Most of our letters from young animators ask us about finding new
personalities to put in their stories. Every critic, on the other
hand complains about the weakness in the story and the lack of full
development in the characters. There is so much emphasis on story
and personality in movie reviews, that it seems surprising that there
are not more spectacular stories with deeper meaning at every screening
in the country.
We will call this our "Work in Progress"
We have started our first work in progress with two pleasant
individuals, well, Nilknarf and Revilo, competing in a whistling
contest. There is also a dog, Gypsy, who seems to be unhappy with any
kind of whistling.

| Build,
Develop, Make it Better! |
All of you
have seen popular
characters who
o are quick to
anger
o mischievous,
making a joke of every situation
o slow to catch
on
o big hearted,
loving everybody
o very smart
o can't resist
food
Why not start by trying various traits that will give the characters a
more interesting focus?
o Different
voices?
o Stronger
attitudes?
o Simpler story
line?
o More
complicated story line?
Don't change anything you may like, Don't change anything just to
be different! |
