On the Friday and the Monday we Mike L. Murphy came to give us some masterclasses.
His masterclasses were really interesting and above all, motivating. It immediatally got me to want to go to work on my stuff and make it look great. Plus, he worked on lots of big studio's, but he told us he applied for jobs over a 100 times before he really got into the industry. That gave me some courage to stay focusing. Just work harder, and keep holding on.
He first told about his work and his time at CalArts, also about his film with which he applied to the studio's: Pig Out (made in 1997):
With this he told us how important it was to add time. Always give the character time to think. And he told a lot about the "want", always let your character have a want. That's what makes us be alive and how you can get an emotional curve. The first day he told most about acting and comedy. Too bad we only had class untill 13.00h 'cause it was really interesting. But in the afternoon he did some more "lectures" in the workshops, live animating.
The next day the biggest part of the story was about comedy, marketing and selling yourself, be a brand. I really learned so much from this. When I got home a made a few important changes to my website and asked for some feedback on my businesscard and adjusted that one to. Finally got some businesscards printed when I got back home, yay!
Later on in my blog I'll post some more information about Mike L. Murphy, since I joined his Monthly Mentoring lessons. You can find some more information about him and his lessons overhere.
