The Wizard of Speed and Time
A few days back when I posted some Pixelation Lisa commented that "The Wizard of Speed and Time" was worth a mention, and I found a clip from it on Youtube. Its a whole feature length film that tells the story (from my fading memory) of a lonely animator who transforms himself with the magic of animation so that he can get his girl and make an amazing movie..........
Waaaah!?!?!?
Well its further evidence that great animators don't necessarily make good story writers (just my opinion), the animation is pretty cool though. Here we get to see the Wizard speeding around the world to a cheesy 80's soundtrack, defacing landmarks left right and center, and whisking away with strange women from the side of the road (surely that's illegal).
What a guy!

don't forget that he also did all his own visual effects, and this is in the 80's. No Premiere, or AfterEffects here!
It's true that its quite an achievement. I remember ooohing and ahhhhing when I first saw it, its amazing how we take things for granted now isn't it.
This is just proof that you MUST get constructive feedback on your work so you can edit out all the lamo stuff!
but hey...if you have a dream, don't let anyone stop you
