Sita sings the blues icons  
"Sita sings the blues" is an amazing phenomena, on many levels : it is a gorgeous animated musical film, it created new directions for computer graphics and it is a story that makes you think. I can ramble for ages as to why does it always seems to be that the best things in life are free ("Sita sings the blues" is a free-download animation), especially why the best works of art never happen to make too much money for their
creators. May be there is something about art that doesn't work well together with the money-making aspect of it.

Anyways, I rarely say this because everyone's tastes are different and something I like may not necessarily suit others, but I think "Sita sings the blues" is an exception :

EVERYONE MUST WATCH "SITA SINGS THE BLUES". IT IS AWESOME. Thank you so much for the rec, [info]baleanoptera

I need to rewatch this so I can post on it.
Alexandra Leaving: Star Wars - Leia smiling[info]alexandral on June 22nd, 2009 10:45 pm (UTC)
YAY! This would be great! I have watched i two times (at least) because I was looking for the best screencaps

Glorious! :D
Alexandra Leaving: BSG -One True Skank[info]alexandral on June 22nd, 2009 10:46 pm (UTC)
Thank you!! ** cough cough ** Have you seen this?
Dianora of Tarth[info]dianora77 on June 22nd, 2009 10:57 pm (UTC)
Yes, I have. Wasn't perhaps as blown away as some of you, but I found it a very charming little movie. I love the "Who's that knocking at my door" song when Sita sings the "who" part and her lips wobble. :D
Alexandra Leaving: Polka will never die[info]alexandral on June 22nd, 2009 11:01 pm (UTC)
This movie appeals to my programmer part. I LOVE the way everythignis made, the rocking motion, the endless circle which encompasses everything.

I have to admit that I never have heard of it. Downloading as I write this.

The strong colours remind me of another animated movie, Azur and Azmar (which I haven't seen either), as well other animated movies of that director.
Alexandra Leaving: The last of the Mohicans - blood is call[info]alexandral on June 22nd, 2009 10:49 pm (UTC)
I was recommended this by [info]baleanoptera. I am so curious to know what would you think of it..

Oh, thank you so much for the rec- I have never heard of these.

"Sita" had some very nifty and original animation techniques - I am (again) curious as to what would you think of it.
Gunther[info]trailer_spot on June 23rd, 2009 11:25 am (UTC)
My backlog of things I want to watch is pretty big right now. But I promise to let you know once I've watched it. :)

As I've mentioned I haven't seen Azur & Azmar, but I'm sure you'll be able to find some info to decide if you might like the movie or not. Here's a trailer if you like to.

Your icons are so pretty. I'm going to grab the sun icon.

I'm watching "Sita Sings the Blues" right now. It's really good. :)
Alexandra Leaving: Equilibrium - Preston badass[info]alexandral on June 22nd, 2009 10:51 pm (UTC)
Thank you so much!!!!!

I loved the nifty animation techniques that were used in the film - the tiny detail of everything and the rocking motion.

Wow, I'm gonna have to go find this now, huh?

Yes! Go forth and watch! I order you. ;) But seriously - it is gorgeous, and the shadow puppets are glorious.

way up north[info]baleanoptera on June 22nd, 2009 07:17 pm (UTC)
YAY! You have no idea how happy this makes me. I'm definitely grabbing the shadow puppet icon, as well as a few of the Sita ones.
Alexandra Leaving: Sita sings the blues[info]alexandral on June 22nd, 2009 10:56 pm (UTC)
I am so glad you like!

I LOVE shadow puppets, although my favourite Sita animation style was the very detailed intricate one used in the beginning and the end sequences .
way up north: Sita Having it covered[info]baleanoptera on June 22nd, 2009 11:01 pm (UTC)
That was my favourite animation style as well, though I really liked how all the different styles helped organise the film.
Alexandra Leaving: Sita sings the blues - Earth[info]alexandral on June 23rd, 2009 03:25 pm (UTC)
I loved this too. I also though that the rocking motion was pretty innovative and gave the film a very soothing feeling.
Tarja: Fifth Element[info]vierran45 on June 22nd, 2009 08:38 pm (UTC)
Downloading this right now. It looks very interesting! I'll probably come back for icons after seeing it :).

These icons are adorable! I really need to watch this sometime. :)

I have just found your journal. What a wealth of images, and so beautifully done. You have a splendid eye. From this post I've taken #2, 24, 28 and 33, and will credit when used. The images in this film are amazing, and I'm going to order this film through Amazon, as I don't think it will make it to the popular theaters here, and I live far from any city large enough to have an art theater.

Since I've just found you, I suspect I'm going to be taking many more icons from different posts, so I'm afraid you'll be bombarded with comments from me over the next few days. Please don't feel obliged to reply to them all.

Thank you for these wonderful images.

You are very welcome in this journal!!!!!!!
