“I intentionally shoot violence to make the audience feel real pain. I
have never and I will never shoot violence as if it’s some kind of
action video game.”
“Rilke writes somewhere that modern man can no longer die a dramatic death. He dies in a hospital room, like a bee inside a honeycomb cell. Death in the modern age, whether due to illness or accident, is devoid of drama. We live in an age in which there is no heroic death.”
<b>Barry Lopez</b>, from <i>About This Life: Journeys on the Threshold of Memory</i> (Alfred A. Knopf, 1998)<br/>Stories do not give instruction, they do not explain how to love a companion or how to find God. They offer, instead, patterns of sound and associations, of event and image. Suspended as listeners and readers in these patterns, we might reimagine our lives. It is through story that we embrace the great breadth of memory, that we can distinguish what is true, and that we may glimpse, at least occasionally, how to live without despair in the midst of the horror that dogs and unhinges us
Last call for hard copy SVI orders here! Closing requests this Friday the 8th.
If you’d like to own a hard copy of my Undertale fancomic “Seems Very Interesting”, check out this postand send your request forthwith.
No worries for anyone who can’t spare the cash, SVI will be free to read as long as Tumblr lives! However, after Tumblr “accidentally” deleted my page for a full 24 hours last year, I can’t guarantee how long that will be.
Also if you want a copy but don’t have the cash right now, don’t sweat. I’ll open up orders again sometime after I get moved over to my next billet this year. I only have so many moments of free time these days, so I try to do things like this in short, hyper-productive bursts only.
Gosh my #animationjourney so far has been a wild one!
Never thought I got to be where I am today. Hard work really paid off and I’m forever grateful to everyone who gave me a chance.
I’m also sharing all these to hopefully encourage, remind everyone out there that as long as you have the drive to learn and get better, you can achieve your goal!
I literally started mine by managing YuGiOh Reanimate & helping out various students’ thesis films. No animation school.
