You are amazing!! I love your style and we are the strange was the best animated movie ever, infact its the second best movie ive ever seen! ( Im sorry, transformers movie is #1!) You are genius....

[krakkinem]

it seems like all screenwriting classes are about is "form," "structure," and breaking your creative spirit. It's as if all people want to learn and teach about is how to make something POPULAR and not necessarily something new.

[Imdarock4]

I think it's depressing how long it's gonna take to see another movie from him. :(

[maxhully]

I read that book!

But didn't you get the note card idea from the Usual Suspects guy?

[mdotstrange]

Haha your right Max you know me better than I do! lolz... Yeh I went to a lecture by the Usual Suspects guy and he talked about that.

[Anim8torCathy]

Finally, it's about time. No more dilly-dallying and shilly-shallying. Back to work I say! Are you going to use Cinema 4D 10.5 ? I am. I just paid a zillion dollars for it with MOCCA and Sketch&Toon. I'll probably throw more money at Cactus Dan too. BACK TO WORK!!! Break is over. There's animating to be done! :P

[mdotstrange]

Hey Cathy! Yes Cinema 4d again BUT I might stick with 9.6...there's a lot of bugs in 10.5 and they removed non linear animation features with 10 and havent put them back... lets pray for Cinema 4d 11 as a free upgrade ^ ^ And YES cactus Dan rulez his plugs are a must have!

[theogore]

Not that you have time to answer this stoopidly simple question, but just in case: how do you make the duckets to afford to make a flick in the 1st place? I don't want to have to strip -- again...

[DeadlyPenguin]

Think of the books as helpful guidelines or a beginning structure to help you get started

:P

yeah thats what i think, and i think thats what you were saying

idk

:D

but never try to nail down creativity with books, its impossible

[sloth1991]

my birthday is in Jan (7th) so like you should send me like a mega cool gift in 2010! :D like a cool HSM screen shot background,,,thing. but yeah man if you get into sundance again and what not i WILL and i mean it WILL go see it and meet you, yo. btw do you still do blog talk radio?

[FortesAccount]

epic lawlz your first worst fear better be in your movie... do you hear that? the calvery horns are just over the hills!!! RUN! but bring your laptop and get to work....

[hotdogsurprise]

WOOT WOOT! ^_^

[mcasual]

modeling lighting texturing animation i think can be done well , by putting effort and time in it, but it's the camera work that i find difficult, and the way to cut scenes - it seems that part isnt just a matter of effort and time - sometimes i think the trick is to wait until you can dream the scene in your head and quickly note it or film yourself explaining it, so you get the timings as well

[neotoy]

ty ty!

[Saintsage777]

sounds like a great movie in the making.....i like the title

[timdrage]

Ah cool re:London, look forward to it!

[timdrage]

They do do animatics in Japan, there's a term for it I learned on anipages then forgot again. Good to seeya on there by the way ^_^

[AnnilyFields]

Don't worry, you can have those nine minutes :P Better spent watching this than the ceiling. 'S good to see your face again, bet you've been busy as all hell. Definitely looking forward to watching your progress on the movie, it's much more fun to see all the hard work and passion that goes into it before the real release.

[JoeSomebody2]

Good luck with the tedious work of animation. May it all work out for you in the long run. Rooting for ya! ;D *thumbs up*

[AroeAnimator]

I was just wondering, do you have any links to good tutorials for cinema 4d? Because I'm starting to learn it and I'm wanting to in later years make a great film :D

[MattSotirod333]

We have the same handwriting. hahaa

[funymony]
