Hollywood Art: System of sunnys

Billy has been analyzing all possible solutions to his problem with "Enemies, a Love Story," which was released on December 13, 1989, and "The War of the Roses," on December 8. He had a marathon of premieres and a tight schedule due to his responsibilities with Lux Comics. The upcoming months will present some of the company's most challenging releases.

Along with numerous production setbacks with Cartoon Network, he will have a special internship for ten days from December 1 to December 10, working day and night with top production teams for series production.

Though it may sound daunting, creating animated TV series requires documenting each frame, scene by scene, along with their movements. Different frames are created, and each frame consists of a series of drawings in motion. It's nearly thirty pages per second. Animated series are made by hand, forming a sequence.

The quality of the artist plays a significant role in producing the entire TV series. Since the 80s, animation, and production computers such as "CAPS (Computer Animation Production System)" have been used to streamline the process. This system involves a combination of hardware and software that animators and technicians use to work efficiently. It includes innovative scanners for digitizing hand-drawn images, digital painting software for coloring frames, and a composition system for combining different layers of animation and visual effects.

To animate in 2D, a high-definition digital scanner and specialized digital composition software are required. However, at the moment, Billy only knows of one company with such capabilities. Throughout the production process, he will explore different animation methods to help create potential masterpieces.

The negotiation with Betty Cohen, preceded by Anna and her father, could only take place if they met a minimum guaranteed investment. With a budget of fifteen million dollars, an excellent animated film can be made, and a series can meet all desired standards for its first 25 episodes.

It's a shame that he can't get more money out of that deal!

However, this is not his moment. In the future, what he wants is to build a solid foundation through all those renegade artists who want to make money and produce their favorite series in complex ways. There's no point in doing the same thing if you can improve it—you just have to make it better. With a dedicated approach, he can achieve great things.

Warner Media decided to invest exactly fifteen million dollars to produce the "Yuyu/Hakushu Ghost Report" series, adapting the comic work and manga into anime, while removing unnecessary details. In ten years, he can complete an adaptation of the entire series, as long as he has the necessary resources and the willingness to do it.

-You can purchase the rights to the work ten years later and reclaim the film rights for each series for $500,000, but you cannot broadcast the series on any competing network for the next ten years. - Thomas said.

-Billy, remember that you have to pay close attention to everything your grandfather tells you, - said Thomas Carson.

-Yes, Dad and I'll also take care of Grandpa,"-said Billy.

-Well, good luck, and make the most of your time. Professionals in the industry will teach you, and it will be your decision whether you want to continue your career as an animator at CalArts,- said Thomas.

-Yes, sir, I'll do my best! - exclaimed Billy.

-Ah, stop bothering the boy, Thomas. Children grow up, and it's normal, -mentioned Grandfather Richard Carson.

-Father, very timely. Do you have your medication? Mom said she wrote down the times you have to take them. Billy, it's in the morning and at night, make sure he takes them. He tends to forget and he needs them to alleviate his blood pressure issues,- said Thomas.

-Since when do you listen to your mother? - Richard Carson replied, with a scolding expression.

-Father, since it's good for your health. If you need money, you can call me. Billy has some dollars, and the folks at Hanna-Barbera will help you with any difficulties you have, - said Thomas.

-Yes, yes. See you in ten days, dear son, - Richard said.

-Well, good luck to both of you, -said Thomas.

Airport traffic is one of the most stressful places a person can be, with constant delays for those who arrive on time for their flight, and punctual flights for those who arrive late to catch their flight. These are the ironies of private transportation.

They boarded their flight to Los Angeles, California, on a small, crowded plane, understanding the hatred people have for flying and why it's preferable to drive for six hours straight without rest on the road.

-Well, a gentleman will pick us up at the airport and take us to the animation studios, Billy. Your grandfather will handle the issues with the hotel. Your father reserved a room at the Ramada Plaza for ten days. I'll pick you up around 3:00, - said his grandfather.

That's how a young man dressed in a suit said, waiting at the entrance with a sign that read Billy Carson. A cliché but quite practical in this cellphone-free era.

-You must be the Carsons, - the man mentioned.

-That's correct,-  replied Richard.

- Well, follow me this way. I'll take you to the studios. I've been assigned as your guide for today, so if you have anything to say, feel free to mention it," -said the young man.

-Oh, it's a pleasure. I was thinking of renting a car, - said Richard.

- It's not necessary. According to the hotel where you're staying, you can take a bus that takes about 10 to 15 minutes. It departs from the studio itself. It's also common for someone to give you a ride to the hotel if you're at the studios, - mentioned the young man.  - But I can take you to a car rental place if you'd like, although parking will likely be an issue for you, considering the few days you'll be in Los Angeles. -

-Well, this old man will stay around West Hollywood, walking a bit and at the hotel bar, - Richard said.

-Grandpa, don't worry. The hotel has some activities, and there are places all over Los Angeles. You can find things to do while your grandson is studying, - said Billy.

-Oh, your grandpa always finds something to do, - Richard said.

The studio came into view, and Billy felt a rush of excitement inside him, like a child opening a Christmas present. It was time to dive headfirst into this industry that promised so many interesting things. Despite being undervalued, it could evoke impressive sensations in those who experienced their childhood or sought something to identify with.

-Well, have fun and don't cause any trouble. Grandpa will be waiting for you in the lobby at 5:00 pm so we can do something together, -  Richard said.

Billy said his goodbyes from the entrance, and his grandpa stuck his head out of the window, giving him a shout of encouragement.
