How does one get into the animation field?
I want to be able to create my own cartoons eventually. I love the unique worlds such as Cowboy Bebop, or Aeon Flux… and I want to know how to get a job like that.
I graduated from art college several years ago. AAC in the bayarea. If you don’t know anyone who’s in animation field, you can try to present your idea and art work to the teachers in art school. Most of teachers in my school are not professional educator but professional artist. Such as most teachers who is teaching animation may from the big film company. Some of them fly from LA to give us class everyweek.
I thought you may start from their if you go some good stuff. But if you really got some great stuff, be careful with who you deal with. We had sign the contract that all our works belong to school when we were. I have known there some teachers keep student’s idea become their own…

Look into getting enrolled in a graphic arts class in a college or school, and take it from there.
Harley | Mar 24, 2006
Do a course in Animation…. If your drawing is very very good, then you stand a good chance.
nice_libra_guy | Mar 24, 2006
If you have the love and obviously talent you can!
Good animation takes countless time and effort.
Be consistant do not drift in to other things in that area
You can professionalize abything if you just keep on keeping on!
Goodluck, animation is good fun work
bringin life to a character is certainlya great feeling of giving birth.

IMDB rating: 4.10 Plot: Long time inmate Twitch (Kurupt) gets himself transfered to a tougher prison than the re-opened Alcatraz. He claims it’s to be closer to his lady but his real motives are a bit more grandiose. There he crosses paths with Burke (Bill Goldberg) a bulky prisoner who can take care of himself. Twitch, despite being less muscular, is just as mouthy and is pretty much the same. But there is a gang war brewing between the black and hispanic inmates… |

Repubs, will a win in 2010 be longterm, or similar to the events that followed 1994?
The midterms take place on November second, so this is assuming that the political tide does not change in the nine months between now and the big day. But, if current polls prove correct, republicans will gain, probably not a majority, but will gain. Here’s step by step what I think will happen. It’s ultimately a repeat of the 90s
1. The democrats either lose control (Probably not) or lose enough seats that their simple majority can’t overcome a filibuster without a decent handful of republicans joining them. Obama, like Clinton, will do this. He moves toward the center, knowing the republicans will never do the same. Since most americans are in the middle, Obama will be able to then paint himself as a moderate while painting republicans as radicals. It worked for Clinton, and history repeats itself. Many republicans have said that Obama is too liberal to do anything in the center, but that’s just underestimating a president’s will to be re-elected. Rest assured Obama will do what he has to do.
2. This balance of power will ultimatly result in the republicans shutting down the government. They did that twice in 1995. Obama, like Clinton, will have moved more toward the center, and, like the 90s, the public will blame congress, not the president, for the standstill. Just as they did in the 90s, the republicans will figure, if you can’t beat him, then half-heartedly join him while hoping for an excuse to impeach him.
3. Health care, in 2012, is a dead issue. Either it will pass in 2010 by compromising with a few decent republicans, or the right will once again obstruct reform. So, in 2012, it either died as an issue, or passed but hasn’t taken effect yet, and is a non-issue. Also, due to the rollercoaster that is the economy, recessions following expansions, and expansions following recessions, it is only natural pattern that the economy will be solid again by the election of 2012. Incumbent presidents don’t lose with a strong economy. Also, Iraq withdrawal is set to be complete by summer of this year, and likewise afghanistan by summer of 2011, so for the 2012 election, the nation will not be at war, ergo no divisive foreign policy dominating the campaign. So 2012, strong economy, no war or HC debate, didn’t the election of 1996 have a similar issueless campaign with an outcome not in your favor, republicans?
4. These events will cause democrats to gain seats for the next few elections. Following 1994, these exact events led democrats to gain in congress 1996, 1998, and 2000
5. And God help you if you try to impeach him. Is your buddy Kenneth Star about to be called in for another try?
1994
Your Assistant | Feb 03, 2010
If your point is that politically, it led to the Democrats getting back in power, you might be right. If you mean that the Republicans were not effective in doing something positive for the country, you’re wrong. Let’s not forget that healthcare reform came thanks to that Republican Congress.
God's Reporter | Feb 03, 2010
Last I looked, both Congress and the WH swing back and forth. GOP gains will be temporary, just like Democrat gains are temporary. Either adapt to the swing, or get voted out.

Bad answer. Next question.
E-5 | Feb 03, 2010
Only if they don’t lose their way like the republicans did after their 1994 victory. They lost touch with their original message of limiting government, and such, and became government growing, self empowering, greedy, power mongering, Washington elitists. That’s why they got the boot in the 2006 congressional elections.
Stan Darsh | Feb 03, 2010
That’s a fair guess. A split government with Obama as President and a Republican Congress with a strong leader may be an economic boon, as proved by the Clinton-Gingrich combination.
How would you alter your assessment should we have a protracted recession with inflation (stagflation) – an early 80s scenario, on steroids?

can u please read my story and see what you think but please no nasty comments?
I walked in the doors as quietly as possible. I had been over at my friends house and I was 2 hours late. I shut the door and crept up the stairs. Now the the difficult part. my door was the squeakiest doors on earth. I could always sleep downstairs on the sofa but I would end up sleeping for too long and my mum would catch me and that wasn’t a risk worth taking and my dad would still have been up but I didn’t hear the television on.
Then i realised i was in the wrong house everything was wrong. How did i not notice I wasn’t in my own house, it isn’t hard. The walls were crimson red and white carpet that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for months. There was a small table with a piece of paper on it. I picked it up. It was a list of names wrote in red pen, most of them were scored out but there were three names left. Emma, Loraine and my name, Paige.
I ran down the stairs, but stopped halfway down, to seeHoodeded man. I couldn’t see his face but I could tell from his posture that he would be a teenager and probably in a gang. That was when he pulled out a knife from his pocket. I ran back up the stairs. I ran into the room that would have been my room if it my own house, this room was light blue, with blood stains on the wall and a dark blue carpet. I ran to the window. The door was flung open and there he was again. Fear wrapped itself around me. My hands were shaking and tiny beads of sweat trickled down my forehead. I was so trappeundeterrededd. I ran up to him and kicked him in the stomach, he let out a squeal of pain, I ran down the stairs and out of the front door that was still wide open.
I ran down the empty street, I had no idea where I was going I just ran. I turned the corner and realised where I was, I kept on running until eventually i was outside my house. The living room light was still on and i my mum peeked out the window with a worried face. Then, she saw me.
plz dont comment if all ur gonna say is i forget capital letters or punctuation or spelling i have notice a few myself and already change it
i’m only 14 so dont expect it to be amazing
what i meant by no nasty comment is that some people say nasty things just for the sake of it
i dont mind constructive critism (sorry i’m not that good at spelling)
I recommend finding some writers sites. This page has links to writers communities. http://sites.google.com/site/allusionsan ddreams/home/resources-1

Chandler | Feb 09, 2010
very good but a bit more description and passion in there to give the reader the felling of tenseness as you stood there looking at the youth.
but over all 7/10

I quite like it and other than a few bits I thought it was really good. if you want more opinions, try the young writers forum. I’m 14 too and i used this and found it really help full. It’s for 13-21 year olds to post there work and to read and review others. Hope this helps and good luck with the writing! x

Hi I think you have done well since you are only 14 I am intrigued to find out who this guy was.
My only problem was you missed out some words in places
"my door was the squeakiest doors on earth" would be "My door was one of the squeakiest doors on earth." or "my door was the squeakiest door on earth."
Apart from little things like that you have done well. Keep writing!

So all you want is people telling you how good your writing is? No bad comments? How do you plan on improving if you think that everything you write is wonderful? Posting things here, you run the risk of getting some wicked nasty comments.
To avoid those comments, ask if there is anything that should be improved in the paragraphs. There are tons of people here who want to help others improve, but when you want a comment, then anyone will post. Most of them have no idea what they are talking about. The first comment will attract authors and writers. The second one will attract sharks that only want to chew you up.
Get some practice, and keep writing. Read a lot.
The hardest part of writing is to show not tell. Seems like you are telling a awful lot in your story. Get onto some writing web sites and they will explain everything you need to know.
Good luck

I walked in the door as quietly as possible, shut the door and crept up the stairs. Now for the difficult part– I had the squeakiest door on earth. I could always sleep downstairs on the sofa, but I would just end up sleeping for too long and my mum would catch me. And that wasn’t a risk worth taking. "and my dad would still have been up but I didn’t hear the television on."<– any way you can change this? doesn’t fit
At this point i realized i was in the wrong house. Everything was wrong. How did i not notice I wasn’t in my own house? "It isn’t hard; the walls were crimson red and white carpet that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for months." what is the reader supposed to get out of this? There was a small table with a piece of paper on it. I picked it up. It was a list of names wrote in red pen, most had been crossed, out but there were three names left: Emma, Loraine and my name, Paige.
I ran down the stairs, but stopped halfway man. "to seeHoodeded man."<– no idea what ur getting at here I couldn’t see his face but I could tell from his posture that he was a teenager, and probably in a gang. That was when he pulled a knife from his pocket. I ran back up the stairs. I ran into the room that would have been mine if it my own house. This room was light blue, with blood stains on the wall and a dark blue carpet. I ran to the window. The door was flung open and there he was again. "Fear wrapped itself around me."<–good that you’re attempting a creative approach, but any other way you could manage? My hands were shaking and tiny beads of sweat trickled down my forehead. I was so trappeundeterrededd … ? I ran up to him and kicked him in the stomach at which he let out a squeal of pain. I ran down the stairs and out of the wide open front door.
I ran down the empty street with no idea where I was going. I turned the corner and realized where I was. I kept on running until eventually i was outside my house. The living room light was still on and my mum peeked out the window with a worried face. She saw me.
I don’t know if this will help. I mean no disrespect, but an editor reads only about a thousand word of any given manuscript. You have that long to catch his/her attention and hold it with your ability with prose.
you have talent, I just want to help you reach the title of best-selling author

IMDB rating: 7.20 Plot: In this update of Disney’s masterpiece film mixture of animation and music, new interpretations of great works of music are presented. It begins with an abstract battle of light and darkness set to the music of Beethoveen’s Fifth Symphony. Then we see the adventures of a Humpback Whale calf and his pod set to “The Pines of Rome.” Next is the humourous story of several lives in 1930’s New York City, scored with “Rhapsody in Blue.” Following is a musical telling of the fairy tale, “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” set to Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Then a goofy Flamingo causes havoc in his flock with his yo-yo to the tune of the finale of “Carnival of the Animals.” This is followed by the classic sequence from the original film, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” starring Mickey Mouse and followed by “Pomp and Circumstance” starring Donald Duck as a harried assistant to Noah on his Ark. Finally, we see the awesome tale of the life, death and renewal of a forest in a sequence featuring the composition, “The Firebird.” |

IMDB rating: 7.00 Plot: The path of Francesca Johnson’s future seems destined when an unexpected fork in the road causes her to question everything she had come to expect from life. While her husband and children are away at the Iowa state fair in the Summer of 1965, Robert Kincaid happens upon the Johnson farm and asks Francesca for directions to Rosamunde Bridge. He explains that he is on assignment from National Geographic magazine to photograph the bridges of Madison County. She agrees to show him to the bridges and thus begins the bittersweet and all-too-brief romance of her life. Through the pain of separation from her secret love and the stark isolation she feels as the details of her life consume her, she writes down the story of this four-day love affair in a 3-volume diary. The diary is found by her children among her possessions and alongside Robert Kincaid’s possessions after Francesca is dead. The message they take from the diaries is one of hope that they will do what is necessary to find happiness in their lives — whatever is necessary. After learning that Robert Kincaid’s cremated remains were scattered off Rosamunde Bridge and that their mother requested a similar disposition for her own ashes, the children must decide whether to honor their mother’s final wishes or bury her alongside their father as the family had planned. Adapted from the novel by Robert Waller, this is the story of love that happens just once in a lifetime — if you’re lucky. |

Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman
June 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment
|
IMDB rating: 8.00 Plot: In 1938, two aspiring comic strip talents, Jerry Siegal and Joe Shuster, published a character that would create a new genre of fantasy, Superman, the first superhero. This film explores the creation of the character and his subsequent evolution over the decades through various media. With various interviews of noted creative luminaries, the film shows how the character has adapted to the times and bounced back from times when he felt irrelevant to always regain his prominence as one of the great heroes of popular culture. |

In the 'Superman' documentary, all living characters of the genre are interviewed except Tom Welling. Why?
In the documentary, "Look, up in the sky!: The amazing story of Superman", all living characters involved with the genre are interviewed except Tom Welling – who is the star of TV’s hit show, ‘Smallville’. Tom Welling has been a major contribution to the genre, and is a major celebrity still living. Why was he not involved? Did he refuse, or was he ignored? Or did other schedules conflict?
that is a pretty glaring omission. I haven’t saw it. was this the same show I saw on a&e a few months ago narrated by kevin spacey? it seems like there were 2 shows like that, one on a&e the other on discovery channel and I’m pretty sure I saw tom welling in one of them.
surely he wouldn’t refuse,and it wouldn’t take that long to get some clips so schedule conflict should be out. maybe he wasn’t because technically he isn’t superman yet.
but I’m sure I have saw him on some superman/superhero doc where he was talking about meeting christoper reeve in that one episode and his(tom’s) part in the grand scheme of things.
I’ll have to rent it
