The Job of Writing
텍사스홀덤 He's an aspiring writer and was looking for tips on how to break into the industry writing scripts.
I know the young writer is eager and passionate about his craft.
I wish I had some easy advice I could pass on.
However, in this business there are no easy answers.
My number one advice to any young writer is to continue to write.
You can't call yourself a writer if you're not writing and completing what you write.
It really doesn't matter what you write as long as you're doing the job.
That's a work ethic you must have.
Secondly, and this is not easy - but you've got to know people.
Yeah, it's the old Hollywood thing of, “Who You Know,” but it's really true.
gotten number of jobs during my career because people knew me and remembered me.
So, during those tough times when I couldn't find work, 바이브게임홀덤 my phone would suddenly ring and a producer or director would begin the conversation with, “what are you doing or are you busy” So, I told the young man to get to know people.
How do you do that, one might ask, That's up to 텍사스홀덤 추천you. You'll have to do it anyway you can.
The jobs won't come looking for you because nobody will know you or what you can do.
It's going to be your job to get them to know you and know your work.
Of course, you'd best be ready when opportunity comes knocking. I didn't think I had the chops for television writing when I began writing scripts but I stuck with it.
One day, a producer approached me out of the blue with a scripting opportunity.
I had been honing my craft, so at least I was somewhat ready to tackle the assignment.
there are those far more qualified than myself to be providing writing advice.
However, there are some things that never change.
A good writer has to continue to write.
Short stories, scripts, whatever.
You've got to get your work into the right hands and how you do that will take some skill and imagination.
As I told the young man, there's no right way or wrong way of breaking into the business. You get in anyway you can.
Revisiting Song of the South
Thank heavens for Disney historians and the historians in particular who refuse to participate in revisionist history.
No pandering to corporate interests or the companies' desire to whitewash events and present their own sanitized versions of the past.
Books will not be “blessed” by the big corporation and that's all well and good.
Yet, it's a pretty clear sign that the book is one of substance and not just another corporate puff piece.
This new book authored by my pal, Jim Korkis details the creating of the Disney motion picture, “Song of the South.”
This is a story I've wanted someone to tell, and good for Jim to step up to the plate.
delighted when Jim requested I write the forward for the book.
I've always given this rather controversial motion picture special 인디오홀덤 attention and I've even done my own research concerning the Disney film.
I've no personal agenda, either with the Disney Company or Walt Disney in particular.
Always loved this delightful film and began supporting it even as a ten year old kid.
Years later, I even pushed my own experiment by screening unofficial showings of Song of the South to black audiences to test Disney's assessment of the motion picture. Not surprisingly, audiences of color loved the motion picture and even requested a second viewing.
Of course, there were always civil rights activists with their own personal agenda.
They found traction in continually painting Walt Disney as a racist and the movie as an insult to black people.
None of this is true, of course. However, risk adverse corporate interests are always eager to avoid controversy of any kind.
So, if you're a fan of Disney and Disney history in particular I encourage you to pick up a copy of Jim Korkis' new book “Who's Afraid of the Song of the South.”
Animation historian and author, Jerry Beck got it right when he said, “Everything the Disney Company did in its Golden Age is worth watching and discussing.”
I guess it's too much to expect the Disney Company to respect its own legacy.
I'm just glad we have dedicated historians like Jim Korkis who do.
Walt and the Hyperion Days
photograph except to say it was taken during the Disney Hyperion days back in the thirties.
Clearly, things were going well for Walt as he shows off his snazzy new vehicle.
I love going through this stash of old photographs because it provides insight into a studio I never really knew.
I remember walking through stage three on the Walt Disney studio lot some years ago.
designers had constructed a movie set that seems to have been inspired by Walt Disney's Silverlake production facility.
I honestly had no idea if the set designers followed the Hyperion studio plans or if they even had acess to that material.
What they did come up with was an environment that felt very much like Walt's 1930's studio and it truly resonated with me because it almost felt like a trip back in time.
window I was convinced I'd see 1930's Silverlake with all the old vehicles driving up and down Hyperion Boulevard.
I've often wondered why the Disney Company never took the opportunity to exploit their rich legacy.
If the story simply restricted itself to the nineteen thirties and the young striving cartoon studio alone.
Boy, what a story that would make.
The time period, the music and fashion of the time.
Think of a facility filled with eager, talented young men and women practically creating a new medium that would ultimately change Hollywood and the movie business. Dynamic leader like Walt Disney being the "Steve Jobs" of his time.
What a story that would make. I don't know about you, but I'd sure pay good money to see such a film.
Of course, I know the movie business is ultimately a business and studios want to produce stuff they can sell.
While there's always room for a fair number of fantasy films, super heroes and inane cartoons, it sure would be nice to have something of substance every now and then. Such a film wouldn't even be that expensive to produce.
After all, there's no expensive sets to build or costly special effects to produce. It would simply be the story of one of the most fascinating men of our time.
Then again, what do I know
The Creation of Mickey Mouse
One of the most important events during this time was the creation of Mickey Mouse, which marked the turning point for Disney. After losing the rights to his earlier character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Disney, with the help of animator Ub Iwerks, came up with the iconic character of Mickey Mouse.
The first sound cartoon featuring Mickey, Steamboat Willie, became an instant hit and brought the Disney studio into the spotlight.
Introduction of Silly Symphonies
Disney also launched a series of short films called Silly Symphonies.
These animated shorts were often accompanied by music and served as experimental grounds for new animation techniques and storytelling.
The Skeleton Dance (1929) was the first in this series, and it showcased Disney's ability to synchronize animation with music.
Technological Innovation
During the Hyperion days, Walt Disney's studio pushed the boundaries of animation.
One of the most notable advancements was the introduction of Technicolor in animated films.
Disney secured exclusive rights to use Technicolor in animated films for a few years, which gave his films a distinct edge.
The short film Flowers and Trees (1932) was the first to use this color process and won an Academy Award.
First Full-Length Animated Feature - Snow White
Perhaps the crowning achievement of the Hyperion era was the creation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
In 1937, it was the first full-length animated feature film and became a massive success both critically.
skeptical about the viability of a feature-length animated film, dubbing it "Disney's Folly," but its success established Disney as a pioneer in the animation industry.
Move to Burbank
By the late 1930s, the Hyperion studio was becoming too small for the growing company.
The success of Snow White provided the financial means for Disney to build a larger, more modern studio in Burbank, California.
The move to Burbank in 1940 marked the end of the "Hyperion Days" and the beginning of a new era for Walt Disney Studios.
