Animated Picture Maker Biography
Google have been busy the past few weeks focusing on a lot of different things, Google Keep to name one. But what they’ve also been focusing on is animated GIF’s with the new option to search for just animated GIF images within Googles Image Search and now Animated GIF support for Google+ profile pictures.

This new addition to Google+ profiles is probably an attempt to become more current and appeal to those who love cat meme’s and GIFS of dogs running into screen glass doors. It seems like Google have been focusing a lot on the humble GIF recently so what’s up Google’s sleeve?

I have a couple of ideas!

A Vine Rival – Vine is the new app from Twitter that’s currently exclusive to iOS devices and features the ability to create quick 6 second clips of your pets, your food, or some other humdrum activity. A Google version of Vine would not only be more superior, but it’d probably be an Android exclusive and involve Google+ a lot.

A GIF Maker - Google could implement a GIF creator within their Android OS. Whether it’s a part of the Movie Maker app or an entirely new app this could quite possibly happen. Google GIF’s perhaps?

That’s just me spit balling here however. This might not happen at all.Pratt is able to make these fan films thanks to skills he’s collected from years as a Disney animator. He started at Walt Disney Feature Animation in 1994, where he worked on Pocahontas, Hercules, Tarzan and Fantasia 2000. Pratt later worked on Disney direct-to-video titles such as The Lion King 1 1/2 and Tarzan II, as well as TV productions including Kim Possible, The Emperor’s New School, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Meanwhile, he honed his abilities as a director on several episodes of the animated TV series The Replacements.

When Pratt decided to make Superman Classic in spring 2010, he knew the project would be a labor of love, offering no monetary gain. Instead, he simply took pleasure from working on a film – even a fan film – starring his favorite superhero, Superman. Pratt created the minute-and-a-half short during his spare time late at night. He drew the characters on paper; then he scanned each frame, so he could digitally color and composite the characters into the backgrounds. John Newton, who played Superboy in the first season of the ’80s TV series Superboy, was cast as the voice of Clark Kent/Superman, while wife Jennifer Newton lent her voice to Lois Lane. Superman Classic made waves among comic book fans when it hit YouTube in February 2011. Bloggers praised the fan film as a modern update of Fleischer Studios’ Superman cartoons from the ’40s.

The positive reception to Superman Classic encouraged Pratt to create a follow-up, Superman Classic: Bizarro. As with the prior Classic short, Bizarro starts with Lois scrutinizing Clark over a matter related to his alter ego, Superman, when a new villain threatens Metropolis. John and Jennifer Newton returned to voice the characters. John also took on the role of Bizarro by reading his lines backward; Pratt then digitally reversed the lines to make Bizarro’s voice, like his appearance, a twisted version of Superman’s. Bizarro arrived online last July, also to much critical acclaim.



Pratt is now hard at work on animating Flash Gordon Classic, hoping to adapt the magic of the character’s earliest adventures into a captivating short film for modern audiences. With Animated Views, he gives a sneak peek at what fans should expect from the traditionally animated sci-fi project, including the first look at artwork and character designs. Plus, Pratt talks about storyboarding for DisneyToon Studios’ upcoming Planes and hints at more Superman Classic stories, including a teamup with a certain Dark Knight.
