Full circle moment.
I'm nearing the end of making a short film about my crippling imposter syndrome and how my working life has been impacted by it and simultaneously has exacerbated it. And how I'm working on rediscovering my self confidence.
At the risk of dating myself, for the last shot to animate I've dug out my old lightbox. I've sharpened my blue col-erase pencils with my electric Olivetti that I used when animating on the final Varga TVC co -production. And I'm drawing, on a box of animation paper, that's been stashed in the loft for over 20 years.
A collection of random ream remnants from productions including #TandemFilms section of Walt Disneys A Jungle Book 2,
@illuminatedfilmcompany War Game and A Christmas Carol the Movie, #VargaTVCs Ivor the Invisible, Tandem Films TV ads including the Fairy Liquid baby, Findus Fish Fingers and something to hold your dentures in place 😅 There's some even earlier paper gleaned from working with the wonderful duo of
@banxcartoons and #BobGodfrey on The Many Deaths of Norman Spittal for the now lost
@mtv and
@paramount.comedy and there's many, many more pilots, shows, films and ads in-between.
A lifetime of memories. So I'm sitting here, animating myself animating. A sentimental oldie, all in my feels. And I'm really enjoying it.
