THRIVE Review and Giveaway!
As Hannah explained a couple weeks ago, Shelf Reliance has changed their business model and are now working through individual consultants. You should know that how Shelf Reliance is set up, it's always cheaper to order through a consultant than through the official website. The consultants have access to special deals and discounts. We're lucky enough to have another Shelf Reliance consultant, Fran, hosting today's review and giveaway.
Fran sent me some of Shelf Reliance's freeze dried food line "THRIVE" to give a test run. She gave me the Taco TVP, which she says is her family's favorite.
This was my first experience with TVP (textured vegetable protein), and I have to admit, I was a little nervous.
Fran told me to put the Taco TVP in a pot, add some freeze dried onions, and bell peppers and fill it up with water according to the package directions.
You bring it to a boil, then let it simmer on the stovetop for a little while.
Fran also gave me a package of macaroons to try.
Equally easy, I added water, let it sit for a minute, and then scooped it onto and cookie sheet and baked them until they turned golden brown on the tops.
My verdict?
The Taco TVP tasted really good. Surprisingly good. It reminds me of tacos that you can get at Taco Bell (Mountain Man's favorite). Everyone at the table (my kids, Mountain Man, and a few other guests) liked it enough to have seconds. My meat picky daughter (she only likes beef) took one bite and exclaimed "it tastes just like hamburger!" and ate it all up.
Would I eat it again? Yes, I think so. It tasted good, but more important, it was SO fast and easy. One pot meal--made in less than 20 minutes. I would have loved to have had this on hand during my 1st trimester, when it was so hard to cook anything because I was so sick. This would also be great to have for those really busy days when you walk in the door at 5pm and need to have dinner on the table by 5:30.
Onto the macaroons: these were also delicious and believe it or not, tasted JUST like the real thing, and incredibly easy. If I had my druthers, I would have dipped half of them in melted chocolate, but the general consensus at the table was they were delicious, and they were gobbled up instantly.
Overall this is my food storage-y opinion. I don't think you should have a food storage based completely off of freeze dried food unless you have an unlimited supply of water AND you eat it on a regular basis so your family is used to it and is comfortable with it. The best food storage is what you regularly eat!
On the other hand, I think THRIVE offers so many great options as additions to your home food storage. Special things like dried cheese, sour cream, eggs, that you wouldn't be able to have otherwise. Am I going to start adding some freeze dried foods to my food supply? Yes, definitely as part of my rotating 3 month supply, because I can see myself actually using them to feed my family regular meals. On a side note, I am also going to stock up on powdered eggs...then I can eat cookie dough without being afraid of getting salmonella poisoning.
Thanks Fran for letting me try these foods! Check out Fran's store here
Fran is offering Safely Gathered In readers a mixed package of some of THRIVE's best sellers, valued at $50!
To be entered into the drawing, leave a comment and let us know what your favorite food (that you can't live without) is. Mine is cereal and milk. A very tricky food storage meal...since I don't love the taste of powdered milk. Guess I need a cow.
Giveaway will run until Sunday (May 29th) at midnight, Eastern. One comment per person please. Winner will be announced Monday.
Those of you who get this post via email need to come to the actual post on the website to leave a comment to be entered into the giveaway, email responses cannot be considered entries. Thanks!
***Disclaimer: Although I received the THRIVE samples for free, the opinions are my own.
Whew. That was a long post...is anyone still here?

Cheese! I love cheese, all kinds of cheese, Cheddar, Feta, Mozzarella... I could go on and on, and anything with cheese on it. My son has developed the same love, and so we can go through cheese pretty quickly, and not quite a food storage friendly item. I might need a cow too, and then learn how to make cheese.

Mine is cookies. That is why I do have powdered eggs and all the supplies on hand. It makes it very easy to bake them when I want. ;)

Can't live without? It's gotta be chocolate. Many varieties will work: M&M's, brownies, Ghirardelli, chocolate chips if nothing else is available. That's why I always have a stash of brownie mix handy. :)

Granola bars - the yummy, not-so-healthy, chocolate-covered kind, preferrably. :)
- May 26, 2011 at 1:57 PM

Mine would have to be anything with sugar! Brownies, cookies, cake...I love it all!
- May 26, 2011 at 1:59 PM
- C said...
As others have already said, chocolate, brownies in particular. I keep brownie mix and powdered eggs in my food storage, easy.
- May 26, 2011 at 2:05 PM
I'm a cheese girl! Adding cheese a plain dish can make it so much better. I love the idea of Thrive's freeze dried cheese and have some on backorder. To me, cheese is a comfort food!!

Chocolate, Chocolate!!

Hands down CHEESE!!! I used to get it in my stocking for Christmas. Sad to admit that. I'd be very hard pressed to go three months without cheese.
- May 26, 2011 at 2:45 PM
- Destiny said...
Definately cheese. I use it on everyting.

- Lynn said...
I cannot live without raw carrots. I generally keep 5-10 lbs of them in the fridge at all times, and eat them whole without peeling, just taking the tops off. I have only grown carrots with limited success, because you need really light soil, and i just don't have that. Organic carrots are very affordable at the store, so I'm just buying for now. I guess I'd better have some seeds as a backup just in case!

mine would be cheese and cookies but not together :)

Bread and cheese...not necessarily together but I NEED to have bread for toast and such and my whole household LOVES cheese!

I really love fruit! I've tried the Thrive strawberries, apples and blueberries and loved them!

Definitely cheese for me!! I love adding it to dinners :)

I drink a chocolate protein shake (with lots of ice and frozen bananas to make it smooth and creamy)every morning and I practically go through withdrawal if I don't have it. I have been known to drag my Vita-Mix from Oregon to Utah when visiting my daughter. I think it satisfies my sweet tooth and chocolate cravings first thing. :) I'm excited about the Thrive foods. I wasn't aware of them.
- May 26, 2011 at 3:04 PM
- Cecily said...
Homemade bread (or rolls or muffins or such). I always have to plan on eating a few pieces when a loaf comes out of the oven.
- May 26, 2011 at 3:18 PM
- Gretta said...
Wow, I can only choose one food I can't live without. I guess I would have to go with potatoes (as in french fries, chips, mashed, and baked). I'm a salty gal.
- May 26, 2011 at 3:21 PM
- Camille said...
I don't think I could live without pasta and sauce. YUM!
- May 26, 2011 at 3:29 PM
- Sariah said...
I would have to say fresh produce. I am also going to need a cow because I can't stand the flavor of powdered milk either. I have been wanting to try the freeze-dried stuff for a while now but cannot justify spending the money on it and then not liking it.
- May 26, 2011 at 3:47 PM
- Holly Hoopes said...
Can't live without rice. We've just made the change to wild rice from white and I am loving it. We eat it plain,fried,stir-fri or in our soups! So yummy!
- May 26, 2011 at 3:50 PM
- Fire said...
There are just to many. I love to eat. Dairy would probably be at the top of the list though.
- May 26, 2011 at 4:21 PM
- Julie said...
Fetuccini Alfredo! Love it. We have that at least once a week. MMMM!!!
- May 26, 2011 at 4:30 PM
- Amanda said...
I think the one thing that my family would have a very difficult time living without is dairy products. Milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream...we eat it with every meal, for snacks, basically all the time. I would love to try the Thrive stuff!
- May 26, 2011 at 4:30 PM
- Cindy said...
I love rice....and pasta. Almost any kind of either!
- May 26, 2011 at 4:56 PM
- Mrs. Pear said...
I have learned that it does not matter because my oldest daughter needs a high iron diet, so that became my must have - stuff high in iron that she will eat. Which means meatloaf, meatballs, and asian beef.
- May 26, 2011 at 4:59 PM
- Heidi said...
Good bread. And peanut butter. Preferably together. :)
- May 26, 2011 at 5:30 PM
- Cassi : ) said...
Ice cream - I'm even picky about the brand . . . I think I'm going to have to settle with storing chocolate. It's not ice cream, but I'm sure it will do! :)
- May 26, 2011 at 5:39 PM
- Super Pi said...
Cheese, Milk, Yogurt, and other Dairy goodness like Sour Cream and Cream Cheese.
- May 26, 2011 at 5:49 PM
- Lisa A said...
That's a tough question, what can I not live without. I tend to eat in cycles, so I might eat a lot of one thing for a month, but then not want it again for a year. I'm on a yogurt kick at the moment, can't get enough of it. Later in the summer it will most likely be chips and fresh salsa. We always have peanut butter, usually in several flavors, in stock. I'll go with that.

Fresh produce! Once I started eating vegan/whole foods in Jan. I've been trying to figure out how to best store the things that I'm eating if I couldn't go to Costco all of the time. We have a really short growing season so that complicates it too.
- May 26, 2011 at 6:32 PM
- Gaengy said...
Cheese and real milk...treats of any kind as well!
- May 26, 2011 at 7:53 PM
- Cindi said...
I have just started using Thrive. So far I am loving it. I made scrambled eggs with powedered eggs. With the usual seasonings I could tell no difference,I am usually picky on my eggs. I have bought several basics now and am ready to try the different freeze dried products.
- May 26, 2011 at 7:59 PM

Definitely chocolate!

Hm, it's hard to pick just one thing. I think bread is what I couldn't live without.

Honey and dark chocolate are "must have" pleasures. Milk, eggs, butter, flour for the multitude of foods that can be created from them.

I can't live without cookie dough. Oh and fresh spinach. Opposite ends of the spectrum huh? I know I'm weird.

To all the powdered milk haters...you MUST try THRIVE's Instant Milk. It's awesome! You would never know the difference from real milk.
- May 27, 2011 at 1:38 AM
I'd miss fresh fruit a lot.
I did a taste test in my ward -- Country Creme and Provident Pantry were the favorite powdered milks. They taste like 2%.

Fav food is "a yummy sauce". Thin or thick doesn't matter, as long as it's yummy ^_^

- Ellen said...
Can't live without? I'd have to say potatoes as well. Although it would be really nice to have all the lovely things that go with them, like cheese, butter and sour cream!
- May 27, 2011 at 3:26 AM
- Vicki in UT said...
I can't live without chocolate, but if I had to choose something a little healthier, it would be homemade bread.
- May 27, 2011 at 3:53 AM
You mean besides chocolate! :) I really crave potatoes and eggs if I haven't had them in a while. I would have a hard time living without all the fresh veggies and fruit that I currently have access to.
- May 27, 2011 at 6:57 AM
- Leann Slater said...
I couldn't live without boneless, skinless chicken breasts. They are so versatile in ways to cook them, and we eat them for dinner almost every night.
- May 27, 2011 at 7:09 AM
cereal and milk, my kids could live on that alone.And as an added bonus they love powdered milk!
- May 27, 2011 at 7:16 AM

Milk...definitely milk!

I can't live without eggs! Thanks

- Kim @ KimsKandyKreations said...
I am totally a milk and cereal girl. I could have it for breakfast and lunch everyday...in fact I have somedays! It's cheap, easy, filling, and yummy. Don't know how I'll deal without it in an emergency since I HATE powdered milk.

Real eggs are my "can't live without"! I am going to try the mineral oil bath and see how that works.
- May 27, 2011 at 9:24 AM
Cheese and crackers are my favorite. Salsa and chips are a close second.
- May 27, 2011 at 9:27 AM
I don't think I could live without fruits and vegetables. Even in their dried/freeze dried state, I'd be happy to have them.
- May 27, 2011 at 9:35 AM
- Darla said...
I think my absolute one staple in life is cheese. I know it sounds weird, but I have to have cheese on any dinner I make.
- May 27, 2011 at 10:12 AM
- Nancy Hill said...
I would love to try this. Souns wonderful and I'm sure I would dip my macaroons in chocolate too!
- May 27, 2011 at 10:13 AM

Chocolate is a must have for me.
- May 27, 2011 at 10:29 AM

I think it would be hard to live with out sour cream and eggs. Think of all the baked goods and casseroles you could you could make with food storage items!
- May 27, 2011 at 10:37 AM
- Dede said...
Gosh, it's hard to pick just one! But I'll say potatoes. I LOVE potatoes.

Although I am a vegetable and fruit girl, I have always enjoyed bread, eggs, and milk. I have noticed that if I don't have bread, eggs, or milk in the house, I feel like I am out of food. Crazy, huh! Water is my favorite drink!!!
- May 27, 2011 at 11:54 AM
- Susan said...
I LOVE CHEESE!! I use cheese in so many dishes that I make. I cannot imagine being out of cheese in an emergency situation. Freeze dried cheese is something I would love to have in my food storage.
- May 27, 2011 at 12:08 PM
- Patty Cake said...
I have to have spices. Alot of food storage is bland and I hear from alot of people in my ward that that is the reason they don't store food. I love cheese, but it has to be the real thing. I'll split a milk cow with someone.
- May 27, 2011 at 12:36 PM
- nfmgirl said...
I'm not sure what food I feel I couldn't live without. Seasoning is more important to me. With the right seasonings, most things can taste tolerable. Just salt, pepper and garlic powder can make a world of difference to just about anything, from veggies to simple rice!
- May 27, 2011 at 12:44 PM
- Angela said...
I can't live without the sweet stuff, chocolate and ingredients to make cookies and cake. PS. I have had good luck with powdered eggs in all my baking.
- May 27, 2011 at 2:37 PM

I tasted the Thrive freez dried milk I was REALLY surpised how how good it was! I could not live with out cookies and milk!! It tastes nothing like powdered milk!

Salsa! We're out right now which is probably why it came to mind so quickly...

Gotta have chocolate and chicken. Not necessarily together just love them both. Good to have chocolate in your storage!

Hello Chocolate! That is what I CANNOT live without. As for what the rest of the family cannot live without, it's eggs and cheese. YUM!

What ever I don't have on hand is what I can't live without. Cheese,chocolate, milk, bread, cereal, green beans,...you name it.

mozzarella cheese and tea for me. I have to have tea in the morning and I love cheese with veggies!

Thanks for taking the time to do this interview during your fight prep. Before we talk about specifics, can you tell us a little about your background in martial arts and MMA?
AG: I started to train MMA in August 2006 and I came from boxing.
Have you competed in other sports or martial arts?
AG: Yes in amateur boxing.
What would you say are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
AG: My greatest strength is my striking and my biggest weakness is wrestling I would say.
Only one of your fights has ever gone the distance, is that something you're proud of?
AG: No, I would love to go the distance; I think it would be good experience for me.
How is your preparation going?
AG: My preparation is going really well; I'm in the best shape I have ever been.
What sort of things do you feel you need to be aware of against Diabaté?
AG: Keep my chin down and my guard up.
What do you think is your greatest advantage or disadvantage against Cyrille?
AG: My biggest advantages are my aggression and my intensity. We will just have to see if I have any disadvantages.
You're coming off a UFC loss; does that add to the pressure going into the fight?
AG: I don't feel any pressure going into this fight; I will go all in and do my best to win.
How is the UFC different to fighting in other events?
AG: It is completely different. UFC are professionals.
Since you arrived at the UFC, has it changed anything in your training or in life in general?
AG: Yes. I see my training as a job now. Everything that I do is designed to make my training better.
How does it feel fighting another European on a major UFC fight card?
AG: It feels very good. I can't wait to get in there.
You represent a younger generation of European MMA fighters. What do you think is different for young fighters like you than for guys like Cyrille, who started before the sport was well established?
AG: We are much better at adapting to the fight than the older generation.
When you started fighting, did you expect to be fighting in the UFC at only 23-years old?
AG: I started fighting in 2006 and no I didn't. (Smiles)
Do you think that MMA in Europe has caught up with fighters from the US, Brazil and other countries?
Yes, absolutely!
Q&A with Alexander Gustafsson
With two UFC fights already under his belt, Alexander Gustafsson will look to deliver a career-defining performance in London on Saturday when he takes on veteran striker Cyrille Diabate. UFC.com's Darragh Creamer recently had the opportunity to talk to "The Mauler".
Sunday, July 22

Huskers Finish Second on NWCA Academic List
The Nebraska wrestling team earned runner-up academic accolades from the National Wrestling Coaches Association when the NWCA announced its annual Division I All-Academic Top 30 Teams for the 2012-13 season on Monday.
The Huskers compiled a 3.32 grade-point average, finishing behind Harvard's 3.42 GPA. Last season NU achieved the top honor by edging the Crimson. Stanford, Indiana and Virginia round out this year's top five.
The team GPA was determined using a system that includes 12 student-athletes from each program. A total of 10 of these came from the wrestlers that were entries in the NCAA tournament conference qualifier. If teams had less than 10 entries for their respective qualifier, they were allowed to fill those spots with wrestlers that competed in at least one varsity dual during the season.
On Saturday, senior Josh Ihnen was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District At-Large Team for his work in the classroom during the 2012-13 school year. Ihnen carried a 3.87 GPA in business and garnered academic all-conference honors on four occasions.
On the mat, Nebraska finished 13th at the NCAA Championships with 38 points after compiling an 11-6 dual record. Sophomore Robert Kokesh (174) led the Huskers, finishing third, while James Green (157) garnered All-America honors for the second consecutive season with a seventh-place finish.

Here's a real lion. Someone actually looked at one once. At one time artists looked at real things then came up with what they thought the real things looked like to them.
Here's Sullivant's caricature of a real lion. Very observant of what cats actually look like but cartooned with an original opinion of which parts of a lion's features were interesting.
Shere Khan is a copy of a copy of a copy of a Sullivant cat, getting less fun but still having good structure. Technically, the drawing is great, but it's not very fun and nothing new has been added to the - by now stereotype of a Disney (Sullivant) cat. I don't think anyone will ever do better technical animation of this particular design of a cat, but lots still try. Why?
Now here it is on top of a human body from the movie that started the "furries" movement: Robin Hood.
Here's what happens when you steal someone else's copy of a copy of a copy of a design superficially but don't draw construction well and can't commit to the design because you live in bland times.
A Nelvana-ized Saturday Morning cartoon version of Milt Kahl's version of Sullivant's version of a lion.
No fun and no visual interest and no original idea or new take on an old idea! Just a blander version of what was once creative. Even baby Lambert has been severely toned down and turned into a Saturday Morning cartoon character.
Here's what happens when you don't enslave your view of the world to someone else's and you make up your own designs based on your own observations and hard won skills. ...being creative and drawing well at the same time.
When people talk about the "Cal Arts" style, they are talking about films like The Lion King which looks like it was done by artists who think the world looks like decadent 60s and 70s Disney and Bluth films- as if that very narrow style has already figured out the way all animation design and movement should look forever. Same old recycled designs and movements but getting further away from what originally made it work and further away from life and humanity and individual observation.
I'll do the horse next. You can follow this tradition with many Disney characters that get reused by later generations who think that every character has already been discovered so "why bother creating anything new ever again?"

I Love Canada!
First, I cut some fries using my new mandolin's julienne blade. I sprayed the fries with non-stick cooking spray and baked them in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes (I really didn't time it ... just kept sampling until they were done).
Then, I whipped up a quick gravy using a cup of water, a couple tablespoons of flour, and an un-chicken boullion cube. For the cheese curds, I mashed about a fifth of a tofu block with some vegan mayonnaise and a teensy pinch of sugar.
Wow! Wikipedia tells me poutine is a Canadian comfort food, often served at fast food joints there (even McDonald's and Burger King). And after one bite, I believe in poutine's comforting powers. This plate was a little too much food for me, but I had an extremely hard time stopping when I was full. I could eat this stuff everyday. Seriously. Thank you, Canada!

OMG! That sounds and looks so good. I absolutely have to try it!
- February 11, 2009 at 10:09 AM
Yes, anything smothered in gravy is awesome. And for the pizza I have been mixing FYH with veganrella and using the broiler. It seems to melt it better and make it dark.

- Ricki said...
So glad you like it! (I was practically raised on the stuff). I just had poutine last week, actually, but yours is the first other vegan version I've seen on blogs, though--must have missed those other ones!
- February 11, 2009 at 11:06 AM
- T said...
Poutine has always scared me on trips to canada- "curds?" But this looks awesome.
I have to say though, I would probably demolish those fries with some ketchup before I got to the gravy...
- February 11, 2009 at 11:38 AM
- Jen aka Jewbacca said...
yep, i had some real poutine a year or so ago in the pregan days. i'm so happy that us vegans have the superpowers to veganize just about anything.

sweet jeebus, Bianca! that is some serious canadian deliciousness go'n on right there! i'm with you - a fan of anything loaded with gobs of gravy! totally going to have to make this! oooooooooh, yay!
- February 11, 2009 at 3:38 PM
- Cyn said...
Yum! I love me some vegan poutine - using tofu for the cheese curds is genius! I had some in Portland that used delicious mushroom gravy and FYH cheese, and it was super tasty, but I think tofu (or even tofu ricotta!) would make an even better version.
Now someone has to make a vegan version of those fries with cheese and ranch dressing and bacon.

you had me at fries!!

The fries and gravy is supposedly a popular Jersey diner feature also, but I have never had them. Your version looks way good though!

Sounds like some good Canadian comfort food to me! Your fries look perfect. I want a mandolin!
- February 11, 2009 at 7:08 PM
- Mike K said...
My kind of food! Good job on veganizing something that mostly consists of gravy and cheese curds. Also, it's nice to see an example of Canadian cuisine - I grew up not far from the border, so a lot of their food feels pretty familiar.
- February 11, 2009 at 9:41 PM
- River said...
I'm in love with your super skinny and long fries! They are supermodel-fries! :P
Seriously, the whole dish looks ridiculously delicious!

This looks awesome - I love anything with gravy. Add potatoes and tofu ricotta - heaven on earth!

There's a belgian frites cart here in Ptown that serves vegan poutin... I haven't tried it but I heard they use cubes of FYH for it. Sounds (and looks, haha!) like awesome drunk food!

Disney Principles 6a - Staging 2 - examples to compare and contrast
38 comments:
- HemlockMan said...
Well...in the Disney one, there's nothing going on. It's static. There's really no story there, at all. That picture only tells as many words as the text that accompanies it.
The WB one, however, shows tons going on. Fred is a lazy bastard. Wilma and Betty are hard-working but nigh-brainless babes. Barney is doing all of the heavy lifting and he ain't too damned happy about it. Fred is just sitting there waiting while the frails cook up the steaks and Barney does all the work. Fred needs his ass kicked.
Well...at least that's the way I see things.
- Adam T said...
Here's what I noticed.
Bambi and Thumper are in the same plane. The elements in the composition are mostly horizontal. The Flintstones illustration is composed mostly vertically. With the characters in three different planes.
The Flintstones illustration implies a definite story too, where the Bambi one doesn't. I want to know more about what's going on in The Flintstones world if all I have to go on is each drawing.
The Bambi drawing has clear separation between the characters and the background. The green of the trees surround Bambi but the white of the snow still provides a buffer of negative space.
Also I noticed it's hard to tell if Barney is looking at Fred or the viewer. I guess that's a problem with all characters who have eyes that are just pupils.

Is it a matter of depth and/or importance?
With the Bambi one there's only one idea going on, the two characters looking at each other, while with the Flintstones one you notice Fred relaxing first, then you see his friends in the background working hard while he ignores them.
(Sorry if I'm way off..I'm new to this but very keen to learn..)

the hierarchy is more complex in the second one.
In the first picture the main (important) points are clear: Bambi and Thumper are first and the entirety of the backgrounds are second. the theory of staging here is like a play.
whereas on the bottom the hierarchy starts with fred and moves back into space. the background is still the least important but from there the remaining characters are not all equally important (and could be considered somewhat as more as background set pieces).

I'd say that the disney image is telling part of story, a single event, while the flintstones is a jumbled mess of different plot ideas, and could summarize the entire book it's in in one image.
In the disney, bambi is clearly outlined by the trees, and with the contrast of snow & evergreens, with the complexity, our eyes are drawn toward that first. We see his excited expression, then the outlines of the snow slope guide our eyes down onto the ice, where there's a good contrast between thumper and the ice, with another solid expression implying an activity out on the ice (either thumping or skating, it's not clear). This would work good for animation, as it's leading from one thing to the other.
The flintstones is a giant mess, and there isn't a clear center of action. There's lazy ass fred; up front, large, with a low contrast, so he somewhat muted, but then there's the action in the back; smaller, but more difference, with higher contrast, pulling your eyes there first (mostly from Wilma's dress). Fairly weak poses, none of the scenery enhances any of the individuals. This would work good as a poster, where you have plenty of time to understand what's going on, but would never work good in a animation.

Purely artistic vs. functional?
- Sodapop said...
The plane of the hill Bambi's standing on flows down and around the pond to pull the eye towards Thumper. It shows enough of the scene to tell you what the setting is without giving you too much information. As a piece of artwork it uses those elements appropriately. The way Thumper's standing might tell someone that he's inviting Bambi down onto the pond.
The tree and Fred in the hammock frame the action in the background. If you ask me, there's too much going on. It looks crowded to fit in that space, like the Pocohantus (feck speeliing) scene you showed us yesterday, except with a frame. And there's nothing on the top of the frame to balance. (Goddamn art class education, right?)
Wilma's on the wrong plane it looks like. The oven is turned the wrong way or something. And I can't tell what Barney's looking at. He may be looking at the viewer, or he may be looking at Fred.
...I feel like I'm getting nowhere. ]:<
- craigp said...
the top pages (bambi) are more of a design.
the flintstones picture is more of a scene.
- JohnK said...
Wow. you guys are smarter than me. You're noticing things I missed.
I'll give my breakdown tomorrow and some more examples to dissect.
The Flintstones is a scene. Bambi is a snapshot.
In the Flintstones page, everything is framed to make the scene readable. The story is told within the picture. Obviously Fred is the most prominent figure, but everything else is about equal (Barn being a smidge more noticeable than Wilma & Betty, due to his size and silhouette.)
Disney page is just an illustration of a snippet of the imagery in the text.
You have to READ the Disney book BEFORE you look at the pictures, otherwise you might use your imagination!
- Gregg said...
One makes you look from the outside in.
The other from inside to out.
- Frank Macchia said...
i actually like them both...but for different reasons.
in the bambi one, theres more room for your eye to move. the chacters are framed nicely (bambi by the trees and thumper by the ice). bambi's eye direction and the downward slope lead my eye down the page to thumper. However, its very 2 dimensional, everything feels lke it's on one plane.
The Flintstones one seems a little crowded to me BUT that's made up for by spreadig the characters out on various planes of depth (Fred in foreground, betty and wilma in mid, and Barney in the back.) Even though it seem's a little cluttered, my eye is still led around the page based on depth...although, there's no over lap..which kinda flattens it a bit
I'm not sure which i prefer. Both seem to have their strengths and weaknesses.
- Harley said...
Looks like Fred just took a massive dump and Thumper's just barely squeezing one out.
- Shingles said...
Hm.. The Disney picture is reliant on the text. I can tell that the writer (writers?) of the book this picture appears in meant the image to be reliant on the text, and not the other way around.
The first image is static in nature. Very cold (and in my opinion, unappealing) and at the same time, flowing. Like Sodapop said earlier, the composition of the picture pulls the eye around the image, ultimately landing on Thumper, but I still have no idea what's going on with the two characters without reading the text that goes with it.
The Flinstones picture, however, doesn't really need the text that goes along with it. You can derive the basis of the story just by looking around the image. Fred is relaxing, Barney wishes he were doing the same (apparently,) Betty and Wilma are doing the typical housewife chores, for instance, cooking. The image is warm and inviting, depictive of what exactly is meant to be portrayed, and has an appealing composition. The latter image can be summed up by calling it "Russian," meaning "self-reliant in its own way"
My former art school professors would prefer the former image over the latter, and for many reasons. That's probably why I dropped out of that school.
Artists like the first one. Cartoonists like the second one.
Both are beautiful, first of all.
The Bambi one stages everything very clearly, it looks great and it obviously gets the point across. It's also very blatant in it's staging. It's an in-your-face design. The whole picture is a figure eight, all the curves compliment each other, and the white spaces around the characters make them stand out and read perfectly. It's very mathematical. Bambi and Thumper each draw attention to one another.
The Flinstones picture also reads clearly, and you can tell exactly what's going on. You read the picture from front to back. 1. Fred is a lazy slob, so 2. Wilma and Betty are doing all the cooking, and 3. Barney is bringing home a box, and has no idea what's going on.
The Bambi picture is obvious at first glance, but there is no story. It's just a nice picture. As for the Flintstones, it's obvious that Fred is taking a nap, then the more you look, the rest of the story unfurls.
I have no idea if that's what you're driving at, those are just my observations. Personally, I like the Bambi one more, but that's just my preference.

- Christine Gerardi said...
In the first one nothing specific is happening. It's just Bambi and Thumper. In the second one, three clear actions are present. Fred taking a nap, the girls are cooking, and Barney is carrying a thing. It has hierarchy.
- NateBear said...
The Bambi illustration is as clear as can be. BaM!: Rabbit.. BAM! Deer! The background is completely designed to focus on the subject. The animals don't have to be neon or high contrast to stand out. The background is very simply colored with subdued tones that dont' everpower the figures, but still look rich and beautiful on their own. This is where good color sense becomes useful. They have lots of breathing room from the background details.
Th Flintstones one isn't the worst but there is no real composition. Nothing is framed, they're merely not interfering directly with each other. I guess in a failed attempt to stage the characters nothing overlaps. However due to lack of breathing and the patchy colored background the whole image reads as scrambled and flat. The background is only slightly different in tone and contrast from the characters and on top of that has lots of different color zones that don't read os cohesively as the Bambi picture.
In theory Fred and the try would be a nice framing device but instead of wrapping around the background figures he is just in front of them as if they were to pictures collgaged together. Betty almost looks like she's jutting out of Fred's elbow, and Barney looks as if her were just crammed into teh corner about Fred's head. Technically the whole thing is functional and everything is drawn and colored in a non-optically-offensive way, but is just lacks the elegance of the Bambi piece.
- Niki said...
the way I see I got only a clue that Thumper is asking Bambi to ice skate, though I didn't read it. Bambi's framed by the trees, and Thumper by the snow. Thumper's head is cut off by that line behind it.
After I read it, I realize the part they painted is late in the story.
Fred, on the other hand is the biggest thing on the page so he's the subject. Everyone is preparing for a bar-b-q, while Fred just lazes about. Fred is framed by the trees and everyone else accept Betty. Her feet seem to interfere with Fred's space, although this puts her in the same area as Wilma. I like this one better, because I'm a color whore.
I think we should learn more on this before everyone can get it right.
- Brendan M said...
While the Bambi one is certainly a very beautiful drawing, it's not telling much of a story other than "check out these two animals, they're staring and smiling at each other. One has a foot up"
The Flintstones drawing, while it has it's flaws (if you really want to over-analyze it) is much better at storytelling, and brings your eye into it more than the Bambi one does. How long do you want to look at a bunch of snow and arbitrary green pine?
On the other hand, I'm sensing real depth by the markings of the tree bark by Fred, and the flowers placed under the hammock. The sense of depth gets a little bit wacky in some parts of it, though, as we fade back into the picture some of it remains just as detailed as the front, but that's OK because at least SOMETHING interesting is going on, and there's SOME sense of depth.
Also, at least in the Flintstones one they all have different facial expressions relating to their poses, which are also different, unlike the Bambi still. You can sense a really dopey feeling from Barney's face, despite blank eyeballs.
Also, Bambi might be pretty, but the color scheme to the Flintstones drawing is great. It jumps out at you but not too much. It's framed very well. It looks like a decent amount of time was spent thinking about the negative space and where to place the characters.
- Hans Flagon said...
What bothers me about the Flintstones picture is that the lawn needs cutting. The lawn was never in that shape in the cartoons. The flowers under the hammock seem superfluous to the story, and I bet they are.
Disneys Horizontal pan seems to travel further and the poses suggest Thumper is suggesting the ice to Bambi.
You would never see the Flintstone image as a set up for a Flintstone episode, but perhaps that is the point on having a story book. Barney is wondering why he is carrying a wrapped gift when the girls seem to be cooking a steak for Fred.
Both are pregnant with possible story points. The Disney scene could work as a greeting card.
You could see the Disney scene as two separate , even unrelated, illustrations, that just happen to be connected. Because of this The time compression in the story points seems drawn out in comparison to the Flintstones scene, and -might make you think more of the characters interior motives.
There is a danger of the Flintstones scene being read as a Dream of Freds. So it is more ambiguous, possibly more confusing. It is not drawing out a single moment as much as loading it up with circumstatial possibilities, which can bode well and ill for a story. The colors threaten to clash more than buffer the negative space.
Which would be more appealing to a certain age group? Which would appeal to younger kids?
One of the reasons I think Manga has taken off in the US culture, is, they are like puzzles, there is so much going on that the kids seek them out AS A CHALLENGE (while at the same time, there may be nothing going on at all, but their plots can be damn convoluted.)
At a certain age, kids love convolution, they want to ADD details to a story, and carry it onto tangents and dead ends that actually are counter to the main story. They prefer "Destroy All Monsters" to "Godzilla", or "Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein", to "Frankenstein". They would consider Bambi the "baby story" at this age, and get into the complications of The Flintsones and Rubbles everyday interactions.
- The Butcher said...
The staging in the Bambi page is clear, but nothing much is going on yet. Like it's about to establish a premise, but hasn't done it yet.
The Flinstones page is a bit more crowded, but not hard to read. It's already established what's going on in the scene and isn't just leading up to it.
Every bit of the Flinstones page is filled with color and objects with text on the bottom, while the Bambi page has artwork framing up a big chunk of white space filled with text, making it a little more showy.
The Flintstones page tells you more about the characters from their faces and what they're literally doing in the page. The Bambi page is basically two cutesy-pie characters gazing into eachother's big, glossy eyeballs. It doesn't really tell you anything even though it is artistic.
I would have to say the main difference is the Bambi page focuses purely on art, while the Flintstone page is more functional in telling the audience what is going on, both storywise, and with the characters.
- crystalrbogle said...
...At first glance, the Bambi scene told me the fawn's about to join the bunny on the ice, and the Flintstones scene--not sure what the hell is going on in that one, I'd have to stare at it for longer than 2 seconds and think about it.
...So does that mean your point is that-- the staging in the Bambi scene makes the point of the scene crystal clear and the Flintstones scene is unclear? Please lemme know if I got it right. ...That's what I got out of the two pictures...
- SMIT SHAH said...
I think, both the compositions have heirarchy.
Bambi stands on a higher ground than Thumper and their eye contact makes a definite composition that stays within the image. Its sort of a closed composition.
The one with Fred also has heirachy in a foreground-background kind of language.
However unlike Flintstone layout the colours in the Bambi layout make a contrasting difference between the characters and the background.
- Drawn said...
Much better and more competent contrast handling in the Bambi picture. The stuff leaps off the page.
Background is in blues and blue-greens, characters are in warm hues. A cliché, but it works.
Light against dark (snow on branches), dark against light (branches against white/blue background), curves against spikyness (curves of snow vs branches), small curves against large curves (overall branch form against larger character forms). Precise, realistic ice crystals on the snow on the trees and generally detailed handling of snow on branches vs impressionistic low-contrast sweep on the ground. Overlap of snow on Bambi's hind leg creates depth (but the other hind leg is badly handled, talk about unintentionally sexual children's books!). ...Dark part of branches frame Bambi. Surprising use of pure white on edges of snow on branches for added contrast.
Small trees at left balance composition, creating an open space for Thumper and an overall triangular shape. Again, a cliché that works.
But: Superfluous curvelet of ice cuts Thumper's throat and creates mess with jutting hind leg. And the general perspective seems a bit off there.
Fred: Excellent, strong drawing, but a really badly planned color scheme. All colors appear somewhat similar. Oven blends into ground and into green tree shadow framing device at right. Weirdly handled fire seems to float in the air, Barney walks on Fred's hair (a subdued hair highlight would have been useful here). Good attempt at structural contrast with the deftly handled flowers in the FG, but green-against-green was a bad idea. Why the flourish on the grass blade, is it important? Black eyes of BG figures look weird. Promising handling of tree trunk at left.
- ArtF said...
why does Fred have a Betty coming out of his elbow?
The most obvious difference Is how they guide the viewer's eye.
The bambi scene guides the eye in a rough "U" shape starting from the left and ending at the right. You read the paragraph then see the small rabbit, who's discovered Bambi. Then lastly your eye is drawn to the right where bambi is framed by the flora, emphasising his importance as the main character and the moment of discovery.
With the flintstones scene, your eye is guided straight through the scene. You start at Fred who, as the main character, dominates the picture plane. Then your eye is guided on to Wilma and Betty, then to Barney who is in the foreground.
They're both very standard compositions, infact, What you see in the Bambi composition is exactly what Hokusai does with the composition of his famous painting "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" except it's been reversed.
Looking at Hokusai's famous painting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa)
You can see that it starts from the right, and draws the eye is a rough "U" shape to the left. This emphasises the huge wave building, about to crash on the boaters below.
It's been reversed because traditionally westerners start looking from the left of a page, where as the Japanese start looking at a page from the right. This is because the writing systems are different and traditionally start at different ends of a page. That's also why Japanese books are "backwards", because the Japanese eye starts from the right.
- J Hobart B said...
Aesthetically, I like the Bambi one more than the Flintstones one, because it's clearer, more readable, and the artist allows it to sprawl across two pages.
The Flintstones one is cluttered and you have to work harder to figure out what's going on. It looks like it was a struggle to fit everything on one page.
That said, the Flintstones page rewards you more for looking at it. Even though it's not as instantly readable, there is a story in the picture. The Bambi image is staged better, but there's nothing going on that earns that clear staging.
- Vit said...
Sorry for an off-topic but why do you always compare with Disney?
What do you think about studio Ghibli? They have made the whole spectrum from realistic "Grave of the Fireflies" to caricature "My Neighbors the Yamadas". And this are modern 2D films.
- Ted said...
The image is integrated with the text layout in the Bambi example; the image would only work with certain amounts and placement of text. The Flintstone image is more or less independent of the text layout.
- Bitter Animator said...
Well everything has been said already, I guess. Yeah, the Bambi one doesn't really tell a story in itself but I think it's a lovely image. It's simple, one character leads to another and I just think there is something actually rather beautiful in the characters and colours. As for not telling a story itself, it looks like it is designed to compliment a text story. It's not a comic book as far as I can tell. So I'm not convinced that matters massively.
The Flintstones image has some fun to it and does tell much more of a story. Fred's character in particular comes across really well. But, man, that's one messy composition. Barney looks pasted over the top, very isolated. Betty's feet being cut neatly off is awful and it's difficult to settle anywhere. In general, I just don't like it which probably says a lot as I would have been far more likely to prefer the Flintstones simply based on my character preferences.
- trevor thompson said...
The most obvious thing is that you have to read the text in Bambi's story to understand what's going on. Why are they on the lake? What's going on? They are happy, but why? Who are these characters, they look empty.
But the picture of the Flintstones doesn't need a single word. You not only know the situation, but also the characters. You know one is blissfully lazy, the others diligent and one of them is a bemused heavy lifter.
Plus, the poses in the Disney book have been done before, and the Flintstones one has poses that are exclusive to the story at hand.
There's a lot more to break down, and I'll have a closer look at lunch.

- Deniseletter said...
Flintstones: are in 3 different planes as a "Z".They rely in attitudes and expressions to enhance the mood.Hurt my eyes because they have too much reddish colors.
Bambi: The dinamic background has organic movement in its design contrasting with the 2 characters that are about to begin an action.And is interesting the fartest trees are as if were behind the text.More relaxing degradation of colors
Is only what I think:In this particular case Bambi scene is more appealing.
Almost a couple tangents in that Flintstones pic. I like the technique in both examples.
Also, flat plane vs. multiple planes, three dimensions, etc...
- tobor68 said...
lotsa good stuff in these comments.
i have to go with bitter animator here.
the bambi comp is a nice, swirling, figure eight design that keeps your eyes moving over the scene. the BG and FG are there to provide the setting and don't interfere with the characters.
the flintstones, though nicely rendered, needs more separation of FG, mid ground, and BG. barney is too big, bettie's feet cutoff at the ankle, and the trees, though helping frame the comp also create a little bit of claustrophobia, or that could just be me.
looking forward to tomorrow's post!
- Brendan M said...
Well, one more thing..
I have yet to read the text in the Bambi picture, but I DO understand that one character is inviting the other character to ice skate.
Does that mean it's good staging? No, I don't think so. Put one character on the ice, looking at another character and make his face look like so:
and put another outside of the ice, literally ANYWHERE on the picture plane, and make his face also:
and You'd get the impression the character on the ice wants the other character join them. I don't think it has anything to do with staging or poses
- MLP said...
Thanks to everyone who posted his or her analysis of JohnK's challenge! I *very* much enjoyed reading them all; comparing them to John's own subsequent post taught me a *lot*. Well done!
- MistahB said...
Well, from what I can see, The Bambi one looks more planned out, it has a pleasing composition that is very clear and helps the story.
I can tell that they planned it out with simple shapes first instead of details, that way the picture can be detailed later and look tons better.
The Flintstones on is more cluttered from what I can see, but I can tell that it's also planned out instead of doing it 'head on' you can tell whats going on, but the characters can be staged alot differently so it can have more clarity. That's what I think as far as I read about staging.

The best and worst part of all - the house needs some renovating. For the past decade, four bachelors have been living there and they have not been super... tidy, let's say. Mostly, the house needs a good scrubbing and some new paint. But also the kitchen and bathrooms need various levels of upgrading. The great news is the owners are willing to subsidize our rent and pay for the renovating. And I get to blog about it! Hooray!
I can't tell you how thrilled we are. We've been having a nagging feeling for the past couple months that we needed to move, though we weren't sure where. We looked at a couple of apartments in our neighborhood, and I stalked real estate (in other states even!) and then I randomly checked the Craiglist listings for Brooklyn Heights one day about a month ago. There was this tiny little sentence or two about a brownstone available and that they were looking for a family. Not much more info than that, and no photos (normally sort of a deal breaker, right?). I decided to call anyway and I'm SO glad I did. The owners are just the nicest people. The process has taken about a million times longer than most NYC real estate transactions (two years ago we found, toured and signed on our loft in less than 72 hours!), but it's sort of nice to do things the good old fashioned slow way every once in a while. We feel good, they feel good - it really is the perfect place for our family.
We're going to finish up the school year here in Manhattan, then we'll go out of town for a little vacation and come back at the end of July to move just a hop, skip and a jump across the bridge. I still have some projects I'd like to wrap up and photograph here at the loft anyway, so the timing works really well.
I'm so jazzed about this, guys! It's been sort of a rough year for us in some aspects, and we needed a big win. This was totally in the 'win' category. :)
