Something I want to stress to my teenage followers

Something I wish someone had told me when I was a teenager: age brings clarity. There are some lessons only time can teach you. There are some experiences that won’t make complete sense until you look back when you are older. And this is ok. So many kids now days are rushing to grow up when really they should let things happen at their own pace because once you grow up, it’s a one way trip

[beedablogs]

these were my tags but imma put them here: i really wish i believed this in highschool. i was convinced it was a copout answer, that people just wanted to see me make mistakes, or didn’t care enough to tell me themselves, or that they didn’t want me to prove them wrong because I DID know what i wanted and I was gonna PROVE IT TO THEM, etc.

While it was ok to have aspirations I really bought right into that fervent “I’ll show you I’ll grow up RIGHT NOW” problem even though I benefited from literally having no responsibilities (except putting dishes away which I threw a fit about lol) it’s honestly very scary in retrospect how unstable we really become during that time. 

it really is a one way trip. once you see it and get it, you can never unsee it. you can’t go back to that kind of “blissful ignorance” 100%

I also want to add that a lot of times, it’s the adult and authority figures in your life that make you feel like you need to grow up immediately. Learn to take a step back from the pressure and recognize that they might be adding to your stress. This post is in no way to make any of you feel bad if you honestly want to grow up fast, but those thoughts probably come from somewhere and it’s really important to take breaks from the rush and buzz to think about your mental and emotional state.

Time is a weird thing, but do your best to slow down occasionally.

Five animated shorts for five female animation pioneers

 For this year’s Annency animation festival, the students at Gobelins made five 1-minute animations to honor five female animation pioneers.

They’re all phenomenal. If you have five minutes, please watch each of them. Warning: some hit HARD.

Mary Blair (1911-1978)

Worked for Ub Iwerks, MGM, and eventually Disney. Known for creating incredibly vibrant watercolors, which clashed with the studio aesthetic at the time. Disney eventually let her loose, and her aesthetic can be strongly seen in Cinderella, Peter Pan, and especially Alice in Wonderland.

Evelyn Lambart (1914-1999)

Hearing-impaired Canadian animator who worked with Norman McLaren on several pieces that the Canadian government would later declare masterworks. She directed her own films, making her one of the first women in animation to take the director’s chair. She was known for scratching up film stock to create “jazz” like patterns, the sort of thing you’d later see in Fantasia, Donald in Mathmagic Land, and the like.

Lotte Reininger (1899-1981)

German director who created the technique of silhouette animation, preceding Disney by 10 years. Started out making titles for movies and moved on to make her own animated feature, The Adventures of Prince Achmed, in 1926! As for the rest of her career, well - watch the short.

Claire Parker (1906-1981)

Created the “pinscreen” animation technique, where 240,000 tiny metal rods were manually manipulated in and out of a board in order to create an animation – think tweaking pixels by hand. She and she alone owned the patent on it.

Alison de Vere (1927-2001)

One of the first women to work in British animation, and was design director for The Yellow Submarine. She went on to create many animated shorts at a commercial studio, winning prizes for virtually almost every single one of them. She is often credited as Britain’s first female animation auteur. 

(much credit must go to cartoonbrew for posting about this in the first place - thanks, y’all!)
