It's an unnecessary risk I don't NEED to go to Disney and since we are unable and unwilling to track people potentially exposed to Ebola why should I make any airline trip business does not require me to.

That cruise ship should be held in quarantine for 21 days, just do the math on how many people those 3k pax will come in contact with. Doing otherwise is playing Russian roulette

Interesting.

Attitudes like this are part of the problem, it can't happen here well so we don't need to take precautions you may have noticed that I said l'm cutting ALL non-essential travel on public transit as are many of my colleagues we will travel if necessary but the telepresence suites are getting a lot more use these past few weeks.

I didn't say it can't happen here. I said, statistically, there is nothing you
can really do one way or the other to prevent it happening to you.

Someone could get off that cruise ship, fly home, and go to work at the
gas station when you go in to get a bag of chips.

One of my all time favorite quotes:

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

It's hand drawn mapped to 3D imaging, from what I understand at least. So it's a hand drawn character that can be refined and appear less crude at certain angles and cinematics. Then again I'm not an expert, just a fan of the art.

Step-by-step: the animation process
So how was the final animation completed? Here’s a step-by-step look at the process, as presented at SIGGRAPH LA 2012.

CG animation – the scenes and characters are modeled, rigged and animated in the same way a typical CG animation would be completed (although with simpler models since the CG renders do not represent the final look).

Motion fields – motion fields are created on the CG animation from which the final lines will be advected. These are rendered per-frame per-element with the result being each pixel in the image having a 2D offset. The effect of this is to describe where that point on the CG model will be in the next or previous frame.

Silhouette ribbons – to preserve the ‘line’ look from traditional animation, silhouette ribbons were created for the characters. Here, a character was divided into “topologically-cylindrical components by offsetting the silhouettes perpendicular to the camera direction.” This helped ensure that lines near the character’s silhouette remained on the silhouette.

Motion paper – a paper texture advected by the motion vectors gave a temporal coherent texture to the line and paint.

Final lines and paint – using Meander, final line artists drew key drawings on top of the CG renders, relying on two techniques to then compute the non-key drawings but preserve the temporal coherence of the final-line stage.

This whole conversation is just getting silly. If people want to hide in a bunker and cancel trips or flights over this who cares. If others want to stick their heads in the sand and pretend it can't happen to them who cares about that. Do whatever YOU want. Don't worry about what other people choose to do. I can't figure out why people get so worked up if other people aren't reacting the exact way they are.

And to add something totally different... There was some talk about how Frozen does not fit into Norway as Snow White or Rapunzel would not fit into Germany. I wrote something in reply about the role the Grimm Brother played in German history. And I just came across a podcast (yes, I know @WDW1974 will tell me how silly it is to listen to such strange things) produced by BBC Radio 4 about German history. This episode: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04k6rcb is about the role the fairy tales played in German history. I thought maybe someone would find it interesting in relation to the debate we had. The other episodes are pretty interesting as well.

I find that very interesting, thank you for posting! And thank you even more for posting something not about Ebola. :)

Cool! Bookmarking to listen to later. I love the origin of fairy tales, I think I'll enjoy this. Thanks!

Were they in direct contact with the bodily fluids of Duncan or the nurses? If not, no concern from me. People vomit on airplanes, pretty sure that's why they put barf bags in every seat.

Sure, if you knew for sure they weren't infected then nobody would be worried. I think the point is you don't know for sure. So let's take the same question up a notch. What if 3 people who you don't know who are wearing Texas Health Presbyterian Hosptial T-shirts are puking on a flight flying in from Dallas. Are you worried then?
