1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: For me, making movies is a lot like magic. My

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: favorite part is actually animating the figures and bringing them

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: to life, and I also love painting and cutting and

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: drawing and gluing. That's all super exciting to me. If

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: you're lucky enough to do work that feels like play,

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: I think that's everybody's dream. So I'm just living my

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: dream right now. I think the best tool if you

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: want to start its paper cutter, is curiosity. There's no

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: one way to make a paper figure, there's no one

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: way to make a paper film, but there's only one you.

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: That's Julian Currie. He's a film producer and an animator,

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: which means he uses both computers and his own hands

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: to create the most amazing puppets and bring them to life.

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 3: With his art. He teaches us.

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: That we can go anywhere with the magic of imagination.

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: Welcome to Growing Up the Lingo Kids podcast. It encourages

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: kids to dream big and discover who they want to be.

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Join us on an epic adventure to uncover the secrets

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: behind awesome skills, cool hobbies, and the incredible journeys of

20
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: people who followed their dreams. In today's episode, Louise and

21
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: I will play with some cool toys and do some

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: paper cutting to make our very own movie.

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: Let's begin why, Okay, So if I put this here

24
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: and then I move this guy over here, it should work.

25
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: Oh so close. Okay, let me try again.

26
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: Hey, Louise, what are you up to?

27
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: Oh? Hi, Emilie. I'm trying to make a movie with

28
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: my toys.

29
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: Oh fun.

30
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I watched the movie Toy Story yesterday and I

31
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: loved it, so I thought maybe I can make my

32
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: own movie my own toys. But final talk, that's a

33
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: great idea, Yeah, but I can't make you work. Every

34
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: time I try to make Sir MetalMan move his sword,

35
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: I try to hide my hands so the phone camera

36
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: won't see it. But it doesn't look good.

37
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Oh. I think I know what your problem is. You do, Louise,

38
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: Did you know that the word movies is actually short

39
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: for something else?

40
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: No? I didn't know that.

41
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Yep, it's short for moving pictures. And that's because the

42
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: movie is actually a very very long series of pictures.

43
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: So when you watch a movie, you're actually seeing many

44
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: pictures very quickly.

45
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: Oh like hundreds of pictures.

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: Well, more like around one hundred and fifty thousand give

47
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: or take. For every second in a movie, you see

48
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: twenty four different pictures. So if a movie lasts around

49
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: one hundred minutes, well that's a lot.

50
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: Of pictures exactly. Wait, I think I get it. I

51
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: should just take a whole bunch of pictures.

52
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: You got it. You take a picture and then you

53
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: move your character just a little bit, then take another one,

54
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: then move it again, and so on and so forth.

55
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: That sounds like a lot of work.

56
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: Oh it is. Feature length animated movies can take years

57
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: to finish.

58
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: I better get started. Then.

59
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: I actually know someone who can help you make your

60
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: dream come true?

61
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: Really, who is it, Emily?

62
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: His name is Julian Currie, and he's gonna be our

63
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: very special guest for today's talking game show.

64
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: What does he do?

65
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: Something very unique? He turns puppets into films that just

66
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: tell wonderful stories.

67
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: Wow, puppets like this school puppa right here. Look, I

68
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: can put my hand in it and go like, hi,

69
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: every what do you call the squirrel that goes to space?

70
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: Hmm?

71
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: I give up an astronut.

72
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: Astro nut?

73
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: I get it.

74
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: Well, Julian's puppets are a little bit different from yours.

75
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: They're actually made of paper.

76
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: Hold on, I've never seen paper puppets before.

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 2: Julian Curie makes his movies at home and he works

78
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: with actual paper. One of his paper movies is called

79
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: Gruff Gruff.

80
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: That's sounds like something that Maxie would say. And what's

81
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: it about.

82
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: It's about a super spy and I think Julian can

83
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: explain it way better than me. Check this voice note

84
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 2: he sent just for you for me.

85
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: Oh, I want to know everything about it.

86
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: So Graphic is a short film about a superspy who

87
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: risks her life all around the world with all these

88
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 4: sorts of daring missions just to get her dad to

89
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: say that he loves her, or to say that he's

90
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 4: proud of her. Except her dad is a very quiet

91
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: gruff man. She realizes that her dad has loved her

92
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 4: all along and has been so proud of her all along,

93
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 4: He just didn't use words. If you want to see

94
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: how he didn't show it, you'll have to watch the short.

95
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: Film, Oh, super spy meets grumpy Dad.

96
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: I like it, And you know this is Julian's favorite

97
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: project too.

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: So how do you know Julian Emily?

99
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: Well, Julian is so good at paper cutting. He has

100
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: an amazing YouTube channel in which he shows how he

101
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: brought the Super Spy and her Dad to life.

102
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: Oh, and how does he do that with magic?

103
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: Actually he uses animation, just like we talked about before.

104
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: But honestly, it's very much like magic if you ask me.

105
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I can't wait to meet him. Maybe he can

106
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 3: help me I animation for my toys. We'll see.

107
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: Julian just messaged me and he will be here in

108
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,559
Speaker 2: five just enough time for me to show you something

109
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 2: about the wonderful history of animation.

110
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: What are we waiting for? Let's go.

111
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: There's one more thing all animated movies must have.

112
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 3: And what's that?

113
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: Emily Well, to find out, do we need to go

114
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: all the way back to nineteen twenty six.

115
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: Wow, that's almost one hundred years ago. Yep.

116
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: Back then, one of the first animated movies ever came

117
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: to life, The Adventures of Prince ahmed by a filmmaker

118
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: who was quite ahead of her time. Her name was

119
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: Latte Reineger, and this film was made with black pieces

120
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: of paper. You could only see shadows moving on the screen.

121
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 3: Oh, I can make canshadows. Look, I can make a bird.

122
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: Who that's right? But you know what that film had

123
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: no sound and no music.

124
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: Wait, so there's no talking or anything.

125
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: Nope, only paper on screen. But even if it had

126
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: no sound or music, it did have something that made

127
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: it special for people to watch. Can you guess what

128
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: that was? I guess it had adventures and a prince bingo.

129
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: This film told a story. It's about a prince who

130
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: saves a woman from evil beasts.

131
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I get it. If we want to make an

132
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: animated movie with my toys, we need to tell a

133
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: story with them.

134
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: Yes, and Julian can definitely help us with that.

135
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: Let's go.

136
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: Hi there, dear listeners, Welcome to our talking game show,

137
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: and please welcome Julian Currie. Julian is an amazing animator

138
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 2: and paper cut filmmaker. He has reached millions of viewers

139
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: worldwide with his creations. Today, we'll start with a little

140
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: chat and we'll do something extra fun for our game show.

141
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: We'll put Julian's creativity to the test to see what

142
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: amazing movie ideas he can come up with on the spot.

143
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: Hi Julian, I'm Luis. Nice to meet you. Your puppets

144
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: look just like toys to me. What were your favorite

145
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: toys when you were a kid.

146
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: Honestly, it was any toy that had the best articulation.

147
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that word is the most

148
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: joints on a figure. If their wrists could move, if

149
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: their head could move, if their torso could move, their shoulders.

150
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: I hated toys that could not move if they were

151
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: just solid plastic, and I couldn't bend their arms and

152
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: their legs into cool poses.

153
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: Ooh like action figures. Yes, superhero toys now, Julian, you

154
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: use paper puppets instead of plastic or plush toys in

155
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: your movies, and you make them yourself. But why do

156
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 2: you use paper?

157
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: Yeah? It can break and if it gets what you

158
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: can use it anymore, and the wind can blow it away.

159
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: I love paper because it's all around us, whether that's

160
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: in cereal boxes or old homework or newspapers, or if

161
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: it's the stuffing in the packages that come in the mail.

162
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: It's all around us. So it makes it so easy

163
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: to find and so easy to play with and build.

164
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: You almost don't have to buy any because it's just

165
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: all around us. I recycle so much, probably too much.

166
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: I have too many piles of junk.

167
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I'll keep my cereal boxes next time.

168
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: Great idea, Luise. We have a lot of stuff at

169
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: home that we can use to make magic happen. Speaking

170
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: of which, Julian, I heard you used to be a magician.

171
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: Is that true?

172
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: Uh?

173
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: You know, as a kid, I always loved escaping to

174
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: new worlds. And I saw a magician do some tricks

175
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: at a shop one day when I was younger, and

176
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: he was surrounded by this crowd and just the awe

177
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: and wonder that was that happened in that room, and

178
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: I said, Wow, that's what I wish that I could do.

179
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: So I bought a few magic tricks, I got some kids,

180
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: and I started doing magic at school. And I was

181
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: able to see that all and wonder in my friend's eyes,

182
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: or not even in my friends, other people's strangers. It

183
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: was such a way to connect with people who I

184
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: didn't even know by bringing them joy and wonder.

185
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: And how is making movies similar to doing magic at school?

186
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: When you're making a movie or you're telling a story,

187
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: you're doing the exact same thing. So I was able

188
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: to bring a lot of that magic knowledge into making

189
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: movies because I have that same desire. I want to

190
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: bring joy and wonder and awe to people when I

191
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: tell a story.

192
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 3: Wow, Julian, I can't wait to tell my friends to

193
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: save all their cereal boxes too, so we can make

194
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: our own puppets and make movies with them. So what

195
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: can kids like me learn from animators like you?

196
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: I think the best tool if you want to start

197
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: as paper cutter is curiosity. Looking at artwork that's all

198
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: around you, looking at movies, looking at shows that you like,

199
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: looking at the places that you like, the people that

200
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: you like, and trying to just bring that into paper world.

201
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: There's no one way to make a paper figure, there's

202
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: no one way to make a paper film, but there's

203
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: only one you. And so if you stay curious and

204
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: you blend all those things into a really cool story,

205
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: that's going to bring a lot of people joy. It's

206
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: worth trying using cardboard or colorful paper, or posters or

207
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: cereal boxes, small scissors, big scissors, hot glue, Elmer's glue, whatever.

208
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: I think sometimes play and curiosity is the final product.

209
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: That's true.

210
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: Antipators can use lots of different and creative tools to

211
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: tell their stories.

212
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 3: I have all those things at home already. I have

213
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: an orange cereal box. Maybe I can cut it into

214
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: a zigzag shape and that I can move it around

215
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: and use it as fire in the background.

216
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: Ooh, great idea, Luise. By the way, ready for some

217
00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: game show playtime.

218
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 3: I'm super ready, Emily. Today we're playing a very short

219
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 3: game called what if?

220
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: And what is this game about?

221
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: I'll say what if? Then I'll share a movie idea,

222
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 3: and then Julian will tell us how he would turn

223
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: that idea into a movie.

224
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's exciting. I like it.

225
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: Let's begin, okay, Julian. So here's idea number one? What

226
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: if I want to make a short animated film about

227
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: a talking deck of cards?

228
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: Oh?

229
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 4: Wow?

230
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: What's really cool about a deck of cards? And I

231
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: used to be a magician, so I've been around decks

232
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: of cards a lot. Is that they have an opening

233
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: flap and that kind of acts like a lip in

234
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: a way. You can glue some google eyes to it.

235
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: You can draw some eyes on it.

236
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: I would have a little card with googly eyes, me too.

237
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: Okay. Second story option? What if I wanted to make

238
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 3: a short animated film about a dog who's best friends

239
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 3: with a cat.

240
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: Wow, well, right off the bat, I love the story.

241
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: I have three cats. I don't have any dogs right now.

242
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: But I do love animals, so I totally support anyone

243
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: making animal puppets. So I think my first step would

244
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: be drawing your cat and drawing your dog. Then step

245
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: two would be finding the best cardboard or paper that

246
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: can hold the paint and the color of your critters

247
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: that you want. You can use cardboard from boxes that

248
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: come to your door in packages, So if you want

249
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: in your cat to be white and your dog to

250
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: be black or the other way around, it's not gonna

251
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: wrinkle a lot like it would if you just painted

252
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: right onto paper.

253
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: There's a lot we.

254
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: Can take from this. Making an exciting story is key

255
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: for animation, and giving your character's personality is a must. Julian,

256
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: Before we let you go, any last tips for our listeners.

257
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: I would just urge anyone who doesn't know how to

258
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: do something and it's they see something that looks cool,

259
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: just try it, because that's how everybody started. My first

260
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: steps into it. We're not good. I did a lot

261
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: of experiments, but you know, after a couple of years,

262
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: I had a finished movie that I could share with people,

263
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: and that brought people a lot of joy.

264
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: Excellent advice. We're almost never going to get things right

265
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: the first time.

266
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, like me right now with my movie. But that's okay.

267
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: That's how you learn exactly.

268
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: Julian, thank you so much for joining us. We had

269
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: so much fun. So, Louis, did Julian give you any

270
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: ideas for your own movie?

271
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: I think I have a story ready for my Sir

272
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: MetalMan and Doctor Dynomight. I can't wait to take pictures

273
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: of it and put all together.

274
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: I love your enthusiasm. We can have a premiere screening

275
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: and our very special Go Forward Lab movie theater.

276
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: You have a movie theater.

277
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 4: We do.

278
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: We love building fun and new gadgets, but it's a

279
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: lot of work and sometimes we just want to take

280
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: a break, sit back and watch a good movie, you know.

281
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: And can we have popcorn?

282
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,479
Speaker 2: Louise, it's a movie theater, of course we can have popcorn.

283
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: Yes, So, Louise.

284
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: The Go Forward Labs a movie theater is very special

285
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: because they can take all the pictures you've taken from

286
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: your short film and played them all together so we

287
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: can see how they look in movement.

288
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:33,479
Speaker 3: I hope I took enough pictures.

289
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: Wow, Louise, did you build that set all by yourself?

290
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: Oh? I love it? Yes, Oh look, there's sur MetalMan

291
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: drawing the sword. That was a lot harder than I

292
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: thought it would be.

293
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: But it looked great. Oh and there's the evil t Rex.

294
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: That's Doctor Dynamite.

295
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: How did you make him spit fire like that?

296
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: I got this idea from the interview with Julian. I

297
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 3: wanted to add fire to the background. Guess what I

298
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: did exactly the orange cardboard leftover.

299
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 2: Well, it looks really cool. Congratulations, Louise, can't wait to

300
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: see your next movie. So what did you learn about

301
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: being an animator from Julian?

302
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 3: I learned that animators use their super imaginations, They learn

303
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: lots of cool tricks to make their films. Their stories

304
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: can make people feel all sorts of feelings, and they

305
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: put a ton of love into their work.

306
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: Thanks for tagging along on this episode of growing up

307
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: about the magic behind animation. Until next time, keep that

308
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: spark of curiosity up, dear listeners, Louise, are you curious
