Animation

Alex Olguin Thanks for sharing! Logline did a great job at pulling me into what the story is about. I personally feel like this would sit well with family audience. Look forward to seeing where this goes!

Thanks Cyrus Sales. This logline took me ages to create since Lora is not an anti princess nor a villain she is something way much more complex than that, she is a subversion of the modern subversion of the princess, but still not going back to classic princess.

Someone who read the script mentioned that this kind of character has never been executed like this particularly, so I'm very exited to develop this further specially since the screenpley is fully writen.

Thanks for sharing Banafsheh Esmailzadeh . This looks familiar, how old is this animation?

Banafsheh Esmailzadeh Initial D is one of my favorite anime! The dialogue is my favorite, and learning about the cars was fun. It inspired me to create a racing story of my own.

No worries Cyrus Sales, that's the opening for Initial D, according to Wikipedia it's from 1998.

I feel that Dwayne Williams 2, I can see why boyfriend said it was many people's gateway into drift and car culture as a whole, and it's good too because I need something like this for Petal (protagonist Jiro is a racecar driver, and honestly it makes perfect sense for him to be into drifting). We found the entire first stage subbed on YouTube so we're watching that :D

Wow, I really like it!

AGZARIN . thank you ^^

Jason McArdle Thanks for keeping us update on the progress! Love seeing your work pop up on my timeline.

Thank you Cyrus Sales :) much appreciated as always

Mungunzul Otgonbayar Thanks for sharing! What did you use to make the animation?

Cyrus Sales Thank you,

I’m still learning and experimenting a lot, so I’ve been using a mix of different tools like OpenArt, Canva, CapCut, and some AI-based animation tools while slowly trying to bring Charlie’s world to life.

Most of the visual style and colors are inspired by the original illustrations from my children’s book, so I’ve been trying to keep everything feeling soft, cozy, and magical in a similar way.

AGZARIN . I saw your other post about yellow rabbit, glad to see you're keeping everyone update on how this progresses.

AGZARIN . I'm a little late but thank you for sharing!

Hello. These loglines are good but mostly vague. Other than that, you certainly have a potential take on it. Best of luck.

Nathan Scrivens Thanks for sharing! I agree with Chase Carmichael, I feel like the logline can be revamped to pull us in a bit more but I see the vision. Keep us update on where this ends up going!

To be honest, I didn't know that much about how they made a profit per episode. Usually, I would know the series budget, not the episode budget though. But I do think that "Invincible" wasn't really convincing me. Same could be said for "Jujutsu Kaisen" as is more of a dark adventure premise than a compelling shonen anime because of gore violence. But great job on showing comparisons.

Kevin Jackson I get where the writer was coming from. North American animators usually get paid more and have better working conditions, while a lot of anime productions pull off that level of animation through heavy workloads and underpaid artists.

When you look at it like that, the budget difference makes way more sense. High-quality animation isn’t cheap, the artists are usually the ones paying the price for it. Also, I can already tell the writer is probably an Invincible fan.

Great question Michael Teisan I think there are 2 ways to look at this. Are the majority of stories today better than the majority back then? NO! but there were far fewer animations back then and animation took longer to do, so they had to be very intentional about what they animate.

Today, animation is so accessible, that people put out a lot of crap. With that said, there are amazing animations and stories out there today, that tackle topics that society would not have been comfortable talking about back then, so we definitely have great stories that rival those old ones.

Yeah I'm with Kevin here, I mean, there is a lot of great stuff and then there is a lot of bad stuff and before you had to be 100% sure to do the best scene posible since there are no reshoots in animation, you get what you animated.

Answering your question I think what makes an animated piece memorable is how revolutionary is in its time, when Snow White was created eveyrone was saying that making an animated movie was a dumb idea, they got proven wrong, I thinks what lack now at day is that, I'm going to do this even against all odds factor.

Now it days I feel the industry is playing it too safe, and everyone is focussed on moral discutions about what is right or wrong to show to kid in cartoon media, AI, what hollywood celebrity said what, but too little in, this movie made this kind of character in a different way, or this writer used this trope in a new way.

I, as a writer and creator, been trying to get that with very interetingly positive results. The more you try new things, the more you'll succeed, I guess.

One last think, my mom told me once: the once who are willing to take a risk and deal with the consecuences when failing, and grow out of them, are condemn to success.

That's been a life motto to me my whole life, and here I am.

Alex Olguin I agree with everything you said. I thought about the whole revolutionary thing with Snow White, but although it was a gamechanger I don't think that matters to even today's children who fall in love with it for the first time. I think it has more to do with the storytelling and its timeless message and story structure. To this day it's on every kids list, at some point during their childhood, who has access to it. During the "Golden Age" it was extra special because it was new, but now it holds a special place in almost everyone's heart because it's just a great film.

This is an awesome question. First, I am an animation fan. From the 80s, "G. I. Joe," "Transformers," and "Thundercats." Then it's just progress to Japanese anime like "Robotech," "Fist of the Northstar," and "Record of Lodoss War." Comics and animation are among the reasons I started writing. I think that with the introduction of new animation technology, new stories are being told because animation can keep up with the writer's imagination. From fight sequences to flashback scenes, the right animation can leave you in your seat speechless. Examples: "Demon Slayer: Infinite Castle," Netflix's "Castlevania," and Netflix's "Love, Death, and Robots."

Now, don't get me wrong, some of the classics that were drawn frame by frame can still hold their own with the new animation. And the stories told that way or through animation still hold weight in the industry, like "Ghost in the Shell," "Ninja Scroll," and "Akira." Now, if you are comparing this to animated features like "Snow White," "Bambi," and "Lady and the Tramp," I think the new-age audience would prefer the new animation. It's the faster pace of the movements, color, and storytelling.

John E. Bias totally agree. I guess my question should also be what makes some animated movies stand the test of time? Maybe it's because some writers retell stories in more interesting and relevant ways. All the stories of today are basically modern versions of what's been done by the likes of Homer, Shakespeare, Cervantes, even the tales in the bible and so on. Kind of like how we've reached a point in history where there are no new chords in music, just new combinations, and some of those combinations are more everlasting than others.

Thanks, it's been a long way to this point, and I'm very expectant to what Armstrong-D.U. can become in the future but I'm really having fun with this too!

It looks really good! Cats really do push dogs around. Just one slap and the dog's off whining.

Alex. You know I GOTTA read this one too lol send it over when you get a chance.

You're welcome, Alex Olguin. Having fun with a project helps to finish it and pitch it until you find the right producer, director, etc. Can't wait to watch Armstrong-D.U., Dog's Land, and all your projects!

You're welcome, Alex Olguin. That's great! Congratulations! Keep the community posted.

A short sneak peek at some of the inside content and artwork from "YELLOW RABBIT" (Part I).

A short sneak peek inside: "DOLL OF FIRE" (Episode 03: Acts I-V Summary).

Here's a glimpse of the narrative structure and visual style.

What do you think of this visual writing style and artwork combo?

I'd love to hear your feedback!

I am excited.

Thank you, Kevin! I'd love to hear your feedback after you've read it.
