When an animation flick goes from a screenplay to the studios of Disney or Pixel, at that time we hire the animators to storyboard the independent movie. We are a creative crew that tells the story and we take on the responsibility to get it done. To think of it in simple terms, if you are a storyteller and know you are going to do the animation, why wait until the end of production to have a script that tells the story?

The animators have to create a storyboard that shows the action sequences, the key moments, and all aspects of the animation that are going to be used to tell the story. During this process, we get a lot of ideas, and when you have a lot of people working on the same story, it does inspire some interesting ideas. A lot of the people on our crew have a long history working in animation and they know what works, and they have some interesting stories to tell. These sketches give an idea of what the animation might look like and are used to show the storyboard artists independent moviemakers that come on board and produce a rough cut of what the final product will look like. This is also used to show other animators or other creators that may be interested in the project. It’s a way to show what the story will look like so that they can figure out if it’s something they want to do or not.

I was able to talk with the filmmakers and see a demo of the film in its current state. There is still a lot they want to do with the film and I can’t wait to see it when an independent movie is done. It is impressive to see how far they have come in such a short time and I can’t wait to see where they go from here. Thank you to Shannon Hurst, director, and Ben Sheppard Audi Director of Photography.
A huge shout out to Shannon and Ben for sharing their footage with me and helping me understand what their vision was for the film. I love this project, can’t wait to see it!

Advertisements Sometimes all you need to do is watch a movie in order to understand the plot. However, sometimes watching a movie might just give you a new perspective on what’s happening and how things might go. Watch this article to find out why movies are so important, and how they can help you gain a new viewpoint about your independent movie life! “I think that you can make a film, I don’t believe in making films for the sake of making films. I just have to have my own reasons for making films. I don’t make films to make money, but you’ve got to earn money in order to spend it on films. Otherwise, it’s a waste of time and independent movie talent. The writer should have money, the director should have money, and the star should have money. If they don’t have any money then they’re not going to make a film… You shouldn’t go into it just to get your name in the paper or to make a name for yourself.”

– D.W. Griffith The latest article on Screenwriting and screenplay development by Lisa Dierks. undefined If you like watching movies, you might have noticed that going to the theater is becoming less and less common. This trend is due to many factors like online streaming capabilities, brands creating their own films, and most importantly the rise of independent films that are released on YouTube or other platforms. In an effort to combat this trend, the studios are working on developing their own online platforms. Though this decision may cause viewers to lose the theater experience, I believe that it is going to force writers, directors, and actors to become more creative in order to be able to create new ideas. When the independent movie studios are no longer working with a traditional story, they will have to create whole new stories. These films that are created from scratch may be more creative, but they will also be more difficult to sell. Finally, the move to online platforms may be a benefit to actors, because they can create a film at their own pace, rather than being subject to a timeline.

The future of film is one that is very different from the past.

One of the hit sitcoms of the 80s was Cheers. I was in Boston during this time and visited the production set of Ted Dansen’s starting acting career. The massive CBS show pole-vaulted Dansen into the independent movie career. I was on the set of the movie with Dansen, and he told me it was his way to pay for his college education. He was a very nice guy. I don’t think he ever lost his naivete.

 

I also saw Tom Hanks in the tv show Bosin’ Stripes. I recall the title and seeing Hanks, Robert Loggia, David Hyde Pierce, and Laurie Metcalf in a small tv show which was an independent movie. I enjoyed the show and the character Hanks played, but I don’t think made it to the big screen. It was not until a decade later in the ’90s, that I saw the movie. That was at a well-known theater and I recall seeing the big-screen version. I recall that the movie had a very high rating and I was shocked at how modern it seemed. The idea of a whiz kid computer helping the FBI seemed a bit far-fetched in the early ’90s. I don’t recall if the movie was filmed in Vancouver or if it was shot in Hollywood?. I do know that the entire independent movie was filmed at the Vaughn bridge in Vancouver

I think that the movie was filmed in Vancouver because of the perfect shot on the bridge. It looked very much like the Vaughn bridge and the colors were getting blown out on screen. I remember that Vancouver had a big impact on me as a child. I remember the whole movie being filmed in Vancouver and the bridge was destroyed in the movie. I remember that there were car chases on the bridge and it seemed like the bridge was really being destroyed. I remember that I wasn’t impressed with the book and it was just okay but would have made a good independent movie. I don’t know what it was about the book but it just wasn’t exciting at all. I thought that the movie was more exciting because it seemed like it was more realistic to me. I remember the movie really depressed me because it was a book that had been torn apart.I think the reason that the author wrote it is that the book got torn apart. I think that the author wrote it to show how the whole world is different and that no one can be trusted
