Action Analysis – March 3, 1937

- As we all know, Don Graham conducted night classes at the Disney Studio between 1936 and 1938. They usually revolved around a particular theme and used clips from appropriate movies, whether Chaplin or Disney’s own shorts.

In this particular Action Analysis lesson, te use of secondary motions was discussed, and clips from “Country Cousin” were screened and commented on. The participants include Izzy Klein, Joe Magro, Don Williams, Jack Hannah Dave Hilberman, Bill Tytla, Shamus Culhane, Chuck Couch, Dick Anthony and Don Strickland.

Many of the lecture series were posted on Hans Perk‘s enormously helpful site, A Film LA. As a matter of fact, you can find the previous lecture on “Primary Actions” here.

    These were our animation generation’s version of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
