reminds me of an odd anthropology class I took at calarts. where the focus was on 2 books where anthropologists interviewed ppl who were v clearly weirdoes within the cultures they supposedly represented, & the books were to some extent aware of this iirc

Yuri Norstein once came to CalArts and showed us some stunningly beautiful scenes from his in-progress feature The Overcoat. Still in-progress 25 years later. Hope it gets finished!

what frustrates me about critics' responses to US animation is they always assume the bad projects are the fault of creatives (like that stupid "calarts style" hate train as if it wasn't pushed mainly by companies & not the artists)& not studios who want to optimize consumption at expense of quality
If you're at an American company, there are very obvious solutions to this, you just have to implement them. All you have to do is greenlight the animated movies that you know have been pitched to you.
This is possible. We can make this money (and probably more) with American animation too.

Theatrical anime is doing (better than) Hollywood numbers, with Chainsaw Man even getting a lot of IMAX screens. And it's been fascinating to see the conversation and reviews move from genre and enthusiasts sites onto just movie sites and movie sections. It's not nerd culture anymore. Just culture.

Hm, my counterpoint to this is that there was a good 20 year period where Disney hired people in the basis of “how much they draw like Glen Keane” and CalArts pretty actively groomed people with ambitions of going to Disney to draw like that, because it was more or less considered their House Style

While animators were encouraged to mould themselves to the house style of the company that they planned to work at for the duration if their careers! Like, you saw people’s CalArts films and you could tell “that guy’s going to Disney, that guy’s going to Nick, that guy’s going to CN”

Not to make it sound like I’m pointing “CalArts Style” fingers or anything, it’s just like uh… the big difference between animation and Illustration programs until recently was like… are you learning to sing in a Choir or are you learning to sing as a solo artist

At least they didn't resort to the bean mouth/CalArts insult, but still calling it Claymation is just dumb.
"That little cartoon is apparently the number one rated cartoon they have on on their show. I haven’t seen it. It looks kind of like claymation or something, I’m not really sure"

Btw I did a thing 👀
Always wanted to improve my game design skills and remembered this course exists, so... I'll try and see if I can finish it now that I have time where playing/coding/drawing is harder and there's plenty of time for watching videos.

Perhaps the oldest creative material I have on my computer — frames from a Super-8 short film that I made in 1986 and submitted as part of my portfolio when I applied to CalArts. Besides the original, I only have a VHS tape copy somewhere and these frames were pulled from that a long time ago.
