This Week's Blog: Why Animation Can Take Your Story Anywhere
This week's Week 2 blog, written by Stage 32 Thought Leader Evan Anglin, dives into the world of animation as a medium (not a genre), how it opens up creative possibilities that live-action can't, and what filmmakers of every discipline can take from animation's approach to storytelling. Whether you're an animator, writer, director, or just someone curious about the medium, there's insight here for you.
This Week's Challenges:
Complete all 3 challenges by Sunday, July 12th, to be entered to win a FREE Stage 32 Webinar to continue your craft or industry education. Winners will be announced in next Monday's Week 3 blog!
- Comment on the Week 2 Blog with your biggest takeaway from Evan's insights, a question you'd love his perspective on, or a project you're working on that this advice applies to.
- Post in the Stage 32 Animation Lounge and share an animated film, series, or short that inspires you. What worked? What surprised you? Whether you're an animator, writer, director, or just someone who loves the medium, share what stood out and why. Bonus points if you can include a video link, trailer, scene, or image so we can see what you're talking about!
- Then post in the Stage 32 Filmmaking Lounge to update us on what you're currently building, learning, or working on. Last week, you told us your goals, so this week tell us how you're working toward them! Use this as a chance to share your current challenges and interests, or to check in with the community on your progress.
Remember: Every week that you complete all 3 challenges enters you to win the grand prize. Participate all 5 weeks and you'll be entered 5 times for a FREE DaVinci Resolve Studio License!

I summarize events, weekends, and vacation periods into little ad hoc dramas all the time. I guess that's kind of like a musician humming music throughout the day.
