Animator in Los Angeles

In your context, stereotypes can serve a very useful purpose of identifying or creating a "snapshot" of a character and a set of assumed facts in the interest of saving screen time and you can then modify the stereotype to suit your story.

Well, Don, my interest is not so much in writing feature length animations, as in producing animations. And, with a studio of one, moi, feature length film is out of the question unless the animation tools improve...quite a bit. So, for now, it's short animations rather than feature length.

Still, I'd like the stories in the short animations to be as strong as possible, and, since I've got a series in mind, to show some character development.

First ... WELCOME!

I believe there are several writers here who specifically write feature-length animation scripts. Perhaps you could connect with them to see if they can share their expertise with you.

Hello. I'm a graphic artist interested in making some short animations. Actually, I have some full length feature film ideas kicking around, but after entertaining these grandious fantasies for far too long, I've decided to focus on something I can actually produce: shorts. I am not a screenwriter, but do consider myself a storyteller. I have several 30 second scenes written (basically the dialog, with a few brief notes about the action when something other than talking happens) and would like some advice on both improving them, and fleshing out the series.

I wonder where I should go to ask for specific advice, and what to do next?
