We should not SPEAK or THINK negatively about our drawings
5 interesting things I found this week
Hey y’all,
Here are 10 things I thought were worth sharing this week:
We all know Walt Disney whose movies inspired all of us. But there are actually two Walts at Walt Disney Studio. Walt Disney himself and Walt Stanchfield. Walt Stanchfield was the trainer, mentor, the free spirtied guy & coach for the animation department for 20 years. He used to give handouts every week filled with things that would inspire, educate & inform the animation crew of Disney.
Those 20 years of lessons are jam packed into two wholesome books called: Drawn to life: Volume 1 & 2.
Walt Stanchfield was a firm believer that “We should not SPEAK or THINK negatively about our drawings.”Disney has eleven decades of storytelling experience. It went from creating black and while silent cartoon movies to B&W movies with sound and then first full colored movie “Snow White & the seven Dwarfs” There are three videos you should watch: The women behind Disney Movies, Snow White: The making of Walt’s first masterpiece and The animation process from 1938
The clues to a great story by Andrew Stanton: It’s a TED Talk that you should watch right away. Too many lessons in 19 minutes. The best part is you experience the storytelling first hand and learn alongside. God! What I wouldn’t give to be a good storyteller.
Anxious avoidant essay: We all have certain patterns in our romantic relationships that either help us float our relationship boat or borderline sink it. This essay explores one of those patterns & it resonated with me. It has explorative writing as well. Makes you think about the topic from multiple different direction.
How to end your extremely online era: We all seem to have a subconscious need to be less online, craving a breath of fresh air and looking the world less through pixels and more through our presence. This essay will convince you and guide you on how to do that.
This is a tiny attempt to curate what my mind pays attention to. Feel free to suggest more interesting things in the comment.
See you next week with another list,
