Silence vs Dialogue

As I've been producing an animated proof of concept, one thing that's become increasingly clear is how much story can be told without dialogue.

Some of my favorite animated films communicate emotion through staging, pacing, music, and performance long before a character speaks.

For those who've worked...

Hi all,

I just finished composing an original score for an animated short film provided by Blender and The Cue Tube specifically for composers to showcase their work. I Hope you don't mind asking for feedback on this score? I figured it would fit here since it's the animation lounge. Thanks so much i...

Michael Teisan

Thank you Sergey Martinov I didn't do the animation or the dialogue or sfx, but everything that's music I did Including the ridiculous songs lol.

Joshua Powell

Michael Teisan I really enjoyed listening to this. The music felt incredibly polished and fit the animation naturally without ever overpowering it. I especially liked how it shifted with the emotion o...

Which Animated Character Has Stayed With You the Most?

Let’s talk characters this week.

Across all the animated films and series you’ve seen, which character has stuck with you long after the story ended?

Maybe it was:

A character arc that felt incredibly real

A personality that was completely unforgettable

A performance or design that brought them to life...

For me, it's Taz, the Tasmanian Devil from (Looney Tunes).

I think it's his pure chaotic energy—the incredible speed, the deep, gravelly voice, and, of course, his ability to spin like a tornado. He's...

Sharing My Great News!

Excited to share that my holiday family screenplay, A Very Merry Pets’ Mas, ranked #12 in the Capital Fund Screenplay Contest’s Hot 100. It's wild because this is my first contest entry, and 6 months ago, I almost didn't start writing this screenplay. I'm thinking of publishing it as a children's book. I don't know yet.

Rewatching Shrek

I would love to be writing, but the gods have decided I’m better off refilling the energy pool by rediscovering classics so today it’s Shrek :)
