I like all of you want to found my own studio, and have so much success it makes Pixar look like child’s play.
But that’s not gonna happen, I mean we all can’t seem to get over ourselves long enough to finish a single collaboration. Let alone create a studio, I get it, everyone has there own dreams. We all believe we will succeed and at the same time we definitely don’t put that same faith into any one else. But in reality there just aren’t enough animators in the world for us all to be Walt Disney.
But I don’t need to have my own studio. Just having a job where I can do what I love, (which is animation and writing) I would be more then happy. Now I think you all know its true when I say there is enough talent and equipment and commitment here to be churning out at least 6 minutes of animation a week. Which is more then enough for profitability. I know we can get there, it won’t be easy but with a common direction and lots of commitment the animation will be made, and if the animation is made, then people will watch, and if people will watch, then advertisers will pay. There is a lot of opportunity in animation and its an incredible art form and it can go way beyond simple children’s cartoons, but it hasn’t, yet.
But this isn’t about money, we need to show we can be organized and utilize our full potential. If we can perform as a respectable studio then we will be treated as a respectable studio. We have more resources here then any small studios.
So here’s my proposal, we all work together. We all can pitch our projects and whoever’s project has the most support is what we all work on. If we can grow into a large network of artists working in a common direction we can truly do the impossible, but honestly I have people to work on my projects, and the ability and equipment to do it all on my own. I want to do this because this really is a huge opportunity to create something truly worthwhile. It will happen if we all have the same dumb faith we have in ourselves and it won’t if we don’t, it really is that simple. “nothing worthwhile would have every been invented if they knew what the hell they were getting in to”
