#animation

Hmmm, ich weiß gar nicht mehr so ganz, wie genau ich zu dem Beruf (oder eher die Berufe, Linus deckt da gleich ne Reihe ab, die alle irgendwie Hand in Hand gehen und verwandt sind, I guess 😅), gekommen bin, da ich sein Konzept schon länger im Kopf hatte. Sein humble Beginning hatte er natürlich als HP-Oc und da sollte er maybe Auror werde, weil ich unkreativ bin bei Berufen, besonders in der Wizarding World.
Aber als ich ihn aus der WW in die Prosa-Welt geholt habe, hab ich wohl viele Videos des Youtuber Jordan Fringe gesehen, der kleine Video-Essays über Nostalgie-Medien macht, wobei es eine Zeitlang verstärkt Cartoons aus den 80s, 90s und early 2000s waren. In den Videos erzählt Jordan auch immer kurz was zu Entstehungsgeschichte und beim Zähneputzen und Video gucken, dachte ich mir, "Hey so ein Animator ist doch mal was! Hab ich in der Szene so noch nicht gesehen und es was kreatives!" Vielleicht hatte ich vorher noch den Gedanken hin zum Comic-Buchautor zumachen, but Animation it is.

---

Von den bewegten Cartoons, kam ich auch noch auf die Comicstrips und Illustrationen, wo ich auch gleich seinen Spitznamen/ favorisierten Namen Linus gefunden. Namensspender ist da Linus Van Pelt aus den Peanuts (Snoopy) Comics von Charles M Schulz.

---

Die Tage kam jetzt noch der Teilzeit-Synchronsprecher hinzu, weil man etwas Geld sparen kann, wenn man ein paar Charaktere in seiner Serie einfach selbst spricht :D

---

Die Berufswahl konnte ich dann gleich auch gut in die Jugend einbauen, #ArtKid.

---

Da seine Berufs-Spektrum somit schon relativ früh feststand, hab ich mir tatsächlich nicht viel Gedanken über andere gemacht 😅
Also vielleicht etwas, was ihm sensorisch einfach zu viel abverlangt? IKD 🙈😂

ℑl conte Dracula in persona, preside della Sony Picture Animation School, invita tutte le scuole rivali alla festa a tema più creepy dell'anno.
Per l'occasione, il luna park " Super Silly Fun Land " diventa, per un giorno, il " Super Spooky Fun Land ", trasformandosi in un vero e proprio parco giochi dell'orrore. Rumori lugubri e improvvisi, attrazioni infestate, stand con cibarie discutibili, antri delle streghe, escape rooms con inseguitori d'eccezione, giochi dirottati per farvi provare il brivido dell'adrenalina, così da darvi l'opportunità di vedere la morte in faccia coi vostri stessi occhi.
Ad aggirarsi per il parco, veri e propri mostri in carne ed ossa cercheranno di rapirvi dalla vostra compagnia di amici, per rendere il tutto ancor più realistico e sinistro.
Sopravvivrete ad uno spavento simile?
Sarete abbastanza coraggiosi o soccomberete nel tentativo?

Il dress code richiede ovviamente di presenziare con una maschera, un trucco e/o costume, pena la mancata partecipazione all'iniziativa. Il tutto comincerà domani alle otto di sera, e da quel momento in poi si avrà il via libera per le role con l'ambientazione sopra indicata; come nel Fall Party, si avrà tempo fino al 7 Novembre per cominciare le interazioni, dopo di che non sarà più possibile startare role che avranno luogo al party di Halloween. Tuttavia, una volta startate, le role potranno essere continuate ad oltranza, a vostra discrezione, senza un limite di tempo.
Non è obbligatorio partecipare all'evento, così come non è necessario venire accompagnati da qualcuno.
Come la volta scorsa, se i vostri pg prenderanno parte alla festa, vi chiediamo cortesemente di lasciare un like a questo post, per farci un'idea dell'indice di gradimento e di disponibilità, oltre che per sapere a chi mandare la domanda per l'outfit dalla pagina dei Days.
Se qualcosa non vi è chiaro, sentitevi liberi di chiedere spiegazioni a noi admin.
Speriamo che l'iniziativa vi piaccia e attendiamo riscontro!

I sort of achieved my biggest dream. I just wanted my parents to be happy and proud of me. I grew up feeling bad that I wasn’t pretty, smart, well mannered, or talented enough. But since I moved out and stopped forcing myself to exist for them, I realized that they’re content with me anyway. My dream right now is to get my parents to stop working and retire so they can work on their garden and go on vacation.
Make my parents proud. They've given up a lot over the course of their lives for me and my little brother - they're first gen immigrants, and the first couple of years here were really tough, but they tried to make sacrifices in a way that I never felt the pinch. I just want to give that back to them in tenfold.
Honestly, I've got a car, a house, a wife and a child, so 90% of my dreams have already come true. However, I want to get a book published, write and direct a film, star in a film (not written by me, I'm not that self indulgent) and watch my baby girl grow up into a successful woman.
In my writing classes at college (creative writing major), some authors gave advice saying that you know your piece is done when you're no longer editing and just making changes. Changes that mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of the story. Every artist in the world looks at their own pieces (art, writing, animation, etc.) and only sees its flaws. It's just how our brains work. I look at my piece and then I look at professional books and see the mistakes in their pieces. I read a book that skipped a whole half of a sentence. Your readers will never imagine exactly what you pictured while writing it because everyone is different. It will take a lot of practice to silence that self doubt, and I'm still not completely over it, but I am happy with my book, so yeah. As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters in the end.
Definitely. I had several beta testers for my book. My very first one was not a good reviewer, though. She was extremely critical, but her criticism wasn't constructive in any way. When picking a friend, family member, or someone else to review your piece, you have to trust this person to be brutally honest but still be constructive. If you want a professional to look it over, I would look on Reedsy. It's a free service that helps self-publishing authors to get into contact with professional editors and reviewers, and even cover artists, though you have to afford those professionals.
To make a difference. This "dream" is actually fueled by my fear of dying and not being remembered. So I want to make an impact on the world so I will never be forgotten, but in a good way not the Hitler kind of way. Selfish I know.
And if ever age caught up to me, or I got bored of travel, then I would buy a simple farm and spend the rest of my days telling my grand kids and anyone else that would listen about my world travels and the things in my Tuff Box and my new second Tuff Box from my travels.

Magnolia (1999) von PTA fand ich beim ersten Mal supergut, aber das Ende etwas komisch. Nun finde ich mich jährlich irgendwie den Film wiedersichten und habe ihn inzwischen total ins Herz geschlossen. Über drei Stunden lang und für mich sicherlich PTAs Meisterwerk. Tom Cruise als Red Piller ist einfach nur die Höhe.

---

Oldboy (2003) von Park Chan-wook war einer meiner ersten koreanischen Filme, und daher ist viel der Filmsprache noch an mir vorbeigegangen. Nachdem er sich zu einem meiner Lieblingsregisseure gemausert hat, habe ich den Film auch noch viele Male gesehen und liebe ihn inzwischen bedingungslos.

---

Ähnlich verhält es sich bei vielen der kinderfreundlicheren Ghibli-Filme, auch bei Mamoru Oshiis Filmen und bei Akira - die habe ich so früh gesehen. Jetzt, wo ich mit Anime und Animation wirklich sehr viel Erfahrung habe, habe ich erst realisiert, was für phänomenale Ausnahmewerke Filme wie Ghost in the Shell und Akira sind, oder Serien wie Cowboy Bebop.

---

Jim Jarmuschs Night on Earth (1991)! Fand ich anfangs mit jedem Kurzfilm etwas weniger cool, und am Ende etwas planlos. Rewatche ihn aber jährlich, weil der New Yorker Abschnitt allein so genial ist, und habe die Schönheit darin endlich erkannt. Mit jedem Kurzfilm wird die Nacht später, und die Begegnungen entsprechend... auch müder, irgendwie. Das ist einfach ein toller Film, gerade, wenn man selbst etwas müde ist.

---

Andrei Tarkovskys Ouvre ebenso. Damals war ich einfach noch nicht bereit für langsam erzähltes Kino, das auch noch als älteren Jahren ist. Jetzt, wo ich alte Filme sehr gern sehe, und auch überwiegend (noch dazu deutlich älter als 1960 oder sonst was), bin ich total daran gewöhnt, mehr entschleunigt. Seine intuitive Art, Filme zu drehen, findet bei mir "mit dem Alter" genau wie Terrence Malick und Wong Kar Wai immer ein Stückchen mehr Anklang. Sehr schön.

---

Serientechnisch vermute ich, dass mir eine Wiedersichtung von Twin Peaks die Serie völlig zur Offenbarung macht. Sie ist der große Bruder meiner Lieblingsserie The Leftovers, und gerade ihre surrealsten Momente sind TL am ähnlichsten, aber damals fand ich es einfach zu lang und teils etwas banal. Inzwischen vermisse ich das Städtchen so sehr, dass ich mir sicher bin, mich über jede geteilte Minute damit mehr zu freuen.

---

Zuletzt Breaking Bad, das ich zweimal abgebrochen hatte, obwohl es so gut gedreht und gespielt war, weil's mich in der dritten Staffel immer wieder verloren hat. Habe es irgendwann zur vierten geschafft und war dann vollends sprachlos glücklich, das Meisterwerk endlich so richtig zu fühlen.

I have the impression that this generalizing statement refers first and foremost to the mainstream Hollywood setting. At least I can't think of any comparable ensemble that is so frequently in flux and subject to criticism.

---

But I would basically differentiate between different film producers, film types (real or animated) and countries. Personally, I watch very different films; German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French and don't leave it at the USA alone.

---

Moreover, this criticism should refer to different parameters of film production: Plot, directors, script, excessive use of CGI effects, camera work, acting performance, etc.

---

"Back then" technology was different and you didn't have as much leeway in development as you do today.

---

Miyazaki, for example, in his Ghibli films wants to preserve the time-honored tradition of hand-drawn production, which involves a lot of effort and work, but achieves a beautiful effect, which is why he got into a dispute with his son, who wants to resort to computer animation and modernize the whole thing.

---

I would look at the whole thing more differentiated and not necessarily put the earlier film production as the ultimate in the film industry and rather put it into perspective with the present.

---

Nowadays, a lot of garbage is produced that is just supposed to look fancy, but only serves as entertaining entertainment (see "Ready Player One"). However, there's nothing reprehensible about that either. Not every film has to live up to a standard of profundity and artistic excellence. Sometimes shallow entertainment is desirable and good, only it should be criticized appropriately.

---

There are enough modern-day treasures that shouldn't fail on the premise that movies are invariably bad these days; especially if you move away from the Hollywood bubble and look at movies outside the mainstream.
