Been out and about for the past couple of weeks. Went to Otakon, which was lovely in some respects and frustrating in others, and went to see Hayo Miazaki give a talk tonight, which was pretty inspiring in its own way ( Read more... )

I am curious about these Good Storytelling Traits and creators being trolls. :|a

A lot of creators are there for the message and the art, not the fans. Sometimes, dealing with these expectations gets a little in your face, I've noticed. At the same time, a strong consistent message is what you want, and also not altering your own rules and expectations too often.

oh wow.... i can only imagine.

traits.... *thinks* *takes a wild guess!* creators are not making art to make friends--like-minded folks and fans are a bonus. we''re often antisocial dicks stuck outside of society in the first place, and thus stuck observing it, and thus be driven and able to poke/recreate/make an idealistic version of/make commentary on it, which in turn causes those inside of it to look at it again--and sometimes, to be ridiculously surprised that the person behind it all turns out to be a selfish, intolerant, antisocial dick that has no patience for society?

here, have a duchamp. (just for the icon, not because i'm going "...." at you. =D )

Mmm Duchanmp.

Yeah. You have to be strong and consistant in your message, the later of which is a really hard thing to do, but it seems to be working for him. Aparently over 90% of the recent Studio Ghibli hires are female, for example, which I found pretty amazing.

yeah, i get what you mean, i think. sometimes this collection of traits (like any given collection) works in the creator's favor, sometimes it bites the creator in the ass.

Aparently over 90% of the recent Studio Ghibli hires are female, for example, which I found pretty amazing.

i did not know this, but it is amazing, given that animation was (and is) such a male-oriented field. and yeah, all things considered, it makes perfect sense that he'd do that.
