OK SO IF Y’ALL WANNA SEE MY LOCAL CULTURE (AS IN PINPOINTED TO MINDANAO), ALL MY THREE KNOWN LANGUAGES AND MY GENERAL AESTHETIC ROLLED INTO ONE CONTEMPORARY MUSIC VIDEO PLEASE WATCH THIS
What I mean: I really, really wish that The Thief and the Cobbler got more love and that the movie could be fully restored and get more people interested. It would have been great if Richard Williams could have completed it, though I feel that at times he could be his own worst enemy because he devoted so much time to animating intricate scenes which weren't always necessary to the plot and the film was entirely independently funded. Even though what happened to the movie is tragic I can sometimes see why Warner Bros were anxious and impatient ti compete with Aladdin and why they lost confidence in Williams when he went overbudget and missed all of his deadlines. Be that as it may the film is honestly the pinnacle of animation and I recommend anyone who loves the art of animation to watch it frame by frame because HOT DIGGITTY IT'S SO GOOD. I mean they shot all of this on ones and it's all hand drawn for fuck's sake how could you not be impressed by that. I mean this fandom really needs to be bigger and this movie needs more love please do it for me.

I got a lot of asks about this so I made a tutorial on how I was able to emulate the 80s aesthetic, please keep in mind I’m not an expert and what I put here is just what I personally did. I hope you guys like it and hope it helps
Because a lot of people asked for it after the last few pages of Clockwork, I thought I’d throw together a quick cloud tutorial for you guys! The brushes are yuumei’s.
The most important writing lesson I ever learned was not in a screenwriting class, but a fiction class.
This was senior year of college. Most of us had already been accepted into grad school of some sort. We felt powerful, we felt talented, and most of all, we felt artistic.
It was the advanced fiction workshop, and we did an entire round of workshops with everyone’s best stories, their most advanced work, their most polished pieces. It was very technical and, most of all, very artistic.
IE: They were boring pieces of pretentious crap.
Now the teacher was either a genius OR was tired of our shit, and decided to give us a challenge. Flash fiction, he said. Write something as quickly as possible. Make it stupid. Make it not mean a thing, just be a quick little blast of words.
And, of course, we all got stupid. Little one and two pages of prose without the barriers that it must be good. Little flashes of characters, little bits of scenarios.
And they were electric. All of them. So interesting, so vivid, not held back by the need to write important things or artistic things.
One sticks in my mind even today. The guys original piece was a thinky, thoughtful piece relating the breaking up of threesomes to volcanoes and uncontrolled eruptions that was just annoying to read. But his flash fiction was this three page bit about a homeless man who stole a truck full of coca cola and had to bribe people to drink the soda so he could return the cans to recycling so he could afford one night with the prostitute he loved.
It was funny, it was heartfelt, and it was so, so, so well written.
And just that one little bit of advice, the write something short and stupid, changed a ton of people’s writing styles for the better.
It was amazing. So go. Go write something small. Go write something that’s not artistic. Go write something stupid. Go have fun.
