Popeye the Sailor Man is a cartoon fictional character, created by Elzie Crisler Segar,who has appeared in comic strips and theatrical and television animated cartoons. He first appeared in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17, 1929; Popeye became the strip's title in later years.

Although Segar's Thimble Theatre strip was in its tenth year when Popeye made his debut, the sailor quickly became the main focus of the strip and Thimble Theatre soon became one of King Features' most popular properties during the 1930s. Thimble Theatre was continued after Segar's death in 1938 by several writers and artists, most notably Segar's assistant Bud Sagendorf.

In 1933, Max and Dave Fleischer's Fleischer Studios adapted the Thimble Theatre characters into a series of Popeye the Sailor theatrical cartoon shorts for Paramount Pictures. These cartoons proved to be among the most popular of the 1930s, and the Fleischers—and later Paramount's own Famous Studios—continued production through 1957.

Over the years, Popeye has also appeared in comic books, television cartoons, arcade and video games, hundreds of advertisements and peripheral products

creative work

Anything creative is joy from inception itself. Yet if that creativity meets passion and hard work the result is sheer magic. Pixar and Walt Disney are the true magic weavers that enthralled audiences for years. This clip is a small insight into the creative process of making a film. The amount of collaborative work, research and hard work that goes into producing a product of this calibre is great inspiration for anyone in the creative field. A sheer joy comes at each and every stage between inception to completion of the product.

good ideas

The RSA Animate series was conceived as an innovative, accessible and unique way of illustrating and sharing the world-changing ideas from the RSA's free public events programme. With millions of views and thousands of comments, fans and subscribers, RSA Animates have revolutionised the field of knowledge visualisation whilst spreading the most important ideas of our time.

One of our most innovative, popular thinkers takes on-in exhilarating style-one of our key questions: Where do good ideas come from?

With Where Good Ideas Come From, Steven Johnson pairs the insight of his bestselling Everything Bad Is Good for You and the dazzling erudition of The Ghost Map and The Invention of Air to address an urgent and universal question: What sparks the flash of brilliance? How does groundbreaking innovation happen? Answering in his infectious, culturally omnivorous style, using his fluency in fields from neurobiology to popular culture, Johnson provides the complete, exciting, and encouraging story of how we generate the ideas that push our careers, our lives, our society, and our culture forward.

race

Destiny is a short film directed by Fabien Weibel, Sandrine Wurster, Victor Debatisse and Manuel Alligné for their graduation. Destiny talks about how we are simply prisoners of time. It captures the relationship between time, death and reality. It talks about how one yearns to be free of time's iron clasp on our lives. Time has surely become a winner in our race to survival perhaps it is about time we turned the hands of the clock in our favour.

celluloid

Celluloid is really several pictures strung together especially in the case of animated movies. Character development, sketching, visualization and continuity are key elements for an animator to imbibe.
Storyboards are graphic organizers in the form of illustrations or images displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, animation, motion graphic or interactive media sequence.

The storyboarding process, in the form it is known today, was developed at Walt Disney Productions during the early 1930s, after several years of similar processes being in use at Walt Disney and other animation.
