The Right Column

Fourth of November

I was looking at my web page sreen and noticed that the headline for this column was 'forth of October' so I thought, why not do a quick update.

The plans I had for these pages were to make them much easier to edit, but I never took it farther, I guess it's good for what I need. If I make it too easy I make myself a target, of a kind. All that is belong to us was once invented by someone else mentality, or other such paranoia.

I've spent a lot of time studying bash and process, and that morphed into a study of Python, and animation has always been an interest of mine. But without a team effort I think the product might prove to be . . . not as awesome as if with a like minded team, all with different skills. Even a 6 and a half minute thing is an awful lot of story board. I've been studying Pink Panther animation, which is Hollywood studio quality stuff (from the mind 1960's) and what I see is a terseness of visual form that, in close up, tells a better story than if they'd put in too much detail. Even though it's just a few strokes and some fill, we know it's a bunny. Or sometimes The Pink Panther sticks his head out of something, and we know that there isn't any room for the rest of him. Or they wave a wand and suddenly transform the story. It's kind of an easy transition if everything can always change into anything you want it to change into. That was the them of a book called Harold and the Purple Crayon which was one of the earliest books I remember owning. (Pop on Top with the pages half torn out is another one. )

But isn't there an obligation to future young minds when one commits oneself to doing animated projects? Do we have an obligation to not full children up with false ideas? I only ask that question as a way to guage the respoders through the response. The best response to such is to be like 'OF course,' but then to realize that it's just bait, and explain that you understand that such questions are only asked so as to draw out a response in defense of not telling bullshit to children. The correct response, if you don't understand that it's is a test and passing the test . . . means that you don't give a wrong answer to an question that is obvious. If you answer the question wrong, you fail the test, just from that answer alone. There is no other item of importance that you need ot know. If you respond that, no, it's OK to give out falsehood and present hate and be a creep . . .

Only in a fiction would someone answer like that. But as well to much attention to other people's children is also a questionable method. Clearly the theme of turning a witch into a goodlooking female panther and then flying off with her like Samantha and a cartoon moon . . . gets a different response today. But one must understand the cultural context of the 'witch' or the 'gennee' (the magic person) in 1960's LA. The genre of 'instant success through a fortunate connection' is a common one in LA and Hollywood produced films. An earlier message was 'oh the troubles of all this success, and how we have squandered and frittered it all to be gone, and then deception of a fat-cat and getting wealthy all at once by agreeing to not do something to interfere with the fat-cat activity, and thus getting one's fortune back immediately (or making one that you never had before) and fallg in love in a weekend (which no one can deny can happen, but then being married by the end of the 2 hr movie, which in movie weeks is not even one (in the space inside the movie): so success comes by fly-by-night falling your 'feelze' and perticpating in a decption, that's Hollywood 1937 (myabe New York/ Conneticuit via Hollywood).

And so what is the Pink Pather's deal? Or Bugs Bunny's deal? Or any of the cartoon character's deals? There is a plot. You can study what it is. They have a moral story. You can see how it works through. In Pink Panther cartoons the Pink Panther is generally looking out for everyone else's well being, but he has no qualms snagging a magicians magic cape, (and the rabbit that lives in it!). And when his magic use of the cape makes a bull have two halfs! and thus go into a sad crying bout, Pink heals him with the very same cloak and makes the bull whole again. And the story ends and all are well. It all comes out well in the end.

At some Christmas, many years back, I was watching a Matt and Trey creation and it was Cartman in the forest with all these bunny deer and forest critters and Matt and Trey took it to a dark place, as tasteful as it can be done, in that scene. Now I think that is fine for adult cartoons, and I think it's really cool for the message that they give. It's a visual warning: you do have a moral obligation to not be a creep. If you audience is children you wouldn't, shouldn't dwell in such a space. And the dazed look of CArtman, at the end of his almost hullucinatory part, gives a message to the viewers. It's a visual commentary woven within the cartoon itself. And such things, maybe too sophisticated for children, might also prove rather difficult for children to comprehend, in comprehensible questions and 'what the . . . ' into a dark naptime that didn't need to be like that.

And then the other axis of it is to never do anything, never tell any stories, never use images to depict scenes, like a play, not make drawings, don't do graphics, never have a word to say, or an idea to share . . . clearly that's not what we want either, becuase if no one ever says anything to you or gives you anything to review, or toys to play with, you might wonder 'what am I doing to make them isolate me as such', not knowing how to phrase it, you'd maybe feel rejected? Can someone at least give me a comics section, so I can read stale day-old funnies? A time machine? did I get in a time machine? We don't have news papers anymore? No more comics? What do you me Jay and Silent Bob are just characters . . . . in a movie . . .
