Stories have the power to heal | Law Jackson

I believe that Stories have the power to heal! If stories are medicine, then Animation is the ideal delivery method. My name is Law Jackson and I'm a Multimedia Producer for my freelance business Kinetic Text. As an 80's kid it was my dream to be an animator. Back then, you had to know how to draw really, REALLY well to animate. If you couldn't draw- you couldn't animate! As you can imagine a lot has changed over the years and animation became more and more dependent on technology- which was a good thing! But, over time, animation, like the other arts became more commoditized so to stand out I found myself needing to get better at storytelling- because no one really cares what method of easing you're using on your interpolated keyframes. Over the last few years the focus of my craft has shifted to Storytelling. Animation can create a safe space to teach the lasting, bigger picture lessons without the short term pain we experienced to learn 'em. And that's just one of the things animation can do! Animation is ideal for conveying complex, sensitive topics compassionately, yet effectively.
