An Alternative to the Studio System?: Indie Animation Forges Ahead [Part 3]

continued from part 2. Split because Tumblr claimed there was an error in the post.

Just as exciting are the shows by Black creators. I've mentioned a few in this post already, including Creative Theory, Brandon Wright, Wisdom Nunn, Lucha Vandross, Nya, and Pia. For one, there's a 2D animated series named Jumbie, produced by a small studio in Trinidad and Tobago, GemGfx Animation Studios. Originally scheduled for release in February of this year, the Jumbie pilot was delayed to February 2023, because the studio was working on a music video for "A Better Tomorrow", a song by Mark Loquan, featuring Terri Lyons, which came out in April. With that, Jumbie is going forward.

Reprinted from Pop Culture Maniacs, my History Hermann blog, and Wayback Machine. This was the eleventh article I wrote for Pop Culture Maniacs. This post was originally published on July 15, 2022.

In addition, there is an animated hiphop musical entitled Battu, which is scheduled to become an animated series on Cartoon Network. The latter has also picked up a show drawing from Nigerian culture entitled Iyanu: Child of Wonder to be overseen by a Black-owned animation studio, Lion Forge Animation. Before Disney Branded Television was headed by Ayo Davis, a Black woman, it agreed to pick up Iwájú. The latter is an Africanfuturist series set in Lagos, Nigeria. Disney is co-producing it with Kugali Media, a Pan-African entertainment company.

There are many other Black indie creators. There's Vampire Nwt's suspense mystery show entitled Blackwater Creek. It has queer Afro-Latine leads named after magic, monsters, and fruits! Even more exciting is Captain Zero. It is an action drama about a social media-obsessed superhero named Captain Zero who "must find the cause of his depression-fueled blackouts in order to save his city and himself." The series is created by a Black non-binary illustrator, filmmaker, and writer, Lamard Cher-Aimé. It is produced by a Black-owned animation company, Cutting Edge Animation.

This animated series tackles "mental health in the Black community, identity," according to Cher-Aimé. Currently, five seasons, 4 specials, and a feature film for Captain Zero are planned. The show's GoFundMe states that with enough money it can turn the show into a reality. The show, and another produced by Cutting Edge Animation, Space Friends, are often promoted by Cher-Aimé. They often ask their followers to name show characters, and showcase series art and related merchandise. Interviews, Q&As, and more further pull in potential viewers on the show's YouTube channel.

Recently, a short five-minute film entitled "Captain Zero: Into The Abyss", funded in part by Chromatic Black's Ida B. Wells fund, aired. It stars the Black trans actress Angelica Ross, who is the film's executive producer. The film focuses on a therapy session of Xerxes Hughes, aka Captain Zero, with Dr. Niobe (voiced by Ross). It was posted on the show's YouTube channel. It is within a video that is about 1 hour, 50 minute video, complete with mental health professionals, Ross, Cher-Aimé, and others talked about the film, Black representation in animation and comics, mental health, and many other topics.

These series prove what Ashley Nichols said: that "anyone can tell an amazing story." It also seems to prove that people with vision and passion can make "god tier animation". Amazing animation doesn't always need a "studio behind it with a million dollars." There is no clear answer for making indie animation viable. After all, people can still steal content of an indie animation and profit off it.

Even so, some have supported waiting longer for series to come to fruition, giving those producing it more time to rest, polish their ideas, and make the shows better. Furthermore, there is no doubt that corporate media fails to represent many aspects of society, with indie animation making cooler content despite the need for funds. There are the continual challenges of people not taking animation seriously.

Unsurprisingly, there have been calls for a website for indie animated series which works like Webtoon. The Animation for Adults site proposed an awards show just for indie animation. Creator Nation promoted a Discord server for indie creators, indie animated shows, and indie comics. Some noted news of Netflix's war with its animation department by letting go many of its animation employees. Many creators responded sharing their series or pilots in the process. It has led more toward indie animation.

Creators have seen indie animation as the way to go. Some said that creators should do promos for other indie animations or said that now is the most important time to support, and follow, indie projects. This is coupled with the realization (and recognition) that those in the animation industry don't have stable jobs.

Then, there's Project City, created by Rad Sechrist, well-known as the showrunner of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. In February, I argued that Project City has "the potential to expand the indie animation space beyond...often crowdfunded series on YouTube". I stated that it allows for "more independence for creators in the series, movies, music, or shows they create." While it is amazing that Sechrist is funding, and creating, his next film (The Brave War), co-created with Andra Gunter and Daniel Rojas, independently, progress on the platform is somewhat slow.

There was lukewarm reception to his idea that people who buy shares in a project "have the right to make and sell merch" but have to "drop profits back into our system that distributes to all IP owners". Some about the potential use of NFTs, which Sechrist realized was a good point. He is strongly against NFTs and for good reason. Others called it "iffy", said the execution could be tricky, or worried it could set a bad precedent. On the other hand, there were those more receptive to Sechrist's idea.

Project City now emphasizes its role as an animation school, including 15-minute lectures on various topics, and is now defined as a "project based platform for learning how to create animation." Back in March, Sechrist said they are continuing with F-IP (fractional IP), where people could buy shares of an IP, but are not using Blockchain or NFT, and stated they would be launching it within the next month. That did not happen. The idea continues to be developed. A tweet from the project's account used the #FIP hashtag on June 24. But, there haven't been many more updates beyond that, as Sechrist last mentioned it in a tweet on January 7.

On the other hand, on June 18, Sechrist said that they have been wanting to take steps toward making Project City "a streaming platform of creators learning and sharing their process/knowledge." He added that Project City takes "no ownership of IP people post". Anyone can post and delete any video they have posted. In addition, he said they were considering allowing people to post 1 minute clips on the site. Ultimately, Project City may be part of what Avara describes, giving people a platform who wouldn't have it "in the traditional studio setting". More fundamentally, it is part of allowing creators to share stories on their own terms.

Althea McNish Textile designer Althea McNish died aged 95 in 2020. McNish was responsible for some of the 20th century’s most memorable printed fabrics. A hugely influential figure in the world of interior design and fashion, she was also the first woman from the West Indies to rise to international prominence in her field. She claimed to see everything “through a tropical eye” - her greatest contribution was to infuse designs created in Britain with a feel of the Caribbean. Her work from the late 1950s onwards appealed to young consumers who were desperate to move beyond the greyness of the immediate post-second world war years,. Right from the beginning of her career she attracted commissions to design fabrics for big names such as ‘Liberty’ and ‘Heal’s’. McNish worked on dress fabrics for Zika Ascher’s textile company, who supplied them to French fashion houses, including ‘Dior’. Her work was regularly featured in glossy magazines such as ‘Vogue’ and ‘Harper’s Bazaar’. Non-fashion commissions also came her way. McNish designed murals featuring pineapples and pomegranates for restaurants on the ocean-going liner ‘SS Oriana’ (1959), velvet hangings for ‘British Rail’s’ Euston offices in London (1969) and a banner for London’s 'Design Centre’ (1981). Whatever she worked on, McNish’s style brought together natural imagery and abstract forms. Hers was a distinctive interpretation of English artistic tradition allied to a Caribbean-inspired colour palette. Born in Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, McNish was the only child of Margaret (nee Bourne), a dressmaker, and her husband, Joseph McNish, a teacher and writer. An enthusiastic painter from an early age, while studying at ‘Bishop Anstey’ high school she joined the ‘Trinidad Art Society’ and had her first work exhibited at the age of 16.

One little bookshop repairs despair in search of books of Nobel Laureate

LiTTscapes - Landscapesof Fiction which treats with Naipaul  and hundreds of other fictional works finds its place among a tribute to Nobel Laureate Sir Vidia Naipaul at Signature Stationary & Business Works

I was despairing. I was searching the bookshops to replace copies from my Naipaul collection that were borrowed and never returned. In any real country, the bookshops would be all over themselves to outdo the other in their displays of the works of the Nobel Laureate spawned by on and on its soils who had just passed. But not here. The biggest chain had none. It only stocked one that was on the school's booklist, I am told. After all, school books is the biggest market and reading is about commerce, eh, and well, the parents filling their children's booklist took those so there were none left, I am told. A few others had a few copies that had lingered in the back of stock rooms, and a couple that had remained on their shelves. I dreaded to ask for the works of the other Nobel Laureate, whose primary form was poetry and drama.  I got a description from someone of what the shelves for local books in those stockrooms looked like, smaller than the little free libraries my friends were launching in different districts For The Love Of Reading.  I know from experience with my own books that one has to beg and plead with the local bookshops to stock one's book. If one is lucky they may take one or two copies and unless one is are constantly watching their shelves once those are gone, well...

The bookshops borrow the shortsightedness of the education system and they both feed into the myopia of the society, chasing cheap paperbacks, and that only when they are in fad. I had long tried to stop shedding tears at the unending spiral or about despairing about the numbness about the institutions that are  in name only. Hundreds of articles and book reviews and interviews and even a penning dozens of episodes of the television programme Booktalk and the society is yet still too deeply buried in the sands of ignorance. It is something tragic to have to add bookshops to the list of those institutions. The ones proactively promoting a culture of reading are less than the fingers on one hand. And then I came upon this that moved me to tears. Happy tears. One bookshop. It is not even a bookshop really, but labels iself a stationary supply store. 'We have no other branches. This is our only one,' the woman deputising for the owner told me. One bookshop had on its display, a tribute to the Nobel Laureate, Sir Vidia Naipaul, a photo encased, a few flowers below in reverence, and his books around. A handmade banner urges, "Support Our Local Writers". Below the photo was what moved me even more: at the base of the photo, and surrounded with the copies of the books written by Sir Vidia Naipaul was my compendium of the literary imagination - LiTTscapes - Landscapes of Fiction: the book hailed as the quintessential go to book for everything one wants to know about the literature of Trinidad and Tobago. How the works and thoughts of Sir Vidia Naipaul fits into and was born from and seeps into and out of the lifestyles and Landscapes of Fiction from Trinidad and Tobago. 

Thanks to the little corner bookshop, Signature Stationary and Business Works in the Valpark Plaza where you can get a few Naipaul books and the book that puts him and the hundred others of our fiction writers in contexts of landscapes, culture, lifestyles. We are such a long way from the societies where bookshops are not only commercial entities but institutions of learning, relaxation and exchange, and we may never get there as the local indifference encourages and forces one to seek reading needs from online sources. We continue our journeys into the imagination this month of Patriots, with our LiTTributes to the NaTTion in our year of LiTTributes to the LaureaTTes at home and abroad in recognition of our distinguished literary and cultural heritage. Get your copy of LiTTscapes, and ask about LiTTours, LiTTeas and LiTTributes and how you can become a partner, sponsor or collaborator in our legacies of learning to redefining the role and function of the writer and literature in society.

Sexypink - DCFA Graduating Degree Class of 2023

[sexypinkon]

Sexypink - Carnival shows aplenty.

[sexypinkon]

Sexypink - The UWI Visual Arts Unit has partnered with two venues to host an exhibition of art and design works by students in their final year of the Visual Arts Degree programme. 

The show will be open to the public at both the Art Society of Trinidad and Tobago (ASTT), and Medulla Art Gallery, from April 29 to May 6.

This is the first in-person exhibition by the Visual Arts Unit since the onset of the pandemic. With this in mind, the show is titled “LIVE.” Audiences can enjoy direct interaction with creative works at both venues. The word “live” also suggests that the art and design on display address current, pressing issues in society.

Viewers can expect a range of art forms, from painting and sculpture to video and sound installation.

CHIAROSCURO beautifully sums up much of the atmosphere that one sees in the work of Martin Superville. Do try to go see the show or to check the Trinidad and Tobago Art Society web page for more information.
