#10: Finished piece

Response to Podcast

This week I listened the Banecroft Brothers animation podcast, and out of all of the ones that I've heard I think the one with Glenn Keane was the most inspirational for me. 

It talked about his life as a developing artist and how at first he wanted to be a fine artist, but through s series of events out of his control, he accidentally entered himself into an animation course instead at Cal arts. Of course he fell in love, and talked about working under one of the original nine old men. 

You want to create pieces like beauty and the beast, the little mermaid, he was also A great part of the movie tangled, where his style artistically influenced the movie. 

Basically in his podcast as a inspirational quote to those listening, he said that a lot of the time that, even while he was in school he believed that there was no work for him in animation. He called it a calling, and it's what truthfully what I believe and feel. I absolutely loved it and it gave me so much hope. 

# 10: Inspiration pieces

 I finally received my acceptance letter from Disney so it put in extra pep in my step.

All I did this week was sleep! And it was wonderful and I will sorely miss it!

          The dream I had:

I had a dream, that a young girl was living with a family of monsters, the kind that you would see in horror movies. 

Though they made meals out the wasteful lives of other human beings, they did not hurt her, for they loved her greatly. She was one of them, and she felt the same, so she loved her life very much growing up with the monsters. 

She even loved one of the monsters so much, that they had planned to be together and each other's forever, even though their mortalities as well as appetites were so very different. 

But then one day, A bigger and scarier monster found the family, and decided to make a quick meal of them all. You did not see its face, and it is presumed that it did not have onel, but it made proof of its existence known from the ravenous root-like tendrils that took ones life breath. 

It consumed the family of monsters, and as the girl ran away with her lover behind, her life with the monsters was no more.

When she felt safe enough to catch her breath, she turned around to her lover, but found that he was not behind her anymore, and she didn't know for how long. 

She accepted her fate, and entered herself into a Catholic convent, where the monster continuously haunts her.
