There is not enough information out there about the job that truly makes the difference for animation. And it puts the writer/artist relationship in context.

The biggest problem is that these quotes lack the context of the ongoing discussion. You're more than welcome to provide corrections or context in the comments section.

There are so many blatant misquotes in this recap (even the ones presented in quotation marks!) that I'm amazed the author of this post was actually at the same event I was.

He ordered me to cease and desist. (I just got more secretive about my meetings.)<br /><br />Collaboration seems the best way to go, far as I'm concerned.

But as an artist I'll admit that I've seen some evidence of it at the studios.<br /><br />The thing is, I don't blame the writers. I've often gotten the impression that studios do what they can to keep writers ignorant of what goes on in the rest of the studio. Many years ago I dated a writer, and she told me her story editor was hostile to our relationship. The same editor said he didn't want his writers to be "clouded" (his word) by having to think about how animation works.<br /><br />I've never understood this, I just wanted to say that I don't think it's necessarily the writers' fault.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-91274766273699019492010-05-27T06:37:07.633-07:002010-05-27T06:37:07.633-07:00let's have a panel about that. at negotiation...let's have a panel about that. at negotiation time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-72479109000153470662010-05-27T06:32:58.024-07:002010-05-27T06:32:58.024-07:00wow...it's amazing how little they know about ...wow...it's amazing how little they know about what goes on after they finish their script.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
