n\r\nIf you think these numbers are no big deal, let's put it in context. This is the film's 5th weekend out in theatres and <em>Frozen<\/em>\u00a0has to battle it out through two very competitive slots: Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has come out of both of those weekends \u00a0victorious, ranking in the top three each week. Also according to <a href=\"http:\/\/boxofficemojo.com\/news\/?id=3767&p=.htm\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u2019<\/em>s performance \u00a0this week was the third highest-earning 5th weekend of all time, behind only\u00a0<em>Avatar<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Titanic<\/em>,\u00a0($30M), which each earned $42.8 and 30 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nThis weekend's box office performance is a bump up from the third place finish <em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>had last weekend,\u00a0where it earned $19.8 million. That weekend allowed\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s domestic gross to move it ahead of both Wreck-It Ralph and Tangled, which each ultimately earned 191.6 and 200.8 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nLooks like Disney's marketing claims that this is the \"greatest Disney animated event\" since\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em> may not have been that far fetched. For decades,\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s records have been the mac daddy of Disney animation\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT.png\" alt=\"elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT\" width=\"684\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>now ranks 13th and 31st for highest-grossing animated films domestically and internationally, respectively. Frozen has earned $491.9 million internationally.\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em>, which was released this summer, currently holds the 5th place spot for both domestic and international grosses. It is likely that when Frozen finishes its theatrical run, that it will beat <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> and end up somewhere in the top 5 on both charts.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In other animation box office news,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>hasn't completely trailed away yet. The dinosaur CGI film fell to 12th place, earning $12.3 million. While its rank dropped from 8th place from its opening weekend, it's gross increased slightly from\u00a0$7.3 million. It's no doubt that these results are a disappointment for the studio, but releasing a film around Christmas is always ultra-competitive and risky business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Do you think 'Frozen'\u00a0will beat 'The Lion King''s record?

It's not going to be good.\", but then you leave surprisingly impressed. That was <em>Walking With Dinosaur<\/em>s for me. At first glance, it seems like yet another dinosaur animated film, but upon viewing, it is so much more than that and deserves a chance.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster\" width=\"305\" height=\"453\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is BBC film based on a 1999 documentary miniseries of the same name. The difference is that this <em>Walking with Dinosaurs <\/em>iteration is that it not only\u00a0teaches us about dinosaurs, but it also does so by weaving it into an interesting narrative. The film features computer animated dinosaurs in live-action settings. And boy, is it pretty. The CGI characters perfectly blend into the backgrounds and never seem out of the place. For the most part, the dinosaurs are very lifelike and realistic: no goofy faces, cartoony reactions or moving mouths. Book ended by two modern-day scenes of a disinterested\u00a0teen who would rather chill on his cell phone than excavate some fossils with his sister and uncle in Alaska,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> tells the story of three\u00a0<i>Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, Scowler and Juniper. Patchi and Scowler are brothers, with Patchi being the runt and Scowler being the\u00a0<\/i>over sized<i>\u00a0bully. Juniper is\u00a0from a different herd, but very quickly catches the eye of the brothers. The story is narrated by a prehistoric bird, an Alexornis appropriately named Alex. The story follows the\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus as they grow up, migrate, and face the dangerous world of the Cretaceous period.<\/i> There are only four talking characters in the movie--Alex, Patchi, Scowler and Juniper--and I thought that was a smart choice. To keep the movie from becoming Talking with Dinosaurs, these four characters do not move their mouths and speak, but rather their thoughts are simply voiced over. Even when they are speaking, they don't have any human characteristics at all: no raised eyebrows, no smiles, nothing; they act and behave only as dinosaurs really would millions of years ago. All other characters make appropriate grunts and roars, but never speak with the main characters in any human way.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\" alt=\"alex-patchi-nest_medium\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nNow, let's be real here. The dialogue (and love plot) is rather simply and very cheesy at times.\u00a0I wonder why it was even needed at all. The story could have been presented with a narrator much like\u00a0<em>March of the Penguins<\/em> and it would have been equally as engaging and fun, even for younger audiences. I think this would have made the film appeal to a wider audience because the voice-over dialogue in the trailers seem to dumb it down, making people think it's a kid's movie. That being said, I found this movie incredibly interesting. It excellently strikes a balance between being both educational and entertaining. The educational elements are fun: whenever we are introduced to a new species of dinosaur, the action stops, the dinosaur is brought to the front on a black background and a voice tells us it's name and the name's meaning. Then we un-pause and the action starts again. While some would think that this would ruin the momentum, it did not. It was fun to learn the name, see how it was spelled and ultimately leave the theatre a little more educated. Now, these educational segments stopped roughly halfway into the movie, which was a shame. I would have liked to be introduced to even more dinosaurs, even if they were somewhat insignificant to the plot.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\" alt=\"gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational\" width=\"614\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nI praise the types of dinosaurs the filmmakers chose to highlight in this film because they were rather unconventional and lesser known species. You won't see any\u00a0Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus or Triceratops; instead you'll meet new species like\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus,\u00a0<i>Gorgosaurus,\u00a0<i>Edmontosaurus\u00a0and more. <\/i><\/i>If you have younger children, particularly boys, they will love this film. Both my nephews, ages 5 and 3, who I took with me said they liked it more than <em>Frozen<\/em> (and trust me, they\u00a0<em>love\u00a0<\/em><em>Frozen<\/em>). The animation, effects and characters were all computer animated and splendidly done. I was awe-struck at how well the characters blended into the live-action backgrounds. The backgrounds were shot in Alaska and New Zealand using the\u00a0cutting-edge 3D Fusion Camera System used by James Cameron in <em>Avatar<\/em>. The final result is dynamic, incredibly realistic and worth seeing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still\" width=\"606\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a> <em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is educational and surprisingly entertaining. The dialogue is a bit unneccesary, but at least it's scaled back to only a few characters. Overall, don't count\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>out. It's one final animation film of 2013 that's worth seeing.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Walking with Dinosaurs' Is Educational & Surprisingly Entertaining","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-walking-with-dinosaurs-is-educational-surprisingly-entertaining","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-15 10:33:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-15 17:33:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=11734","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11631,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-12-17 09:35:45","post_date_gmt":"2013-12-17 16:35:45","post_content":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo-1024x580.png\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo\" width=\"614\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nRejoice, <em>Swan Princess<\/em> fans. Last year we got\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/tag\/swan-princess-christmas\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Swan Princess Christmas<\/em><\/a> after the series' 12-year hiatus and this year we're getting a fifth installment in the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise:\u00a0<strong><em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale<\/em><\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThe trailer was released back in November, but we just caught wind of it recently. Check it out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dg24zxbn-iw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale <\/em>is a direct-to-video film that\u00a0shows Odette and Derek after their happily ever after as they adopt a new child named Elise. Elise is an older girl, around 6-9 years old, and the kingdom is head over heels in love with their new princess. But the new little family's happiness doesn't last for long when Elise is kidnapped by a troupe of squirrels who believe that Odette is the prophesied evil swan. Dun, dun, dun!\r\n\r\nIt's interesting to see the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise take on an adoption story line rather than go the Odette-is-pregnant route. I guess pregnancy complicates things and would force some parents to have \"the talk\" with their children. <em>The Rescuers<\/em> and to some extent\u00a0<em>Oliver & Company\u00a0<\/em>took on adoption themes, but I'll be honest, I never thought the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> would go this route.\r\n\r\nI'll just talk about the elephant in the room: the animation isn't stellar. As much as I want to like it, it looks like a cheap video game. Some of the scenes where the horses are running reminds of Epona's movements in\u00a0<em>Ocarina of Time<\/em>, which came out in 1998. I personally would rather have cheap-looking 2D animation than really bad CGI, but apparently that's not what the kids want these days.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Swan-Princess-Family-UltraViolet-Digital\/dp\/B00DJYJPOG?&linkCode=wey&tag=therotos-20\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover\" width=\"278\" height=\"368\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nThe Blu-ray cover doesn't show the CGI characters as they appear in the film--the designs are a weird mashup of CGI and 2D. Odette's face looks suspiciously like Barbie's from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=barbie&linkCode=ur2&tag=therotos-20&url=search-alias%3Dmovies-tv\">Barbie movie covers<\/a>. It seems like a bait-and-switch tactic, attempting to lure in unsuspecting buyers into thinking they're buying a new Barbie film.\r\n\r\nThe film is directed by the Richard Rich, who has directed all of the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> film to date. The series must be a cash cow for him and his studio Crest Animation Productions because they keep bringing us more <em>Swan Princess<\/em>! And as a business person, I can't blame him.\r\n\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale\u00a0<\/em>will be released February 25, 2014, just in time for the series' 20th anniversary.

(meaning hair that hasn't been washed that day). For best results, do this look on two- or three-day hair. Also, this hair style works best for people with long hair since Elsa has very long hair herself. You can still recreate the look with shorter hair, but may need more bobby pins to secure it in place and might not have enough hair to do the bun twist at the back.\r\n<h3>Step 1: Volumize<\/h3>\r\nElsa is a cartoon character, so no wonder her hair looks larger than life. The top part of Elsa's hair (the part not in the twist) is very rounded and almost poofy. We need to volumize and tease the hair so that it has that cartoon volume.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-back\" width=\"368\" height=\"259\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nElsa's twist also doesn't have a visible part. Her hair is completely swept over from one side to the other. So take your hair and position it so it falls over the top of your head and all lands on the other side. You might have to tilt you head to the side on which you want it to fall. Keep combing through your hair so that the hair gets used to laying this way.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1\" width=\"533\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tilt your head and sweep your hair to one side.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThen section off the furthest side (away from where all the hair is falling) making a part from the front of your head to the back. Take this section and start to tease it. Once that section is done, let it it fall and begin to tease another section of hair. Continue this until your entire head is teased.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11555 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2\" width=\"532\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tease, baby, tease![\/caption]\r\n\r\nAlso, the hair on the back of Elsa's hair lays almost horizontal (going from one ear to another). Section the back of your hair into vertical strips, then tease your hair in the back so that it lays this way as well.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11556 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3\" width=\"534\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Don't forget to tease and fold over the back![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOnce you're done with all that teasing, move the all the hair back to the one side. Then take the comb and comb out the top of the hair so that it's smooth and not ratty.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> After you've teased the front and back, smooth everything back out.[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 2: Twist<\/h3>\r\nIf you have bangs, likes Elsa, pull those out and pin them aside using a bobby pin. We don't want the bangs to get in the twist. The twist is actually a simple twist, but it does take a while to get right. Elsa's twist start near the top side of her head, but in real life, it works better if you start lower by your ears.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11560 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7\" width=\"532\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Start here.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake a small piece by your ear and start twisting. Make sure you are twisting the hair up and toward the back of your head. Twist this piece so the majority of it is twisted.\u00a0Also, make sure the piece is already facing the direction toward the top of your head. The hair will lay better if it's twisted as closely to where it is ultimately going to fall.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist up and back.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNext take the next section of hair (a bigger piece that you started). You are going to twist this piece and then twist it into the twist that you just started. Make sure that the two pieces don't look like two separate twisted sections. Elsa's twist looks almost like one fluid twist, so keep trying and twisting until the the original piece and this new added piece look flush. Also, make sure that the new pieces that some of them are coming from the side of your head (by the ear where you started). We want these pieces to be incorporated into the front parts of the twist. So for every new section you grab and add, make sure some of them are coming all the way from the side, so that way we achieve that smooth, poofy look.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11562 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> Add a new bigger piece and twist it in![\/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11\" width=\"533\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nKeep adding bigger and bigger sections of hair and twisted. If you mess up, just untwist a little bit and start over. This style is really forgiving, so you can keep twisting and untwisting until you get it right. Try to keep the twist as close to the front of your head as possible. (Below, I pulled it a little too far away from my ear).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11565 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12\" width=\"533\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Keep adding and twisting new sections![\/caption]\r\n\r\nKeep twisting and adding pieces until all hair is twisted and the twist ends at the nape of your neck. Remember, when twisting these last few sections, that you want to pull hair over all the way from the other side so that it curves around the back of your head and twists into the hairdo. (I didn't quite do it that well here because I didn't have a mirror to see the back of my head. Sorry!) Just remember, for the back pieces of hair, comb those over so they fall over to the other side of the head and try to make them stay as flat as possible.\r\n\r\nThen twist very tightly and secure the twist with a clear hair tie at the nape of the neck. You also should secure this twist in place so that it does move. Take a bobby pin and pin the twist in place near where the hair tie is.\r\n\r\nRemember, Elsa's hair and twist is thick. If you don't have thick hair, loosen the twist by letting go of the twist a little bit and pushing the twist back toward the ear where you started (see video for demonstration). Basically, just don't twist it super tight. Make it a bit looser.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11566 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist all the way to the nape of the neck.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNow we are onto our second twist. Continue to twist the hair in the same direction as before. Twist the entire section of hair, all the way down to the end. Take a hair tie and secure this second twist in place. Continue to hold the twist taut (it will come untwisted if you let go).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11567 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14\" width=\"530\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Oops, I left out a little piece of hair![\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3>Step 3: Twisted Bun<\/h3>\r\nNow we move onto the twisted bun. Take this second twisted section and spiral it up and around, forming a circle. Elsa's twisted bun has two spirals, but depending on the length of your hair, you might only be able to get one circle or two. Once you reach the middle of the spiral and the end of your hair, tuck the end underneath the big bun. Then secure this middle section in place using a bobby pin. After this, take a bobby pin to secure the top of the bun to your head so that it doesn't flop over and move around. Use as many bobby pins as needed, but for this step, I just needed two.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11568 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15\" width=\"532\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Spiral.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nElsa's bun sits a bit lower on her head than I did here. I don't have as much (or as thick of ) hair as she does, so I needed to set my bun a little higher.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11570 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17\" width=\"520\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a> Voila![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOptional: Elsa's bun has a little blue ribbon running through it. If you want to add this, before you twist the second section of hair, just add some blue ribbon into the hair tie. Then twist the second section of hair and proceed with the style as normal.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11581 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\" alt=\"elsa coronation hair updo tutorial back\" width=\"523\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a> See the little blue ribbon?[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 3: Crown (optional)<\/h3>\r\nNow a coronation wouldn't be complete without a crown! I bought an official Disney Frozen crown at the Disney Store. Technically, this is Anna's crown. Elsa's crown is silver, even though she clearly wears a gold one in the movie (explain that to me).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> You're not a queen without a crown, duh.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake the crown and put the front of it behind the top part of your twist. Make sure that the ends of the crown are neatly tucked behind your ears and behind the twist.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11572 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19\" width=\"530\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Let the coronation begin![\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe whole look should take less than 10 minutes depending on how fast you are. It's actually pretty easy and looks glamorous in person. I've worn this coronation updo a few times and every time, I get a lot of compliments on it with people saying how much they love how full it is. It also makes me feel a bit classier and more regal--especially when I wear it with the crown.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial\" width=\"461\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nHope you guys liked this tutorial!

It's not going to be good.\", but then you leave surprisingly impressed. That was <em>Walking With Dinosaur<\/em>s for me. At first glance, it seems like yet another dinosaur animated film, but upon viewing, it is so much more than that and deserves a chance.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster\" width=\"305\" height=\"453\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is BBC film based on a 1999 documentary miniseries of the same name. The difference is that this <em>Walking with Dinosaurs <\/em>iteration is that it not only\u00a0teaches us about dinosaurs, but it also does so by weaving it into an interesting narrative. The film features computer animated dinosaurs in live-action settings. And boy, is it pretty. The CGI characters perfectly blend into the backgrounds and never seem out of the place. For the most part, the dinosaurs are very lifelike and realistic: no goofy faces, cartoony reactions or moving mouths. Book ended by two modern-day scenes of a disinterested\u00a0teen who would rather chill on his cell phone than excavate some fossils with his sister and uncle in Alaska,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> tells the story of three\u00a0<i>Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, Scowler and Juniper. Patchi and Scowler are brothers, with Patchi being the runt and Scowler being the\u00a0<\/i>over sized<i>\u00a0bully. Juniper is\u00a0from a different herd, but very quickly catches the eye of the brothers. The story is narrated by a prehistoric bird, an Alexornis appropriately named Alex. The story follows the\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus as they grow up, migrate, and face the dangerous world of the Cretaceous period.<\/i> There are only four talking characters in the movie--Alex, Patchi, Scowler and Juniper--and I thought that was a smart choice. To keep the movie from becoming Talking with Dinosaurs, these four characters do not move their mouths and speak, but rather their thoughts are simply voiced over. Even when they are speaking, they don't have any human characteristics at all: no raised eyebrows, no smiles, nothing; they act and behave only as dinosaurs really would millions of years ago. All other characters make appropriate grunts and roars, but never speak with the main characters in any human way.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\" alt=\"alex-patchi-nest_medium\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nNow, let's be real here. The dialogue (and love plot) is rather simply and very cheesy at times.\u00a0I wonder why it was even needed at all. The story could have been presented with a narrator much like\u00a0<em>March of the Penguins<\/em> and it would have been equally as engaging and fun, even for younger audiences. I think this would have made the film appeal to a wider audience because the voice-over dialogue in the trailers seem to dumb it down, making people think it's a kid's movie. That being said, I found this movie incredibly interesting. It excellently strikes a balance between being both educational and entertaining. The educational elements are fun: whenever we are introduced to a new species of dinosaur, the action stops, the dinosaur is brought to the front on a black background and a voice tells us it's name and the name's meaning. Then we un-pause and the action starts again. While some would think that this would ruin the momentum, it did not. It was fun to learn the name, see how it was spelled and ultimately leave the theatre a little more educated. Now, these educational segments stopped roughly halfway into the movie, which was a shame. I would have liked to be introduced to even more dinosaurs, even if they were somewhat insignificant to the plot.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\" alt=\"gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational\" width=\"614\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nI praise the types of dinosaurs the filmmakers chose to highlight in this film because they were rather unconventional and lesser known species. You won't see any\u00a0Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus or Triceratops; instead you'll meet new species like\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus,\u00a0<i>Gorgosaurus,\u00a0<i>Edmontosaurus\u00a0and more. <\/i><\/i>If you have younger children, particularly boys, they will love this film. Both my nephews, ages 5 and 3, who I took with me said they liked it more than <em>Frozen<\/em> (and trust me, they\u00a0<em>love\u00a0<\/em><em>Frozen<\/em>). The animation, effects and characters were all computer animated and splendidly done. I was awe-struck at how well the characters blended into the live-action backgrounds. The backgrounds were shot in Alaska and New Zealand using the\u00a0cutting-edge 3D Fusion Camera System used by James Cameron in <em>Avatar<\/em>. The final result is dynamic, incredibly realistic and worth seeing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still\" width=\"606\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a> <em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is educational and surprisingly entertaining. The dialogue is a bit unneccesary, but at least it's scaled back to only a few characters. Overall, don't count\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>out. It's one final animation film of 2013 that's worth seeing.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Walking with Dinosaurs' Is Educational & Surprisingly Entertaining","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-walking-with-dinosaurs-is-educational-surprisingly-entertaining","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-15 10:33:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-15 17:33:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=11734","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11631,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-12-17 09:35:45","post_date_gmt":"2013-12-17 16:35:45","post_content":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo-1024x580.png\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo\" width=\"614\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nRejoice, <em>Swan Princess<\/em> fans. Last year we got\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/tag\/swan-princess-christmas\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Swan Princess Christmas<\/em><\/a> after the series' 12-year hiatus and this year we're getting a fifth installment in the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise:\u00a0<strong><em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale<\/em><\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThe trailer was released back in November, but we just caught wind of it recently. Check it out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dg24zxbn-iw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale <\/em>is a direct-to-video film that\u00a0shows Odette and Derek after their happily ever after as they adopt a new child named Elise. Elise is an older girl, around 6-9 years old, and the kingdom is head over heels in love with their new princess. But the new little family's happiness doesn't last for long when Elise is kidnapped by a troupe of squirrels who believe that Odette is the prophesied evil swan. Dun, dun, dun!\r\n\r\nIt's interesting to see the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise take on an adoption story line rather than go the Odette-is-pregnant route. I guess pregnancy complicates things and would force some parents to have \"the talk\" with their children. <em>The Rescuers<\/em> and to some extent\u00a0<em>Oliver & Company\u00a0<\/em>took on adoption themes, but I'll be honest, I never thought the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> would go this route.\r\n\r\nI'll just talk about the elephant in the room: the animation isn't stellar. As much as I want to like it, it looks like a cheap video game. Some of the scenes where the horses are running reminds of Epona's movements in\u00a0<em>Ocarina of Time<\/em>, which came out in 1998. I personally would rather have cheap-looking 2D animation than really bad CGI, but apparently that's not what the kids want these days.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Swan-Princess-Family-UltraViolet-Digital\/dp\/B00DJYJPOG?&linkCode=wey&tag=therotos-20\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover\" width=\"278\" height=\"368\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nThe Blu-ray cover doesn't show the CGI characters as they appear in the film--the designs are a weird mashup of CGI and 2D. Odette's face looks suspiciously like Barbie's from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=barbie&linkCode=ur2&tag=therotos-20&url=search-alias%3Dmovies-tv\">Barbie movie covers<\/a>. It seems like a bait-and-switch tactic, attempting to lure in unsuspecting buyers into thinking they're buying a new Barbie film.\r\n\r\nThe film is directed by the Richard Rich, who has directed all of the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> film to date. The series must be a cash cow for him and his studio Crest Animation Productions because they keep bringing us more <em>Swan Princess<\/em>! And as a business person, I can't blame him.\r\n\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale\u00a0<\/em>will be released February 25, 2014, just in time for the series' 20th anniversary.

For full step-by-step tutorial, keep reading!\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m4nVdL2xBN0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> \r\n<h3>Prep<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-side\" width=\"400\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a> This hair style can be done on both clean and \"dirty\" hair. (meaning hair that hasn't been washed that day). For best results, do this look on two- or three-day hair. Also, this hair style works best for people with long hair since Elsa has very long hair herself. You can still recreate the look with shorter hair, but may need more bobby pins to secure it in place and might not have enough hair to do the bun twist at the back.\r\n<h3>Step 1: Volumize<\/h3>\r\nElsa is a cartoon character, so no wonder her hair looks larger than life. The top part of Elsa's hair (the part not in the twist) is very rounded and almost poofy. We need to volumize and tease the hair so that it has that cartoon volume.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-back\" width=\"368\" height=\"259\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nElsa's twist also doesn't have a visible part. Her hair is completely swept over from one side to the other. So take your hair and position it so it falls over the top of your head and all lands on the other side. You might have to tilt you head to the side on which you want it to fall. Keep combing through your hair so that the hair gets used to laying this way.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1\" width=\"533\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tilt your head and sweep your hair to one side.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThen section off the furthest side (away from where all the hair is falling) making a part from the front of your head to the back. Take this section and start to tease it. Once that section is done, let it it fall and begin to tease another section of hair. Continue this until your entire head is teased.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11555 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2\" width=\"532\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tease, baby, tease![\/caption]\r\n\r\nAlso, the hair on the back of Elsa's hair lays almost horizontal (going from one ear to another). Section the back of your hair into vertical strips, then tease your hair in the back so that it lays this way as well.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11556 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3\" width=\"534\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Don't forget to tease and fold over the back![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOnce you're done with all that teasing, move the all the hair back to the one side. Then take the comb and comb out the top of the hair so that it's smooth and not ratty.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> After you've teased the front and back, smooth everything back out.[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 2: Twist<\/h3>\r\nIf you have bangs, likes Elsa, pull those out and pin them aside using a bobby pin. We don't want the bangs to get in the twist. The twist is actually a simple twist, but it does take a while to get right. Elsa's twist start near the top side of her head, but in real life, it works better if you start lower by your ears.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11560 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7\" width=\"532\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Start here.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake a small piece by your ear and start twisting. Make sure you are twisting the hair up and toward the back of your head. Twist this piece so the majority of it is twisted.\u00a0Also, make sure the piece is already facing the direction toward the top of your head. The hair will lay better if it's twisted as closely to where it is ultimately going to fall.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist up and back.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNext take the next section of hair (a bigger piece that you started). You are going to twist this piece and then twist it into the twist that you just started. Make sure that the two pieces don't look like two separate twisted sections. Elsa's twist looks almost like one fluid twist, so keep trying and twisting until the the original piece and this new added piece look flush. Also, make sure that the new pieces that some of them are coming from the side of your head (by the ear where you started). We want these pieces to be incorporated into the front parts of the twist. So for every new section you grab and add, make sure some of them are coming all the way from the side, so that way we achieve that smooth, poofy look.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11562 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> Add a new bigger piece and twist it in![\/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11\" width=\"533\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nKeep adding bigger and bigger sections of hair and twisted. If you mess up, just untwist a little bit and start over. This style is really forgiving, so you can keep twisting and untwisting until you get it right. Try to keep the twist as close to the front of your head as possible. (Below, I pulled it a little too far away from my ear).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11565 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12\" width=\"533\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Keep adding and twisting new sections![\/caption]\r\n\r\nKeep twisting and adding pieces until all hair is twisted and the twist ends at the nape of your neck. Remember, when twisting these last few sections, that you want to pull hair over all the way from the other side so that it curves around the back of your head and twists into the hairdo. (I didn't quite do it that well here because I didn't have a mirror to see the back of my head. Sorry!) Just remember, for the back pieces of hair, comb those over so they fall over to the other side of the head and try to make them stay as flat as possible.\r\n\r\nThen twist very tightly and secure the twist with a clear hair tie at the nape of the neck. You also should secure this twist in place so that it does move. Take a bobby pin and pin the twist in place near where the hair tie is.\r\n\r\nRemember, Elsa's hair and twist is thick. If you don't have thick hair, loosen the twist by letting go of the twist a little bit and pushing the twist back toward the ear where you started (see video for demonstration). Basically, just don't twist it super tight. Make it a bit looser.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11566 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist all the way to the nape of the neck.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNow we are onto our second twist. Continue to twist the hair in the same direction as before. Twist the entire section of hair, all the way down to the end. Take a hair tie and secure this second twist in place. Continue to hold the twist taut (it will come untwisted if you let go).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11567 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14\" width=\"530\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Oops, I left out a little piece of hair![\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3>Step 3: Twisted Bun<\/h3>\r\nNow we move onto the twisted bun. Take this second twisted section and spiral it up and around, forming a circle. Elsa's twisted bun has two spirals, but depending on the length of your hair, you might only be able to get one circle or two. Once you reach the middle of the spiral and the end of your hair, tuck the end underneath the big bun. Then secure this middle section in place using a bobby pin. After this, take a bobby pin to secure the top of the bun to your head so that it doesn't flop over and move around. Use as many bobby pins as needed, but for this step, I just needed two.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11568 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15\" width=\"532\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Spiral.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nElsa's bun sits a bit lower on her head than I did here. I don't have as much (or as thick of ) hair as she does, so I needed to set my bun a little higher.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11570 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17\" width=\"520\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a> Voila![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOptional: Elsa's bun has a little blue ribbon running through it. If you want to add this, before you twist the second section of hair, just add some blue ribbon into the hair tie. Then twist the second section of hair and proceed with the style as normal.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11581 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\" alt=\"elsa coronation hair updo tutorial back\" width=\"523\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a> See the little blue ribbon?[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 3: Crown (optional)<\/h3>\r\nNow a coronation wouldn't be complete without a crown! I bought an official Disney Frozen crown at the Disney Store. Technically, this is Anna's crown. Elsa's crown is silver, even though she clearly wears a gold one in the movie (explain that to me).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> You're not a queen without a crown, duh.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake the crown and put the front of it behind the top part of your twist. Make sure that the ends of the crown are neatly tucked behind your ears and behind the twist.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11572 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19\" width=\"530\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Let the coronation begin![\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe whole look should take less than 10 minutes depending on how fast you are. It's actually pretty easy and looks glamorous in person. I've worn this coronation updo a few times and every time, I get a lot of compliments on it with people saying how much they love how full it is. It also makes me feel a bit classier and more regal--especially when I wear it with the crown.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial\" width=\"461\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nHope you guys liked this tutorial!

14:16:53","post_date_gmt":"2014-01-01 21:16:53","post_content":"Disney recently released a lot of info about its upcoming 2014 film slate and with it, some news that its new Marvel animated film\u00a0<strong><em>Big Hero 6<\/em><\/strong> has added Chris Williams as a co-director. Also,\u00a0Roy Conli has replaced\u00a0Kristina Reed as the film's producer.\r\n\r\nHere is the official release, which came from Disney 2014 Preview Kit:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2014-01-01-at-1.59.05-PM.png\" alt=\"walt-disney-studios-big-hero-6-2014\" width=\"661\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\r\nChris Williams is a long-time Disney veteran, having both written and co-directed the 2008 film\u00a0<em>Bolt<\/em> for the studio. Before that, he worked as in the story department for\u00a0<em>Mulan, The\u00a0Emporer's New Groove<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Brother Bear. <\/em>After <em>Bolt<\/em>, he was slated to direct <em>King of the Elves<\/em>, but\u00a0that was cancelled and shelved a while ago. Recently, he did voice the trading post owner, Oaken, in\u00a0<em>Frozen.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nIt's good to see Williams finally attached to a project that we'll actually see in theatres. Obviously he's been involved in a lot of projects behind the scenes (he hasn't been sitting around twiddling his thumbs), but it's going to be great to see him in the director's chair again. However, whether Don Hall,\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>'s other co-director, is excited about this, who knows. We never really get the inside scoop about how the original director feels when suddenly it's decided the film needs a second one. Disney did this same thing recently with <em>Frozen<\/em>: Chris Buck was the solo director until it was decided about a year and half before\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s release to bring in the film's screenwriter, Jennifer Lee, as a second director.\r\n\r\nThe quiet swapping out of producers is another question mark in how\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em> is faring behind the scenes. It seems like an odd and drastic move to completely change producers this late in the game. Reed had been a production executive for a number of DreamWorks films in the mid 2000s and recently produced the 2012 short\u00a0<em>Paperman<\/em>. Moving to produce a feature seemed like a the next obvious step. However, it may have been just a bit too much to handle. Ronli has an excellent track record with Disney with producing <em>Tangled<\/em>, <em>Treasure Planet<\/em> and <em>The Hunchback of Notre Dame<\/em>, so\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0is still in good hands. (Not to mention John Lasseter is still overseeing the whole thing as executive producer.)<em>\r\n<\/em>\r\n\r\nWho knows when these two changes happened. They could have happened months ago, for all we know. Whatever the timeline, let's hope that this doesn't mean that\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>is facing production troubles. It's a film that many Disney and Marvel fans are anxiously waiting to see and it would be a shame if the film was pushed back. Most likely, these changes are for the better and will ultimately make the film even better for its November release date.\r\n\r\nHere's the footage of San Fransokyo, the fictional San Francisco-Toyko hybrid city, for\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6:<\/em>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GSV3laJplpU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><em>\r\nBig Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>opens November 7, 2014.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think of the new director and producer?

This past weekend,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>earned an estimated\u00a0$28.8 million, putting it at the number two spot behind\u00a0<em>The Hobbit<\/em>. This puts the film's domestic total at\u00a0$248.4 million, pacing it to beat out\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s domestic record of $311.5 million.\r\n\r\nIf you think these numbers are no big deal, let's put it in context. This is the film's 5th weekend out in theatres and <em>Frozen<\/em>\u00a0has to battle it out through two very competitive slots: Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has come out of both of those weekends \u00a0victorious, ranking in the top three each week. Also according to <a href=\"http:\/\/boxofficemojo.com\/news\/?id=3767&p=.htm\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u2019<\/em>s performance \u00a0this week was the third highest-earning 5th weekend of all time, behind only\u00a0<em>Avatar<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Titanic<\/em>,\u00a0($30M), which each earned $42.8 and 30 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nThis weekend's box office performance is a bump up from the third place finish <em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>had last weekend,\u00a0where it earned $19.8 million. That weekend allowed\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s domestic gross to move it ahead of both Wreck-It Ralph and Tangled, which each ultimately earned 191.6 and 200.8 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nLooks like Disney's marketing claims that this is the \"greatest Disney animated event\" since\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em> may not have been that far fetched. For decades,\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s records have been the mac daddy of Disney animation\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT.png\" alt=\"elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT\" width=\"684\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>now ranks 13th and 31st for highest-grossing animated films domestically and internationally, respectively. Frozen has earned $491.9 million internationally.\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em>, which was released this summer, currently holds the 5th place spot for both domestic and international grosses. It is likely that when Frozen finishes its theatrical run, that it will beat <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> and end up somewhere in the top 5 on both charts.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In other animation box office news,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>hasn't completely trailed away yet. The dinosaur CGI film fell to 12th place, earning $12.3 million. While its rank dropped from 8th place from its opening weekend, it's gross increased slightly from\u00a0$7.3 million. It's no doubt that these results are a disappointment for the studio, but releasing a film around Christmas is always ultra-competitive and risky business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Do you think 'Frozen'\u00a0will beat 'The Lion King''s record?

The film features computer animated dinosaurs in live-action settings. And boy, is it pretty. The CGI characters perfectly blend into the backgrounds and never seem out of the place. For the most part, the dinosaurs are very lifelike and realistic: no goofy faces, cartoony reactions or moving mouths. Book ended by two modern-day scenes of a disinterested\u00a0teen who would rather chill on his cell phone than excavate some fossils with his sister and uncle in Alaska,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> tells the story of three\u00a0<i>Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, Scowler and Juniper.

Juniper is\u00a0from a different herd, but very quickly catches the eye of the brothers. The story is narrated by a prehistoric bird, an Alexornis appropriately named Alex. The story follows the\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus as they grow up, migrate, and face the dangerous world of the Cretaceous period.<\/i> There are only four talking characters in the movie--Alex, Patchi, Scowler and Juniper--and I thought that was a smart choice. To keep the movie from becoming Talking with Dinosaurs, these four characters do not move their mouths and speak, but rather their thoughts are simply voiced over. Even when they are speaking, they don't have any human characteristics at all: no raised eyebrows, no smiles, nothing; they act and behave only as dinosaurs really would millions of years ago. All other characters make appropriate grunts and roars, but never speak with the main characters in any human way.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\" alt=\"alex-patchi-nest_medium\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nNow, let's be real here. The dialogue (and love plot) is rather simply and very cheesy at times.\u00a0I wonder why it was even needed at all. The story could have been presented with a narrator much like\u00a0<em>March of the Penguins<\/em> and it would have been equally as engaging and fun, even for younger audiences. I think this would have made the film appeal to a wider audience because the voice-over dialogue in the trailers seem to dumb it down, making people think it's a kid's movie. That being said, I found this movie incredibly interesting. It excellently strikes a balance between being both educational and entertaining. The educational elements are fun: whenever we are introduced to a new species of dinosaur, the action stops, the dinosaur is brought to the front on a black background and a voice tells us it's name and the name's meaning. Then we un-pause and the action starts again. While some would think that this would ruin the momentum, it did not. It was fun to learn the name, see how it was spelled and ultimately leave the theatre a little more educated. Now, these educational segments stopped roughly halfway into the movie, which was a shame. I would have liked to be introduced to even more dinosaurs, even if they were somewhat insignificant to the plot.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\" alt=\"gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational\" width=\"614\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nI praise the types of dinosaurs the filmmakers chose to highlight in this film because they were rather unconventional and lesser known species. You won't see any\u00a0Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus or Triceratops; instead you'll meet new species like\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus,\u00a0<i>Gorgosaurus,\u00a0<i>Edmontosaurus\u00a0and more. <\/i><\/i>If you have younger children, particularly boys, they will love this film. Both my nephews, ages 5 and 3, who I took with me said they liked it more than <em>Frozen<\/em> (and trust me, they\u00a0<em>love\u00a0<\/em><em>Frozen<\/em>). The animation, effects and characters were all computer animated and splendidly done. I was awe-struck at how well the characters blended into the live-action backgrounds. The backgrounds were shot in Alaska and New Zealand using the\u00a0cutting-edge 3D Fusion Camera System used by James Cameron in <em>Avatar<\/em>. The final result is dynamic, incredibly realistic and worth seeing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still\" width=\"606\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a> <em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is educational and surprisingly entertaining. The dialogue is a bit unneccesary, but at least it's scaled back to only a few characters. Overall, don't count\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>out. It's one final animation film of 2013 that's worth seeing.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Walking with Dinosaurs' Is Educational & Surprisingly Entertaining","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-walking-with-dinosaurs-is-educational-surprisingly-entertaining","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-15 10:33:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-15 17:33:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=11734","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11631,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-12-17 09:35:45","post_date_gmt":"2013-12-17 16:35:45","post_content":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo-1024x580.png\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo\" width=\"614\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nRejoice, <em>Swan Princess<\/em> fans. Last year we got\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/tag\/swan-princess-christmas\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Swan Princess Christmas<\/em><\/a> after the series' 12-year hiatus and this year we're getting a fifth installment in the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise:\u00a0<strong><em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale<\/em><\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThe trailer was released back in November, but we just caught wind of it recently. Check it out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dg24zxbn-iw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale <\/em>is a direct-to-video film that\u00a0shows Odette and Derek after their happily ever after as they adopt a new child named Elise. Elise is an older girl, around 6-9 years old, and the kingdom is head over heels in love with their new princess. But the new little family's happiness doesn't last for long when Elise is kidnapped by a troupe of squirrels who believe that Odette is the prophesied evil swan. Dun, dun, dun!\r\n\r\nIt's interesting to see the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise take on an adoption story line rather than go the Odette-is-pregnant route. I guess pregnancy complicates things and would force some parents to have \"the talk\" with their children. <em>The Rescuers<\/em> and to some extent\u00a0<em>Oliver & Company\u00a0<\/em>took on adoption themes, but I'll be honest, I never thought the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> would go this route.\r\n\r\nI'll just talk about the elephant in the room: the animation isn't stellar. As much as I want to like it, it looks like a cheap video game. Some of the scenes where the horses are running reminds of Epona's movements in\u00a0<em>Ocarina of Time<\/em>, which came out in 1998. I personally would rather have cheap-looking 2D animation than really bad CGI, but apparently that's not what the kids want these days.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Swan-Princess-Family-UltraViolet-Digital\/dp\/B00DJYJPOG?&linkCode=wey&tag=therotos-20\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover\" width=\"278\" height=\"368\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nThe Blu-ray cover doesn't show the CGI characters as they appear in the film--the designs are a weird mashup of CGI and 2D. Odette's face looks suspiciously like Barbie's from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=barbie&linkCode=ur2&tag=therotos-20&url=search-alias%3Dmovies-tv\">Barbie movie covers<\/a>. It seems like a bait-and-switch tactic, attempting to lure in unsuspecting buyers into thinking they're buying a new Barbie film.\r\n\r\nThe film is directed by the Richard Rich, who has directed all of the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> film to date. The series must be a cash cow for him and his studio Crest Animation Productions because they keep bringing us more <em>Swan Princess<\/em>! And as a business person, I can't blame him.\r\n\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale\u00a0<\/em>will be released February 25, 2014, just in time for the series' 20th anniversary. The film will not be available on Blu-ray.

For full step-by-step tutorial, keep reading!\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m4nVdL2xBN0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> \r\n<h3>Prep<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-side\" width=\"400\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a> This hair style can be done on both clean and \"dirty\" hair. (meaning hair that hasn't been washed that day). For best results, do this look on two- or three-day hair. Also, this hair style works best for people with long hair since Elsa has very long hair herself. You can still recreate the look with shorter hair, but may need more bobby pins to secure it in place and might not have enough hair to do the bun twist at the back.\r\n<h3>Step 1: Volumize<\/h3>\r\nElsa is a cartoon character, so no wonder her hair looks larger than life. The top part of Elsa's hair (the part not in the twist) is very rounded and almost poofy. We need to volumize and tease the hair so that it has that cartoon volume.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-back\" width=\"368\" height=\"259\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nElsa's twist also doesn't have a visible part. Her hair is completely swept over from one side to the other. So take your hair and position it so it falls over the top of your head and all lands on the other side. You might have to tilt you head to the side on which you want it to fall. Keep combing through your hair so that the hair gets used to laying this way.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1\" width=\"533\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tilt your head and sweep your hair to one side.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThen section off the furthest side (away from where all the hair is falling) making a part from the front of your head to the back. Take this section and start to tease it. Once that section is done, let it it fall and begin to tease another section of hair. Continue this until your entire head is teased.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11555 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2\" width=\"532\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tease, baby, tease![\/caption]\r\n\r\nAlso, the hair on the back of Elsa's hair lays almost horizontal (going from one ear to another). Section the back of your hair into vertical strips, then tease your hair in the back so that it lays this way as well.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11556 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3\" width=\"534\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Don't forget to tease and fold over the back![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOnce you're done with all that teasing, move the all the hair back to the one side. Then take the comb and comb out the top of the hair so that it's smooth and not ratty.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> After you've teased the front and back, smooth everything back out.[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 2: Twist<\/h3>\r\nIf you have bangs, likes Elsa, pull those out and pin them aside using a bobby pin. We don't want the bangs to get in the twist. The twist is actually a simple twist, but it does take a while to get right. Elsa's twist start near the top side of her head, but in real life, it works better if you start lower by your ears.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11560 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7\" width=\"532\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Start here.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake a small piece by your ear and start twisting. Make sure you are twisting the hair up and toward the back of your head. Twist this piece so the majority of it is twisted.\u00a0Also, make sure the piece is already facing the direction toward the top of your head. The hair will lay better if it's twisted as closely to where it is ultimately going to fall.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist up and back.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNext take the next section of hair (a bigger piece that you started). You are going to twist this piece and then twist it into the twist that you just started. Make sure that the two pieces don't look like two separate twisted sections. Elsa's twist looks almost like one fluid twist, so keep trying and twisting until the the original piece and this new added piece look flush. Also, make sure that the new pieces that some of them are coming from the side of your head (by the ear where you started). We want these pieces to be incorporated into the front parts of the twist. So for every new section you grab and add, make sure some of them are coming all the way from the side, so that way we achieve that smooth, poofy look.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11562 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> Add a new bigger piece and twist it in![\/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11\" width=\"533\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nKeep adding bigger and bigger sections of hair and twisted. If you mess up, just untwist a little bit and start over. This style is really forgiving, so you can keep twisting and untwisting until you get it right. Try to keep the twist as close to the front of your head as possible. (Below, I pulled it a little too far away from my ear).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11565 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12\" width=\"533\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Keep adding and twisting new sections![\/caption]\r\n\r\nKeep twisting and adding pieces until all hair is twisted and the twist ends at the nape of your neck. Remember, when twisting these last few sections, that you want to pull hair over all the way from the other side so that it curves around the back of your head and twists into the hairdo. (I didn't quite do it that well here because I didn't have a mirror to see the back of my head. Sorry!) Just remember, for the back pieces of hair, comb those over so they fall over to the other side of the head and try to make them stay as flat as possible.\r\n\r\nThen twist very tightly and secure the twist with a clear hair tie at the nape of the neck. You also should secure this twist in place so that it does move. Take a bobby pin and pin the twist in place near where the hair tie is.\r\n\r\nRemember, Elsa's hair and twist is thick. If you don't have thick hair, loosen the twist by letting go of the twist a little bit and pushing the twist back toward the ear where you started (see video for demonstration). Basically, just don't twist it super tight. Make it a bit looser.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11566 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist all the way to the nape of the neck.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNow we are onto our second twist. Continue to twist the hair in the same direction as before. Twist the entire section of hair, all the way down to the end. Take a hair tie and secure this second twist in place. Continue to hold the twist taut (it will come untwisted if you let go).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11567 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14\" width=\"530\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Oops, I left out a little piece of hair![\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3>Step 3: Twisted Bun<\/h3>\r\nNow we move onto the twisted bun. Take this second twisted section and spiral it up and around, forming a circle. Elsa's twisted bun has two spirals, but depending on the length of your hair, you might only be able to get one circle or two. Once you reach the middle of the spiral and the end of your hair, tuck the end underneath the big bun. Then secure this middle section in place using a bobby pin. After this, take a bobby pin to secure the top of the bun to your head so that it doesn't flop over and move around. Use as many bobby pins as needed, but for this step, I just needed two.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11568 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15\" width=\"532\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Spiral.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nElsa's bun sits a bit lower on her head than I did here. I don't have as much (or as thick of ) hair as she does, so I needed to set my bun a little higher.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11570 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17\" width=\"520\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a> Voila![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOptional: Elsa's bun has a little blue ribbon running through it. If you want to add this, before you twist the second section of hair, just add some blue ribbon into the hair tie. Then twist the second section of hair and proceed with the style as normal.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11581 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\" alt=\"elsa coronation hair updo tutorial back\" width=\"523\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a> See the little blue ribbon?[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 3: Crown (optional)<\/h3>\r\nNow a coronation wouldn't be complete without a crown! I bought an official Disney Frozen crown at the Disney Store. Technically, this is Anna's crown. Elsa's crown is silver, even though she clearly wears a gold one in the movie (explain that to me).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> You're not a queen without a crown, duh.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake the crown and put the front of it behind the top part of your twist. Make sure that the ends of the crown are neatly tucked behind your ears and behind the twist.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11572 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19\" width=\"530\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Let the coronation begin![\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe whole look should take less than 10 minutes depending on how fast you are. It's actually pretty easy and looks glamorous in person. I've worn this coronation updo a few times and every time, I get a lot of compliments on it with people saying how much they love how full it is. It also makes me feel a bit classier and more regal--especially when I wear it with the crown.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial\" width=\"461\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nHope you guys liked this tutorial!

Also,\u00a0Roy Conli has replaced\u00a0Kristina Reed as the film's producer.\r\n\r\nHere is the official release, which came from Disney 2014 Preview Kit:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2014-01-01-at-1.59.05-PM.png\" alt=\"walt-disney-studios-big-hero-6-2014\" width=\"661\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\r\nChris Williams is a long-time Disney veteran, having both written and co-directed the 2008 film\u00a0<em>Bolt<\/em> for the studio. Before that, he worked as in the story department for\u00a0<em>Mulan, The\u00a0Emporer's New Groove<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Brother Bear. <\/em>After <em>Bolt<\/em>, he was slated to direct <em>King of the Elves<\/em>, but\u00a0that was cancelled and shelved a while ago. Recently, he did voice the trading post owner, Oaken, in\u00a0<em>Frozen.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nIt's good to see Williams finally attached to a project that we'll actually see in theatres. Obviously he's been involved in a lot of projects behind the scenes (he hasn't been sitting around twiddling his thumbs), but it's going to be great to see him in the director's chair again. However, whether Don Hall,\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>'s other co-director, is excited about this, who knows. We never really get the inside scoop about how the original director feels when suddenly it's decided the film needs a second one. Disney did this same thing recently with <em>Frozen<\/em>: Chris Buck was the solo director until it was decided about a year and half before\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s release to bring in the film's screenwriter, Jennifer Lee, as a second director.\r\n\r\nThe quiet swapping out of producers is another question mark in how\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em> is faring behind the scenes. It seems like an odd and drastic move to completely change producers this late in the game. Reed had been a production executive for a number of DreamWorks films in the mid 2000s and recently produced the 2012 short\u00a0<em>Paperman<\/em>. Moving to produce a feature seemed like a the next obvious step. However, it may have been just a bit too much to handle. Ronli has an excellent track record with Disney with producing <em>Tangled<\/em>, <em>Treasure Planet<\/em> and <em>The Hunchback of Notre Dame<\/em>, so\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0is still in good hands. (Not to mention John Lasseter is still overseeing the whole thing as executive producer.)<em>\r\n<\/em>\r\n\r\nWho knows when these two changes happened. They could have happened months ago, for all we know. Whatever the timeline, let's hope that this doesn't mean that\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>is facing production troubles. It's a film that many Disney and Marvel fans are anxiously waiting to see and it would be a shame if the film was pushed back. Most likely, these changes are for the better and will ultimately make the film even better for its November release date.\r\n\r\nHere's the footage of San Fransokyo, the fictional San Francisco-Toyko hybrid city, for\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6:<\/em>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GSV3laJplpU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><em>\r\nBig Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>opens November 7, 2014.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think of the new director and producer?

This past weekend,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>earned an estimated\u00a0$28.8 million, putting it at the number two spot behind\u00a0<em>The Hobbit<\/em>. This puts the film's domestic total at\u00a0$248.4 million, pacing it to beat out\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s domestic record of $311.5 million.\r\n\r\nIf you think these numbers are no big deal, let's put it in context. This is the film's 5th weekend out in theatres and <em>Frozen<\/em>\u00a0has to battle it out through two very competitive slots: Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has come out of both of those weekends \u00a0victorious, ranking in the top three each week. Also according to <a href=\"http:\/\/boxofficemojo.com\/news\/?id=3767&p=.htm\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u2019<\/em>s performance \u00a0this week was the third highest-earning 5th weekend of all time, behind only\u00a0<em>Avatar<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Titanic<\/em>,\u00a0($30M), which each earned $42.8 and 30 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nThis weekend's box office performance is a bump up from the third place finish <em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>had last weekend,\u00a0where it earned $19.8 million. That weekend allowed\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s domestic gross to move it ahead of both Wreck-It Ralph and Tangled, which each ultimately earned 191.6 and 200.8 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nLooks like Disney's marketing claims that this is the \"greatest Disney animated event\" since\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em> may not have been that far fetched. For decades,\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s records have been the mac daddy of Disney animation\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT.png\" alt=\"elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT\" width=\"684\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>now ranks 13th and 31st for highest-grossing animated films domestically and internationally, respectively. Frozen has earned $491.9 million internationally.\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em>, which was released this summer, currently holds the 5th place spot for both domestic and international grosses. It is likely that when Frozen finishes its theatrical run, that it will beat <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> and end up somewhere in the top 5 on both charts.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In other animation box office news,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>hasn't completely trailed away yet. The dinosaur CGI film fell to 12th place, earning $12.3 million. While its rank dropped from 8th place from its opening weekend, it's gross increased slightly from\u00a0$7.3 million. It's no doubt that these results are a disappointment for the studio, but releasing a film around Christmas is always ultra-competitive and risky business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Do you think 'Frozen'\u00a0will beat 'The Lion King''s record?

It's not going to be good.\", but then you leave surprisingly impressed. That was <em>Walking With Dinosaur<\/em>s for me. At first glance, it seems like yet another dinosaur animated film, but upon viewing, it is so much more than that and deserves a chance.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster\" width=\"305\" height=\"453\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is BBC film based on a 1999 documentary miniseries of the same name. The difference is that this <em>Walking with Dinosaurs <\/em>iteration is that it not only\u00a0teaches us about dinosaurs, but it also does so by weaving it into an interesting narrative. The film features computer animated dinosaurs in live-action settings. And boy, is it pretty. The CGI characters perfectly blend into the backgrounds and never seem out of the place. For the most part, the dinosaurs are very lifelike and realistic: no goofy faces, cartoony reactions or moving mouths. Book ended by two modern-day scenes of a disinterested\u00a0teen who would rather chill on his cell phone than excavate some fossils with his sister and uncle in Alaska,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> tells the story of three\u00a0<i>Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, Scowler and Juniper. Patchi and Scowler are brothers, with Patchi being the runt and Scowler being the\u00a0<\/i>over sized<i>\u00a0bully. Juniper is\u00a0from a different herd, but very quickly catches the eye of the brothers. The story is narrated by a prehistoric bird, an Alexornis appropriately named Alex. The story follows the\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus as they grow up, migrate, and face the dangerous world of the Cretaceous period.<\/i> There are only four talking characters in the movie--Alex, Patchi, Scowler and Juniper--and I thought that was a smart choice. To keep the movie from becoming Talking with Dinosaurs, these four characters do not move their mouths and speak, but rather their thoughts are simply voiced over. Even when they are speaking, they don't have any human characteristics at all: no raised eyebrows, no smiles, nothing; they act and behave only as dinosaurs really would millions of years ago. All other characters make appropriate grunts and roars, but never speak with the main characters in any human way.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\" alt=\"alex-patchi-nest_medium\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nNow, let's be real here. The dialogue (and love plot) is rather simply and very cheesy at times.\u00a0I wonder why it was even needed at all. The story could have been presented with a narrator much like\u00a0<em>March of the Penguins<\/em> and it would have been equally as engaging and fun, even for younger audiences. I think this would have made the film appeal to a wider audience because the voice-over dialogue in the trailers seem to dumb it down, making people think it's a kid's movie. That being said, I found this movie incredibly interesting. It excellently strikes a balance between being both educational and entertaining. The educational elements are fun: whenever we are introduced to a new species of dinosaur, the action stops, the dinosaur is brought to the front on a black background and a voice tells us it's name and the name's meaning. Then we un-pause and the action starts again. While some would think that this would ruin the momentum, it did not. It was fun to learn the name, see how it was spelled and ultimately leave the theatre a little more educated. Now, these educational segments stopped roughly halfway into the movie, which was a shame. I would have liked to be introduced to even more dinosaurs, even if they were somewhat insignificant to the plot.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\" alt=\"gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational\" width=\"614\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nI praise the types of dinosaurs the filmmakers chose to highlight in this film because they were rather unconventional and lesser known species. You won't see any\u00a0Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus or Triceratops; instead you'll meet new species like\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus,\u00a0<i>Gorgosaurus,\u00a0<i>Edmontosaurus\u00a0and more. <\/i><\/i>If you have younger children, particularly boys, they will love this film. Both my nephews, ages 5 and 3, who I took with me said they liked it more than <em>Frozen<\/em> (and trust me, they\u00a0<em>love\u00a0<\/em><em>Frozen<\/em>). The animation, effects and characters were all computer animated and splendidly done. I was awe-struck at how well the characters blended into the live-action backgrounds. The backgrounds were shot in Alaska and New Zealand using the\u00a0cutting-edge 3D Fusion Camera System used by James Cameron in <em>Avatar<\/em>. The final result is dynamic, incredibly realistic and worth seeing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still\" width=\"606\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a> <em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is educational and surprisingly entertaining. The dialogue is a bit unneccesary, but at least it's scaled back to only a few characters. Overall, don't count\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>out. It's one final animation film of 2013 that's worth seeing.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Walking with Dinosaurs' Is Educational & Surprisingly Entertaining","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-walking-with-dinosaurs-is-educational-surprisingly-entertaining","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-15 10:33:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-15 17:33:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=11734","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11631,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-12-17 09:35:45","post_date_gmt":"2013-12-17 16:35:45","post_content":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo-1024x580.png\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo\" width=\"614\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nRejoice, <em>Swan Princess<\/em> fans.

Check it out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dg24zxbn-iw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale <\/em>is a direct-to-video film that\u00a0shows Odette and Derek after their happily ever after as they adopt a new child named Elise. Elise is an older girl, around 6-9 years old, and the kingdom is head over heels in love with their new princess. But the new little family's happiness doesn't last for long when Elise is kidnapped by a troupe of squirrels who believe that Odette is the prophesied evil swan. Dun, dun, dun!\r\n\r\nIt's interesting to see the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise take on an adoption story line rather than go the Odette-is-pregnant route. I guess pregnancy complicates things and would force some parents to have \"the talk\" with their children. <em>The Rescuers<\/em> and to some extent\u00a0<em>Oliver & Company\u00a0<\/em>took on adoption themes, but I'll be honest, I never thought the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> would go this route.\r\n\r\nI'll just talk about the elephant in the room: the animation isn't stellar. As much as I want to like it, it looks like a cheap video game. Some of the scenes where the horses are running reminds of Epona's movements in\u00a0<em>Ocarina of Time<\/em>, which came out in 1998. I personally would rather have cheap-looking 2D animation than really bad CGI, but apparently that's not what the kids want these days.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Swan-Princess-Family-UltraViolet-Digital\/dp\/B00DJYJPOG?&linkCode=wey&tag=therotos-20\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover\" width=\"278\" height=\"368\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nThe Blu-ray cover doesn't show the CGI characters as they appear in the film--the designs are a weird mashup of CGI and 2D.

For full step-by-step tutorial, keep reading!\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m4nVdL2xBN0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center> \r\n<h3>Prep<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-side.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-side\" width=\"400\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a> This hair style can be done on both clean and \"dirty\" hair. (meaning hair that hasn't been washed that day). For best results, do this look on two- or three-day hair. Also, this hair style works best for people with long hair since Elsa has very long hair herself. You can still recreate the look with shorter hair, but may need more bobby pins to secure it in place and might not have enough hair to do the bun twist at the back.\r\n<h3>Step 1: Volumize<\/h3>\r\nElsa is a cartoon character, so no wonder her hair looks larger than life. The top part of Elsa's hair (the part not in the twist) is very rounded and almost poofy. We need to volumize and tease the hair so that it has that cartoon volume.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-back\" width=\"368\" height=\"259\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nElsa's twist also doesn't have a visible part. Her hair is completely swept over from one side to the other. So take your hair and position it so it falls over the top of your head and all lands on the other side. You might have to tilt you head to the side on which you want it to fall. Keep combing through your hair so that the hair gets used to laying this way.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1\" width=\"533\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tilt your head and sweep your hair to one side.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThen section off the furthest side (away from where all the hair is falling) making a part from the front of your head to the back. Take this section and start to tease it. Once that section is done, let it it fall and begin to tease another section of hair. Continue this until your entire head is teased.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11555 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2\" width=\"532\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tease, baby, tease![\/caption]\r\n\r\nAlso, the hair on the back of Elsa's hair lays almost horizontal (going from one ear to another). Section the back of your hair into vertical strips, then tease your hair in the back so that it lays this way as well.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11556 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3\" width=\"534\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Don't forget to tease and fold over the back![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOnce you're done with all that teasing, move the all the hair back to the one side. Then take the comb and comb out the top of the hair so that it's smooth and not ratty.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> After you've teased the front and back, smooth everything back out.[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 2: Twist<\/h3>\r\nIf you have bangs, likes Elsa, pull those out and pin them aside using a bobby pin. We don't want the bangs to get in the twist. The twist is actually a simple twist, but it does take a while to get right. Elsa's twist start near the top side of her head, but in real life, it works better if you start lower by your ears.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11560 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7\" width=\"532\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Start here.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake a small piece by your ear and start twisting. Make sure you are twisting the hair up and toward the back of your head. Twist this piece so the majority of it is twisted.\u00a0Also, make sure the piece is already facing the direction toward the top of your head. The hair will lay better if it's twisted as closely to where it is ultimately going to fall.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist up and back.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNext take the next section of hair (a bigger piece that you started). You are going to twist this piece and then twist it into the twist that you just started. Make sure that the two pieces don't look like two separate twisted sections. Elsa's twist looks almost like one fluid twist, so keep trying and twisting until the the original piece and this new added piece look flush. Also, make sure that the new pieces that some of them are coming from the side of your head (by the ear where you started). We want these pieces to be incorporated into the front parts of the twist. So for every new section you grab and add, make sure some of them are coming all the way from the side, so that way we achieve that smooth, poofy look.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11562 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> Add a new bigger piece and twist it in![\/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11\" width=\"533\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nKeep adding bigger and bigger sections of hair and twisted. If you mess up, just untwist a little bit and start over. This style is really forgiving, so you can keep twisting and untwisting until you get it right. Try to keep the twist as close to the front of your head as possible. (Below, I pulled it a little too far away from my ear).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11565 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12\" width=\"533\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Keep adding and twisting new sections![\/caption]\r\n\r\nKeep twisting and adding pieces until all hair is twisted and the twist ends at the nape of your neck. Remember, when twisting these last few sections, that you want to pull hair over all the way from the other side so that it curves around the back of your head and twists into the hairdo. (I didn't quite do it that well here because I didn't have a mirror to see the back of my head. Sorry!) Just remember, for the back pieces of hair, comb those over so they fall over to the other side of the head and try to make them stay as flat as possible.\r\n\r\nThen twist very tightly and secure the twist with a clear hair tie at the nape of the neck. You also should secure this twist in place so that it does move. Take a bobby pin and pin the twist in place near where the hair tie is.\r\n\r\nRemember, Elsa's hair and twist is thick. If you don't have thick hair, loosen the twist by letting go of the twist a little bit and pushing the twist back toward the ear where you started (see video for demonstration). Basically, just don't twist it super tight. Make it a bit looser.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11566 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist all the way to the nape of the neck.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNow we are onto our second twist. Continue to twist the hair in the same direction as before. Twist the entire section of hair, all the way down to the end. Take a hair tie and secure this second twist in place. Continue to hold the twist taut (it will come untwisted if you let go).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11567 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14\" width=\"530\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Oops, I left out a little piece of hair![\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3>Step 3: Twisted Bun<\/h3>\r\nNow we move onto the twisted bun. Take this second twisted section and spiral it up and around, forming a circle. Elsa's twisted bun has two spirals, but depending on the length of your hair, you might only be able to get one circle or two. Once you reach the middle of the spiral and the end of your hair, tuck the end underneath the big bun. Then secure this middle section in place using a bobby pin. After this, take a bobby pin to secure the top of the bun to your head so that it doesn't flop over and move around. Use as many bobby pins as needed, but for this step, I just needed two.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11568 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15\" width=\"532\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Spiral.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nElsa's bun sits a bit lower on her head than I did here. I don't have as much (or as thick of ) hair as she does, so I needed to set my bun a little higher.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11570 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17\" width=\"520\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a> Voila![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOptional: Elsa's bun has a little blue ribbon running through it. If you want to add this, before you twist the second section of hair, just add some blue ribbon into the hair tie. Then twist the second section of hair and proceed with the style as normal.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11581 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\" alt=\"elsa coronation hair updo tutorial back\" width=\"523\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a> See the little blue ribbon?[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 3: Crown (optional)<\/h3>\r\nNow a coronation wouldn't be complete without a crown! I bought an official Disney Frozen crown at the Disney Store. Technically, this is Anna's crown. Elsa's crown is silver, even though she clearly wears a gold one in the movie (explain that to me).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> You're not a queen without a crown, duh.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake the crown and put the front of it behind the top part of your twist. Make sure that the ends of the crown are neatly tucked behind your ears and behind the twist.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11572 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19\" width=\"530\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Let the coronation begin![\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe whole look should take less than 10 minutes depending on how fast you are. It's actually pretty easy and looks glamorous in person. I've worn this coronation updo a few times and every time, I get a lot of compliments on it with people saying how much they love how full it is.

I haven't designed for an animated character before, and I'm excited to take my skills into\u00a0Zarina's world. She's a unique and new character and I wanted to help make her memorable and iconic.\u00a0Disney\u00a0characters are everlasting and I'm so happy as a young designer to help create a bit of\u00a0Disney\u00a0history.<\/i><i>\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/blockquote>\r\nSiriano is known for his over-the-top, couture designs that have a \"wow\" factor. He's one of the most successful designers to come off of <em>Project Runway<\/em>, recently designing a shoe line for Payless.\u00a0Take a look at some of Siriano's design sketches below, including his sketch of Zarina's final costume that we see in the film.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano.jpg\"><img class=\" wp-image-12044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano-835x1024.jpg\" alt=\"the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano\" width=\"501\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a> Zarina costume design sketches by Christian Siriano[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano-final-design.jpg\"><img class=\" wp-image-12046\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano-final-design-794x1024.jpg\" alt=\"the-pirate-fairy-costume-designs-zarina-christian-siriano-final-design\" width=\"476\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a> Zarina's (almost) final design sketch by Christian Siriano[\/caption]\r\n\r\nMore than anything it seems more like a gimmick to bring Siriano on board. Then again, it is becoming the norm to bring in the industry's best fashion and hair designers when designing animated characters. Recently for Disney's<em> Frozen<\/em>, a famous hair designer to help create Elsa's iconic hairdo. Nonetheless, Zarina's costume design is gorgeous, current and on-trend. I'd love to see this outfit hit store shelves for Halloween or cosplay.\r\n\r\n<i>In this fifth installment in the Tinker Bell franchise, we meet Zarina: a dust-keeper fairy who has gone rogue and joined a band of pirates.

14:16:53","post_date_gmt":"2014-01-01 21:16:53","post_content":"Disney recently released a lot of info about its upcoming 2014 film slate and with it, some news that its new Marvel animated film\u00a0<strong><em>Big Hero 6<\/em><\/strong> has added Chris Williams as a co-director. Also,\u00a0Roy Conli has replaced\u00a0Kristina Reed as the film's producer.\r\n\r\nHere is the official release, which came from Disney 2014 Preview Kit:\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Screen-Shot-2014-01-01-at-1.59.05-PM.png\" alt=\"walt-disney-studios-big-hero-6-2014\" width=\"661\" height=\"419\" \/><\/p>\r\nChris Williams is a long-time Disney veteran, having both written and co-directed the 2008 film\u00a0<em>Bolt<\/em> for the studio. Before that, he worked as in the story department for\u00a0<em>Mulan, The\u00a0Emporer's New Groove<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Brother Bear. <\/em>After <em>Bolt<\/em>, he was slated to direct <em>King of the Elves<\/em>, but\u00a0that was cancelled and shelved a while ago. Recently, he did voice the trading post owner, Oaken, in\u00a0<em>Frozen.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nIt's good to see Williams finally attached to a project that we'll actually see in theatres. Obviously he's been involved in a lot of projects behind the scenes (he hasn't been sitting around twiddling his thumbs), but it's going to be great to see him in the director's chair again. However, whether Don Hall,\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>'s other co-director, is excited about this, who knows. We never really get the inside scoop about how the original director feels when suddenly it's decided the film needs a second one. Disney did this same thing recently with <em>Frozen<\/em>: Chris Buck was the solo director until it was decided about a year and half before\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s release to bring in the film's screenwriter, Jennifer Lee, as a second director.\r\n\r\nThe quiet swapping out of producers is another question mark in how\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em> is faring behind the scenes. It seems like an odd and drastic move to completely change producers this late in the game. Reed had been a production executive for a number of DreamWorks films in the mid 2000s and recently produced the 2012 short\u00a0<em>Paperman<\/em>. Moving to produce a feature seemed like a the next obvious step. However, it may have been just a bit too much to handle. Ronli has an excellent track record with Disney with producing <em>Tangled<\/em>, <em>Treasure Planet<\/em> and <em>The Hunchback of Notre Dame<\/em>, so\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6<\/em>\u00a0is still in good hands. (Not to mention John Lasseter is still overseeing the whole thing as executive producer.)<em>\r\n<\/em>\r\n\r\nWho knows when these two changes happened. They could have happened months ago, for all we know. Whatever the timeline, let's hope that this doesn't mean that\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>is facing production troubles. It's a film that many Disney and Marvel fans are anxiously waiting to see and it would be a shame if the film was pushed back. Most likely, these changes are for the better and will ultimately make the film even better for its November release date.\r\n\r\nHere's the footage of San Fransokyo, the fictional San Francisco-Toyko hybrid city, for\u00a0<em>Big Hero 6:<\/em>\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GSV3laJplpU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><em>\r\nBig Hero 6\u00a0<\/em>opens November 7, 2014.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>What do you think of the new director and producer?

This past weekend,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>earned an estimated\u00a0$28.8 million, putting it at the number two spot behind\u00a0<em>The Hobbit<\/em>. This puts the film's domestic total at\u00a0$248.4 million, pacing it to beat out\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s domestic record of $311.5 million.\r\n\r\nIf you think these numbers are no big deal, let's put it in context. This is the film's 5th weekend out in theatres and <em>Frozen<\/em>\u00a0has to battle it out through two very competitive slots: Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has come out of both of those weekends \u00a0victorious, ranking in the top three each week. Also according to <a href=\"http:\/\/boxofficemojo.com\/news\/?id=3767&p=.htm\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>,\u00a0<em>Frozen\u2019<\/em>s performance \u00a0this week was the third highest-earning 5th weekend of all time, behind only\u00a0<em>Avatar<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Titanic<\/em>,\u00a0($30M), which each earned $42.8 and 30 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nThis weekend's box office performance is a bump up from the third place finish <em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>had last weekend,\u00a0where it earned $19.8 million. That weekend allowed\u00a0<em>Frozen<\/em>'s domestic gross to move it ahead of both Wreck-It Ralph and Tangled, which each ultimately earned 191.6 and 200.8 million, respectively.\r\n\r\nLooks like Disney's marketing claims that this is the \"greatest Disney animated event\" since\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em> may not have been that far fetched. For decades,\u00a0<em>The Lion King<\/em>'s records have been the mac daddy of Disney animation\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT.png\" alt=\"elsa-frozen-trailer-GREATEST-ANIMATED-EVENT\" width=\"684\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Frozen\u00a0<\/em>now ranks 13th and 31st for highest-grossing animated films domestically and internationally, respectively. Frozen has earned $491.9 million internationally.\u00a0<em>Despicable Me 2<\/em>, which was released this summer, currently holds the 5th place spot for both domestic and international grosses. It is likely that when Frozen finishes its theatrical run, that it will beat <em>Despicable Me 2<\/em> and end up somewhere in the top 5 on both charts.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In other animation box office news,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>hasn't completely trailed away yet. The dinosaur CGI film fell to 12th place, earning $12.3 million. While its rank dropped from 8th place from its opening weekend, it's gross increased slightly from\u00a0$7.3 million. It's no doubt that these results are a disappointment for the studio, but releasing a film around Christmas is always ultra-competitive and risky business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Do you think 'Frozen'\u00a0will beat 'The Lion King''s record?

It's not going to be good.\", but then you leave surprisingly impressed. That was <em>Walking With Dinosaur<\/em>s for me. At first glance, it seems like yet another dinosaur animated film, but upon viewing, it is so much more than that and deserves a chance.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-poster\" width=\"305\" height=\"453\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\n<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is BBC film based on a 1999 documentary miniseries of the same name. The difference is that this <em>Walking with Dinosaurs <\/em>iteration is that it not only\u00a0teaches us about dinosaurs, but it also does so by weaving it into an interesting narrative. The film features computer animated dinosaurs in live-action settings. And boy, is it pretty. The CGI characters perfectly blend into the backgrounds and never seem out of the place. For the most part, the dinosaurs are very lifelike and realistic: no goofy faces, cartoony reactions or moving mouths. Book ended by two modern-day scenes of a disinterested\u00a0teen who would rather chill on his cell phone than excavate some fossils with his sister and uncle in Alaska,\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> tells the story of three\u00a0<i>Pachyrhinosaurus named Patchi, Scowler and Juniper. Patchi and Scowler are brothers, with Patchi being the runt and Scowler being the\u00a0<\/i>over sized<i>\u00a0bully. Juniper is\u00a0from a different herd, but very quickly catches the eye of the brothers. The story is narrated by a prehistoric bird, an Alexornis appropriately named Alex. The story follows the\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus as they grow up, migrate, and face the dangerous world of the Cretaceous period.<\/i> There are only four talking characters in the movie--Alex, Patchi, Scowler and Juniper--and I thought that was a smart choice. To keep the movie from becoming Talking with Dinosaurs, these four characters do not move their mouths and speak, but rather their thoughts are simply voiced over. Even when they are speaking, they don't have any human characteristics at all: no raised eyebrows, no smiles, nothing; they act and behave only as dinosaurs really would millions of years ago. All other characters make appropriate grunts and roars, but never speak with the main characters in any human way.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11744\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/alex-patchi-nest_medium.jpg\" alt=\"alex-patchi-nest_medium\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nNow, let's be real here. The dialogue (and love plot) is rather simply and very cheesy at times.\u00a0I wonder why it was even needed at all. The story could have been presented with a narrator much like\u00a0<em>March of the Penguins<\/em> and it would have been equally as engaging and fun, even for younger audiences. I think this would have made the film appeal to a wider audience because the voice-over dialogue in the trailers seem to dumb it down, making people think it's a kid's movie. That being said, I found this movie incredibly interesting. It excellently strikes a balance between being both educational and entertaining. The educational elements are fun: whenever we are introduced to a new species of dinosaur, the action stops, the dinosaur is brought to the front on a black background and a voice tells us it's name and the name's meaning. Then we un-pause and the action starts again. While some would think that this would ruin the momentum, it did not. It was fun to learn the name, see how it was spelled and ultimately leave the theatre a little more educated. Now, these educational segments stopped roughly halfway into the movie, which was a shame. I would have liked to be introduced to even more dinosaurs, even if they were somewhat insignificant to the plot.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational.jpg\" alt=\"gorgonsaurus-walking-with-dinosaurs-educational\" width=\"614\" height=\"346\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nI praise the types of dinosaurs the filmmakers chose to highlight in this film because they were rather unconventional and lesser known species. You won't see any\u00a0Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus or Triceratops; instead you'll meet new species like\u00a0Pachyrhinosaurus,\u00a0<i>Gorgosaurus,\u00a0<i>Edmontosaurus\u00a0and more. <\/i><\/i>If you have younger children, particularly boys, they will love this film. Both my nephews, ages 5 and 3, who I took with me said they liked it more than <em>Frozen<\/em> (and trust me, they\u00a0<em>love\u00a0<\/em><em>Frozen<\/em>). The animation, effects and characters were all computer animated and splendidly done. I was awe-struck at how well the characters blended into the live-action backgrounds. The backgrounds were shot in Alaska and New Zealand using the\u00a0cutting-edge 3D Fusion Camera System used by James Cameron in <em>Avatar<\/em>. The final result is dynamic, incredibly realistic and worth seeing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still.jpg\" alt=\"walking-with-dinosaurs-movie-still\" width=\"606\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a> <em>Walking with Dinosaurs<\/em> is educational and surprisingly entertaining. The dialogue is a bit unneccesary, but at least it's scaled back to only a few characters. Overall, don't count\u00a0<em>Walking with Dinosaurs\u00a0<\/em>out. It's one final animation film of 2013 that's worth seeing.\r\n<h3>\u2605\u2605\u26051\/2<\/h3>","post_title":"[REVIEW] 'Walking with Dinosaurs' Is Educational & Surprisingly Entertaining","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"review-walking-with-dinosaurs-is-educational-surprisingly-entertaining","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2014-08-15 10:33:47","post_modified_gmt":"2014-08-15 17:33:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/rotoscopers.com\/?p=11734","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"4","filter":"raw"},{"ID":11631,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2013-12-17 09:35:45","post_date_gmt":"2013-12-17 16:35:45","post_content":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo-1024x580.png\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-title-treatment-logo\" width=\"614\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nRejoice, <em>Swan Princess<\/em> fans. Last year we got\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/tag\/swan-princess-christmas\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Swan Princess Christmas<\/em><\/a> after the series' 12-year hiatus and this year we're getting a fifth installment in the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise:\u00a0<strong><em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale<\/em><\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThe trailer was released back in November, but we just caught wind of it recently. Check it out below.\r\n\r\n<center><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dg24zxbn-iw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale <\/em>is a direct-to-video film that\u00a0shows Odette and Derek after their happily ever after as they adopt a new child named Elise. Elise is an older girl, around 6-9 years old, and the kingdom is head over heels in love with their new princess. But the new little family's happiness doesn't last for long when Elise is kidnapped by a troupe of squirrels who believe that Odette is the prophesied evil swan. Dun, dun, dun!\r\n\r\nIt's interesting to see the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> franchise take on an adoption story line rather than go the Odette-is-pregnant route. I guess pregnancy complicates things and would force some parents to have \"the talk\" with their children. <em>The Rescuers<\/em> and to some extent\u00a0<em>Oliver & Company\u00a0<\/em>took on adoption themes, but I'll be honest, I never thought the\u00a0<em>Swan Princess<\/em> would go this route.\r\n\r\nI'll just talk about the elephant in the room: the animation isn't stellar. As much as I want to like it, it looks like a cheap video game. Some of the scenes where the horses are running reminds of Epona's movements in\u00a0<em>Ocarina of Time<\/em>, which came out in 1998. I personally would rather have cheap-looking 2D animation than really bad CGI, but apparently that's not what the kids want these days.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Swan-Princess-Family-UltraViolet-Digital\/dp\/B00DJYJPOG?&linkCode=wey&tag=therotos-20\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover-773x1024.jpg\" alt=\"swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-dvd-cover\" width=\"278\" height=\"368\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nThe Blu-ray cover doesn't show the CGI characters as they appear in the film--the designs are a weird mashup of CGI and 2D. Odette's face looks suspiciously like Barbie's from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=barbie&linkCode=ur2&tag=therotos-20&url=search-alias%3Dmovies-tv\">Barbie movie covers<\/a>. It seems like a bait-and-switch tactic, attempting to lure in unsuspecting buyers into thinking they're buying a new Barbie film.\r\n\r\nThe film is directed by the Richard Rich, who has directed all of the <em>Swan Princess<\/em> film to date. The series must be a cash cow for him and his studio Crest Animation Productions because they keep bringing us more <em>Swan Princess<\/em>! And as a business person, I can't blame him.\r\n\r\n<em>Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale\u00a0<\/em>will be released February 25, 2014, just in time for the series' 20th anniversary.

(meaning hair that hasn't been washed that day). For best results, do this look on two- or three-day hair. Also, this hair style works best for people with long hair since Elsa has very long hair herself. You can still recreate the look with shorter hair, but may need more bobby pins to secure it in place and might not have enough hair to do the bun twist at the back.\r\n<h3>Step 1: Volumize<\/h3>\r\nElsa is a cartoon character, so no wonder her hair looks larger than life. The top part of Elsa's hair (the part not in the twist) is very rounded and almost poofy. We need to volumize and tease the hair so that it has that cartoon volume.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-back.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-back\" width=\"368\" height=\"259\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nElsa's twist also doesn't have a visible part. Her hair is completely swept over from one side to the other. So take your hair and position it so it falls over the top of your head and all lands on the other side. You might have to tilt you head to the side on which you want it to fall. Keep combing through your hair so that the hair gets used to laying this way.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-1\" width=\"533\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tilt your head and sweep your hair to one side.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThen section off the furthest side (away from where all the hair is falling) making a part from the front of your head to the back. Take this section and start to tease it. Once that section is done, let it it fall and begin to tease another section of hair. Continue this until your entire head is teased.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11555 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-2\" width=\"532\" height=\"298\" \/><\/a> Tease, baby, tease![\/caption]\r\n\r\nAlso, the hair on the back of Elsa's hair lays almost horizontal (going from one ear to another). Section the back of your hair into vertical strips, then tease your hair in the back so that it lays this way as well.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11556 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-3\" width=\"534\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Don't forget to tease and fold over the back![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOnce you're done with all that teasing, move the all the hair back to the one side. Then take the comb and comb out the top of the hair so that it's smooth and not ratty.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-4\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> After you've teased the front and back, smooth everything back out.[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 2: Twist<\/h3>\r\nIf you have bangs, likes Elsa, pull those out and pin them aside using a bobby pin. We don't want the bangs to get in the twist. The twist is actually a simple twist, but it does take a while to get right. Elsa's twist start near the top side of her head, but in real life, it works better if you start lower by your ears.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11560 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-7\" width=\"532\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Start here.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake a small piece by your ear and start twisting. Make sure you are twisting the hair up and toward the back of your head. Twist this piece so the majority of it is twisted.\u00a0Also, make sure the piece is already facing the direction toward the top of your head. The hair will lay better if it's twisted as closely to where it is ultimately going to fall.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-8\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist up and back.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNext take the next section of hair (a bigger piece that you started). You are going to twist this piece and then twist it into the twist that you just started. Make sure that the two pieces don't look like two separate twisted sections. Elsa's twist looks almost like one fluid twist, so keep trying and twisting until the the original piece and this new added piece look flush. Also, make sure that the new pieces that some of them are coming from the side of your head (by the ear where you started). We want these pieces to be incorporated into the front parts of the twist. So for every new section you grab and add, make sure some of them are coming all the way from the side, so that way we achieve that smooth, poofy look.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11562 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-9\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> Add a new bigger piece and twist it in![\/caption]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-11\" width=\"533\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nKeep adding bigger and bigger sections of hair and twisted. If you mess up, just untwist a little bit and start over. This style is really forgiving, so you can keep twisting and untwisting until you get it right. Try to keep the twist as close to the front of your head as possible. (Below, I pulled it a little too far away from my ear).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11565 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-12\" width=\"533\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Keep adding and twisting new sections![\/caption]\r\n\r\nKeep twisting and adding pieces until all hair is twisted and the twist ends at the nape of your neck. Remember, when twisting these last few sections, that you want to pull hair over all the way from the other side so that it curves around the back of your head and twists into the hairdo. (I didn't quite do it that well here because I didn't have a mirror to see the back of my head. Sorry!) Just remember, for the back pieces of hair, comb those over so they fall over to the other side of the head and try to make them stay as flat as possible.\r\n\r\nThen twist very tightly and secure the twist with a clear hair tie at the nape of the neck. You also should secure this twist in place so that it does move. Take a bobby pin and pin the twist in place near where the hair tie is.\r\n\r\nRemember, Elsa's hair and twist is thick. If you don't have thick hair, loosen the twist by letting go of the twist a little bit and pushing the twist back toward the ear where you started (see video for demonstration). Basically, just don't twist it super tight. Make it a bit looser.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11566 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-13\" width=\"531\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Twist all the way to the nape of the neck.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nNow we are onto our second twist. Continue to twist the hair in the same direction as before. Twist the entire section of hair, all the way down to the end. Take a hair tie and secure this second twist in place. Continue to hold the twist taut (it will come untwisted if you let go).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11567 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-14\" width=\"530\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Oops, I left out a little piece of hair![\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3>Step 3: Twisted Bun<\/h3>\r\nNow we move onto the twisted bun. Take this second twisted section and spiral it up and around, forming a circle. Elsa's twisted bun has two spirals, but depending on the length of your hair, you might only be able to get one circle or two. Once you reach the middle of the spiral and the end of your hair, tuck the end underneath the big bun. Then secure this middle section in place using a bobby pin. After this, take a bobby pin to secure the top of the bun to your head so that it doesn't flop over and move around. Use as many bobby pins as needed, but for this step, I just needed two.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11568 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-15\" width=\"532\" height=\"295\" \/><\/a> Spiral.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nElsa's bun sits a bit lower on her head than I did here. I don't have as much (or as thick of ) hair as she does, so I needed to set my bun a little higher.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11570 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-17\" width=\"520\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a> Voila![\/caption]\r\n\r\nOptional: Elsa's bun has a little blue ribbon running through it. If you want to add this, before you twist the second section of hair, just add some blue ribbon into the hair tie. Then twist the second section of hair and proceed with the style as normal.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11581 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-updo-tutorial-back.png\" alt=\"elsa coronation hair updo tutorial back\" width=\"523\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a> See the little blue ribbon?[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Step 3: Crown (optional)<\/h3>\r\nNow a coronation wouldn't be complete without a crown! I bought an official Disney Frozen crown at the Disney Store. Technically, this is Anna's crown. Elsa's crown is silver, even though she clearly wears a gold one in the movie (explain that to me).\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-18\" width=\"532\" height=\"297\" \/><\/a> You're not a queen without a crown, duh.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nTake the crown and put the front of it behind the top part of your twist. Make sure that the ends of the crown are neatly tucked behind your ears and behind the twist.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\"><img class=\" wp-image-11572 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19.png\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial-19\" width=\"530\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a> Let the coronation begin![\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe whole look should take less than 10 minutes depending on how fast you are. It's actually pretty easy and looks glamorous in person. I've worn this coronation updo a few times and every time, I get a lot of compliments on it with people saying how much they love how full it is. It also makes me feel a bit classier and more regal--especially when I wear it with the crown.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotoscopers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial.jpg\" alt=\"elsa-coronation-hair-twist-updo-hair-tutorial\" width=\"461\" height=\"614\" \/><\/a><\/p>\r\nHope you guys liked this tutorial!
