Workly Clomernts!

   I learned this week that some cuts are harder than than others.

   I want to learn how to make time move slower so i can get more time for the short.

   The highlight of the week was getting tons of pop.

   The low point was not having much to say about the blogs.

   Here's a little something that could give you more appreciation for Micheal Bay's style.

Horizontal Bop!

   Humans are stupid. A slight movement change can change how people view things? The crap is that? You may not have noticed the effect that left or right movement has on you, but your brain did. Things moving left to right makes us feel all happy and stuff, and things moving right to left make us want to vomit. But why? Some say that it's because we read from left to right, but does that mean that for the Japanese this phenomenon is reversed? Because that's how they read? Regardless, this can be used to establish comfort or create a sense of safety and comfort. It's similar to how camera angles can create a sense of vulnerability or intimidation.

   This was also freaking short. I don't know what to say. So use rightward movement when you want to scramble someone's brain.

Rockin' Tunes, Man!

   Jon Williams writes us an amazing score for... up, nope, he's telling us about pretentiousness ground zero, Art School. Art school exists for artists that want to show off, and people who want to be artists but don't have any ideas. He has the grit to say that art school isn't necessary! But that it also won't hinder you're aspirations. (except for the debt) Since you can't teach creativity art school mainly serves as a way to show people ways they can express their creativity. Truth is, when itn comes to the arts, employeers rarely care about your credentials, but some are daft enough to think it matters. Ultimately the industry of art, be it drawing, music, movies, or whatever, it doesn't matter how much schooling is under your belt if an audience enjoys your work. Ol' Jonny also understands the 3D scrambles brains, and tells us to not to stress over changing software, and to just worry about the art fundamentals. Jon also says that we suck and we should lose any ambition we may have. Because wanting to be the best = ego. Ok. Fair enough. If you tried to jump off Quentin Tarantino's ego you'd never hit the ground. It also makes people not want to work with you, and work can really suffer. Case and point: The Room. 'Nuff said. Jon closes by saying we can always improve. Nice to end on a high note.

    So... this existed. Not much to say. Good pointers? Pretty good advice, but nothing mind-blowing. So obey these simple rules and do these simple things and you'll be getting inspiration every fifteen or twenty minutes.
