      Me too I recently wrote a comedy called Thomas and it's an adult cartoon about a man who is a barista at a coffee shop he's obnoxious dim witted and has obsessions on women of color despite being white he wants to be successful and not fail

    For me the most difficult part is to actually make the thing, and do it, I have a great vision of directing my own story, but I don’t have the crew to actually make the animation for me (I love animation, but it’s very challenging in it’s time consumption part, for me personally), so, how do I do it? (Getting an animation studio that I will run with a crew)

    "If you wanna make movies, really make movies, you gotta come to LA." Well that sucks, I live in Idaho and I can't go out of state right now! :P
    Anyway, after watching this video, I finally know how to describe my role on the animation projects I want to work on. I'm also an animation writer/director. I like being both because it's important that the story be told and shown exactly as I envisioned it. I know what I want and I'm good with communication. For years, I wondered what the right word for what I wanted to do was, producer, animator, cartoonist. Nope, this video hits it dead on. Animation writer and director. Thank you!

      YEAH Exactly that’s what I’ve been saying to the only chance we got is LA and it’s pissing me off there’s nothing or never has been anything here in San Francisco for me and DON’T say Pixar. Except maybe over in Berkeley there was one meet up but that’s about it they’re all from LA and I hate it. I have to get out of here it’s my only chance I got. I’ve been trying so hard for years. I can’t take it anymore and I don’t know how I’m still surviving..

      @@T4eva dang you in San Francisco? that sucks. Well don’t worry bro. I know it may look rough rn, but things will get better for you. If only New York was an option. It used to be but messed up from all the rules it set for movie making so everyone went to Hollywood back in the early 20th century. Researched it and everything. Queens, NY could’ve been like Hollywood lol. Anyways, you’ll get out eventually. God will make a way. I’ll pray for you. Continue studying whatever you’re trying to do before you can get to the big leagues of LA. It could be overwhelming once you get there if you don’t have enough practice, which is why you should always practice. Stay safe my friend and be at peace for the time being. I believe in you😊

      Tip: Show it to people who may be interested, see their opinions before yours, if its good than yea! you got potential but then when they point out some errors or things they don't like try to figure out jhow to fix it make it better.
