In light of all this, I'd like to offer my services as an animator. My signature is a link to my student film online. It's slightly less than 6 minutes long. It shouldn't take up too much of your day.
If there is a position open at the studio Dark Angel is working at, I'm available.
:)
I do wish you the best of luck.

Y'know Wade got me thinking, as Wade and others here are wont to do.
Sincerity is a odd little skill that seems to be harder to learn for some people these days.
All around us are these mixed messages about validation, accomplishments, success and self-worth, and its pretty clear some people get it all mixed up.
I'm sure that some folks that come onto sites like this get intimidated by the posters that have a great deal of experience. There's an inevitable comparson between skill levels and successes and I'm sure it can lead to more than a little "penis-envy".
Penis-envy is just so much bullshit.
Everyone starts out as nothing.
The only advantage someone more experienced has is that they started climbing the mountain sooner.
That can be simply by virtue of having been born years before.
People tend to forget that.
Egos are the best and worst thing a artist has. The best thing because fluffing an ego in the right way can get them to cough up heretofore unknown nuggets/secrets that can elevate a lesser talent. Egos can compell an artist to try to exceed their own best work, when faced with anothers best work. Ego's can reflect in the care and meticulous effort in a work.
The worst of an ego can emerge when a artist thinks he's above his audience or his peers. When an artist refuses to accept that his own effort may be weak compared to those around him.
Worse still, an ego can compell an artist to do insincere things to cover up their own weakness. Hey, denial and ego go hand in hand.
I've been a teacher for over a decade, and I took that path because I wanted to give back to the artform. It also taught me how little I know.
I did not do it to prop the vain or the lazy up--I have no time for them.
I have no time for insincerity either.
If someone throws something on to the table, and I sense that its not sincere I'm going to call it as that.
If I patronize them instead then I'm the one not being sincere.
I'll be pretty damn harsh with someone that I find has lied to me because they've just shown they cannot be trusted.
Why should I, or anyone else do otherwise?
Call it some tough love.
Even those folks without a fricken clue, the one's that just don't have talent and quite possibly never will, can get some of my time........as long as they are sincere and honest about what they are doing. What their talent level is at is irrelevant.
We all started out as nothing, remember?
Sincerity, like trust, takes a LONG time to re-establish once its lost.
I could careless what a person does, but WHAT KIND OF PERSON they are matters to me.
It blows my mind that there's still people from all walks that haven't reasoned something as simple as this out in their heads.
If someone doesn't know something, then learn so you know.
If someone wants to become something, then do so you truly become.
If someone wants to hide something of themselves from others, stop because you are only hiding from yourself.
There's nothing wise in what I've just said because I'm just repeating what's in all the life lessons that surround us.
:o I.....I don't know what to say...I'm speechless, you do care enough to educate me, grrr I am upset at the way I've behaved, I am not worthy of being here......but I did take every thing you said to heart, thank you for taking the time to care......I will learn and I WILL reveal my weakness or try to rectify it.....oh man, if only you had told me this sooner, then I wouldn't be in this situation.

this is really getting out of hand. i think your attention seeking is going too far. We arent friends, you dont look up to me, so stop saying patronising stuff like that.
secondly the only thing possibly true about what you have said is that you might be 17. thats bout it. i for one never believed you worked at WB even if you did it cant have been anything above intern
I never trusted anything you said simply coz of your use of language.it is so FAKE. Your disparaging comments to everyone and your manner of expression show a remarkable lack of maturity that you wouldnt expect in someone of your projected caliber.
6 college degrees? ha haha, i bet you are still in high school.
He's from Trinidad, if any of you ever bothered to look at profile pages
Believe me, we bothered. Trinidad is another possibility.
Hopefully it's not even important anymore. This whole thing seems to be winding down, despite Killjoy's blather.
I am still surprised that this thread even exists, you are the ones who kept it this long, I am long over this bickering, I was having fun with what HareDevil said until you came and flared me, if you don't like me, fine, you're only 3, I will not ignore you though because you haven't made me angry, cry or ashamed, people who make me do either I will respect them until the day I die.
Ken Davis thanks for your views, although this did not concern you, it was between me and 3 other members, Wade K, sorry again (for what it's worth) I meant no harm.....and I do not seek attention from strangers, because most of the time, you make me the centre of attention, by trying to make me a fool, but what ever, I still find you all entertaining, and I will have nothing to do with you both, so as long as you do not try to humiliate me....again.

Rozzco,i dont think 17 year olds are dumb and i never said so. All i said was that the character that Diemeras has built up for himself, the only thing that seems true is he is 17. everything is all lies. he is basically trolling for attention.
besides, i dont know anyone with 6 degrees( my uncle has 4 and he was in his mid 30s when he got done with them) period let alone at age 17.

"We all grow older, we do not have to grow up"--Archie Goodwin ( 1937-1998)
Let it be known that Diemeras originally crafted his first post in this thread to make it appear that it was from his MOMMY coming to his defense.
Now, I have seen the humiliating comments you have made about my son, [etc.]
He subsequently edited it to make is appear that they're his words.
So we're supposed to believe a fellow WB executive used Diemeras' account to pose as Diemeras' mommy in order to defend him (even though it takes about two minutes for someone to start their own account). We're supposed to believe that Diemeras then altered this guy's words to make it appear that they came from Diemeras. On top of all that, Diemeras says at the bottom of the post that he's honest, even though he admittedly changed another guy's words to make it sound like Diemeras said them.
This guy is an attention-starved liar and lunatic, folks. He should probably be banned, but - until that time - everyone might want to just add him to their ignore lists.

ok... I am totally lost here!! Have I just landed in an alternative reality? What happened to the mild mannered people from this forum with whom I enjoyed talking about ANIMATION so much? Am I wrong, but aren't we meant to be talking about our passion for animation in this forum?
Why has it turned into a soap opera? It has loads of villians and a poor lost soul... It sounds far too much like a Mexican soap opera? by the way, you can recognise the hero by their long blonde lock of hair?
To be honest, I don't care who's wrong or right, and I'm definatley not on the side of anyone, I really don't like drama.. I prefer "Feed the kitty" by chuck Jones. No one gets hurt there!!
So please with sugar on the top, bring back my animated friends!!!
Yeah, this is getting out of hand, and I'm surprised that one of the mods hasn't addressed the issue. Whether or not DDA has the job and credentials he says he has, there's really no reason to be beating on him the way this board has been in the last few days (and I count myself among the guilty).
If he is a whiz-kid executive developing a series at WB, then good for him. And if he's just a deluded teen with a very active fantasy life, so what? How are his alleged fabrications harming any of us in any way?
He says he's gone until he has something he can show. If so, then I look forward to his return, and to seeing what he has to show. If he hangs around and continues to brag the way he has, then take on those specific instances when they occur. By bashing him the way we have, we're really only providing the attention you've correctly stated that he's after.
P.S Wade K...I never run and hide, it's not in my nature, I'm a warrior and I never give up.
Even when you are fighting a losing battle? I am certainly not trying to flame you or anything here, but this just cannot be won. Just a suggestion, as I would hate to see you waste more time than you already have, when you could be working on deals to buy-out ABC Family Channel or Star Network or something similar.
DSB... You ruined the surprise... Hehehehehe

"Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard" - Paul Simon
Canada and the USA have laws regarding contracts with minors.
A 17 year old studio exec is absurd because how do you hold someone accountable who is underage and not obliged to honour the contract they have signed? Our fraud here didn't bring up the one exclusion to this from the outset.
He simply doesn't know what he's talking about, and never has.
I know... Oh, and let's not forget the US UNIONS! I think that in order to work in the US, you need to be unionized, and in order to be unionized, you need to be legal to work (18).
Barring all that... Ken, you have been around for some time... All contractual and union obligations aside (I doubt his parents would be able to sign for him as his legal guardians ;) ), I am sure you would agree that there would be no studio in the WORLD who would even dream of hiring a producer who did not know the industry inside and out through experience, professional and life-expreience. Let alone a 17-year-old one. It is just ludicrous.
Jeez, I remember one studio even turning me down from simply doing LAYOUT/POSING due to only having 3 years of experience (this was before layout/posing became the entry-level job here in Canada).
My two cents. As much as this whole thread / debate makes me sick to the stomach, it does make me giggle at times too.

Heh, I've been turned down for work for having TOO MUCH experience--figure THAT one out!
This is the thing for all the charlatans out there: frauds get found out simply because they are not genuine.
Guys like us are genuine, we've sweated the shit, done the work, put in our time. We don't have to lie about our backgrounds or skill-sets because the paycheques have borne our story out.
Its not about an exclusive club either.......one either puts in the time or they don't.
The frauds and the liars can NEVER make up that lost ground because even if they surmount the lack of skills, they still have to surmount the loss of integrity.
A 17 year old has exactly how much possible mature cognitive life experience? 4 years? 3?
Even if this kid becomes some kind of stellar talent (very doubtful), I'd still never work with him. Nor would I advise any of my colleagues to work with him. The danger of further duplicity/deceit is just too great.
As far as the entertainment goes, yea there's a certain morbid fascination watching someone ignorantly self-immolate.

As for being turned away for having TOO MUCH experience goes... Same here...
I was out of work once (between contracts, as MOST of us know happens often), and the only thing happening in town was someone needed layout/posing work done (kind of ironic that 10 years prior, I could not get that work due to not enough experience). I called them up, and sent my resume, and they did not take me, as they did not believe I would be happy doing the layout/posing after having directed the 5 or so years prior. I was both insulted and beaming at the same time, regardless of the fact that my mortgage may not get paid soon ;).

"Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard" - Paul Simon
At the age of 17 I still hadn't animated a single thing. 10 years on obviously that's changed, but I'm still feel like I'm finding my feet. If you have indeed circumvented the entire learning process that every great animator for the last hundred-odd years has subscribed to, then hats off to you.
Actually, I don't have a hat on me, only a paper napkin I got with my breakfast, but I can put it on my head if need be. Something tells me I might be spared the humiliation though. : )
Once the fellow made his claims and said he was 17, my eyebrows went up along with anyone else with a modicum of sense.
Reason being is that anyone under legal age with talent to work at a animation studio, to sell their OWN show to a studio would have been marketed/hyped out the wazoo BY THAT STUDIO.
"Studio XYZ is pleased to announced we are working with 17-year old animation prodigy ( insert name here) to develop a 1/2 hour animated series".
This kind of thing gets attention, but its pretty clear that DIEMERAS Dark Angel is the one just WANTING attention.
Look, this gets pretty simple from here on in--the cover's been blown, the jog is clearly up..........you like animation, fine. Keep posting, keep contributing based on what you know and what you like.
Pass yourself as something you are not and you draw shots like a clump of cow turd draws flies.
At age 17, the best thing you can do is learn the life-lesson about being honest with yourself.
BTW, ten bucks says that the kid doesn't come back with that handle, but subscribes again with a new one.
If he was really on the up and up, he wouldn't have to leave in the first place.
He'd be able to demonstrate his talent without compromising the project he claims to be working on. I've seen nothing to date to substantiate anything the kid has said.

No actually, I DON'T CARE.
I'm sick and tired of internet trolls and I take my pound and tonnage of glee in revealing them for what they are: unhealthy people in need of attention.
I'm not a damn baby-sitter, and you are acting like a pre-adolescent, imo.
What I wrote wasn't for you, it was for the rest of the forum.
I don't need to make an example of you because you've done that for me.
My saying ANYTHING prior wouldn't have saved your sorry hide, because YOU are the determining factor. You were not and are not interested in learning/listening, you want validation for things you cannot demonstrate. Validation that you just do not deserve.
Want a life lesson?? Sometimes the choices you make in life count, and second chances are things that happen in fairy tales.
If you want to redeem yourself, then get to it. I simply do not care what you say, do, or achieve from this point on.
In other words, go grow up.

"We all grow older, we do not have to grow up"--Archie Goodwin ( 1937-1998)
You can look down your noses at us all you want,
but, because we stood up to the little liar, he's now off the forum (if we're to take him at his word); and we can now get back to discussing animation instead of discussing Diemeras.
And Ken's probably right. Diemeras will just return with a different account and pretend to be Brad Bird or somebody. This guy is far from a harmless prankster. He is conning people like the poor, gullible Haredevil. You come on here, and claim to be an animation executive, and animators will expend a lot of energy to impress you.
I hope this wasn't directed at me, because I'm in no way "looking down my nose" at anyone. I'm just surprised how vehemently people have jumped on this guy in the last day or so. I doubt anyone here is really buying what this guy is selling, but that's far different than some of the invective that's been hurled.

secondly the only thing possibly true about what you have said is that you might be 17. thats bout it. i for one never believed you worked at WB even if you did it cant have been anything above intern
I never trusted anything you said simply coz of your use of language.it is so FAKE. Your disparaging comments to everyone and your manner of expression show a remarkable lack of maturity that you wouldnt expect in someone of your projected caliber.
6 college degrees? ha haha, i bet you are still in high school.
and stop being so humble you arent that great.
Believe me, we bothered. Trinidad is another possibility.
Hopefully it's not even important anymore. This whole thing seems to be winding down, despite Killjoy's blather.
I am still surprised that this thread even exists, you are the ones who kept it this long, I am long over this bickering, I was having fun with what HareDevil said until you came and flared me, if you don't like me, fine, you're only 3, I will not ignore you though because you haven't made me angry, cry or ashamed, people who make me do either I will respect them until the day I die.
Ken Davis thanks for your views, although this did not concern you, it was between me and 3 other members, Wade K, sorry again (for what it's worth) I meant no harm.....and I do not seek attention from strangers, because most of the time, you make me the centre of attention, by trying to make me a fool, but what ever, I still find you all entertaining, and I will have nothing to do with you both, so as long as you do not try to humiliate me....again.

Cool. Thanks, Ken. I could not find it... Getting on it now.

I have a question...
Did we travelled in time? are we in the castle age?... because i`ve noticed that this diemeras guy is talking like if.
Wath`s up?!! I`m really scared!!! I have to go out now... to get a newspaper!,,
I shall know the truth!!!!
Huan
That's it...I have nothing more to say regarding this thread, you may carry on.

:) Yes!....WE Shall Know the truth!:p I had no idea I came across that way, I guess too much fantasy games and movies.....hey,listen! my show is an EPIC Fantasy, I guess you can blame it on that, but why change my speech...I find it fun:D

Diemeras Dark Angel
Rozzco,i dont think 17 year olds are dumb and i never said so. All i said was that the character that Diemeras has built up for himself, the only thing that seems true is he is 17. everything is all lies. he is basically trolling for attention.
besides, i dont know anyone with 6 degrees( my uncle has 4 and he was in his mid 30s when he got done with them) period let alone at age 17.
haha ok koolio :) :rolleyes:
I do not need attention because I find that childish.

this has gone far enough anyway. ill leave Dumass angel to the better men here. im out of this.
Hey! take that back, Skinnyasslizard.

Let it be known that Diemeras originally crafted his first post in this thread to make it appear that it was from his MOMMY coming to his defense.
He subsequently edited it to make is appear that they're his words.
So we're supposed to believe a fellow WB executive used Diemeras' account to pose as Diemeras' mommy in order to defend him (even though it takes about two minutes for someone to start their own account). We're supposed to believe that Diemeras then altered this guy's words to make it appear that they came from Diemeras. On top of all that, Diemeras says at the bottom of the post that he's honest, even though he admittedly changed another guy's words to make it sound like Diemeras said them.
This guy is an attention-starved liar and lunatic, folks. He should probably be banned, but - until that time - everyone might want to just add him to their ignore lists.
I`m with you guys... we nedd to get back to work.
i`m out of this too. (but it was fun)
see ya in the real threads.
Well I guess someone's mad?

ok... I am totally lost here!! Have I just landed in an alternative reality? What happened to the mild mannered people from this forum with whom I enjoyed talking about ANIMATION so much? Am I wrong, but aren't we meant to be talking about our passion for animation in this forum?
Why has it turned into a soap opera? It has loads of villians and a poor lost soul... It sounds far too much like a Mexican soap opera? by the way, you can recognise the hero by their long blonde lock of hair?
To be honest, I don't care who's wrong or right, and I'm definatley not on the side of anyone, I really don't like drama.. I prefer "Feed the kitty" by chuck Jones. No one gets hurt there!!
So please with sugar on the top, bring back my animated friends!!!

Yeah, this is getting out of hand, and I'm surprised that one of the mods hasn't addressed the issue. Whether or not DDA has the job and credentials he says he has, there's really no reason to be beating on him the way this board has been in the last few days (and I count myself among the guilty).
If he is a whiz-kid executive developing a series at WB, then good for him. And if he's just a deluded teen with a very active fantasy life, so what? How are his alleged fabrications harming any of us in any way?
He says he's gone until he has something he can show. If so, then I look forward to his return, and to seeing what he has to show. If he hangs around and continues to brag the way he has, then take on those specific instances when they occur. By bashing him the way we have, we're really only providing the attention you've correctly stated that he's after.
Even when you are fighting a losing battle? I am certainly not trying to flame you or anything here, but this just cannot be won. Just a suggestion, as I would hate to see you waste more time than you already have, when you could be working on deals to buy-out ABC Family Channel or Star Network or something similar.
DSB... You ruined the surprise... Hehehehehe

I know... Oh, and let's not forget the US UNIONS! I think that in order to work in the US, you need to be unionized, and in order to be unionized, you need to be legal to work (18).
Barring all that... Ken, you have been around for some time... All contractual and union obligations aside (I doubt his parents would be able to sign for him as his legal guardians ;) ), I am sure you would agree that there would be no studio in the WORLD who would even dream of hiring a producer who did not know the industry inside and out through experience, professional and life-expreience. Let alone a 17-year-old one. It is just ludicrous.
Jeez, I remember one studio even turning me down from simply doing LAYOUT/POSING due to only having 3 years of experience (this was before layout/posing became the entry-level job here in Canada).
My two cents. As much as this whole thread / debate makes me sick to the stomach, it does make me giggle at times too.
"Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard" - Paul Simon
Heh, I've been turned down for work for having TOO MUCH experience--figure THAT one out!
This is the thing for all the charlatans out there: frauds get found out simply because they are not genuine.
Guys like us are genuine, we've sweated the shit, done the work, put in our time. We don't have to lie about our backgrounds or skill-sets because the paycheques have borne our story out.
Its not about an exclusive club either.......one either puts in the time or they don't.
The frauds and the liars can NEVER make up that lost ground because even if they surmount the lack of skills, they still have to surmount the loss of integrity.
A 17 year old has exactly how much possible mature cognitive life experience? 4 years? 3?
Even if this kid becomes some kind of stellar talent (very doubtful), I'd still never work with him. Nor would I advise any of my colleagues to work with him. The danger of further duplicity/deceit is just too great.
As far as the entertainment goes, yea there's a certain morbid fascination watching someone ignorantly self-immolate.
"We all grow older, we do not have to grow up"--Archie Goodwin ( 1937-1998)
That was pathetically amusing.
What would scooby do?
Hehehehe
As for being turned away for having TOO MUCH experience goes... Same here...
I was out of work once (between contracts, as MOST of us know happens often), and the only thing happening in town was someone needed layout/posing work done (kind of ironic that 10 years prior, I could not get that work due to not enough experience). I called them up, and sent my resume, and they did not take me, as they did not believe I would be happy doing the layout/posing after having directed the 5 or so years prior. I was both insulted and beaming at the same time, regardless of the fact that my mortgage may not get paid soon ;).

"Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard" - Paul Simon
At the age of 17 I still hadn't animated a single thing. 10 years on obviously that's changed, but I'm still feel like I'm finding my feet. If you have indeed circumvented the entire learning process that every great animator for the last hundred-odd years has subscribed to, then hats off to you.
Actually, I don't have a hat on me, only a paper napkin I got with my breakfast, but I can put it on my head if need be. Something tells me I might be spared the humiliation though. : )
Once the fellow made his claims and said he was 17, my eyebrows went up along with anyone else with a modicum of sense.
Reason being is that anyone under legal age with talent to work at a animation studio, to sell their OWN show to a studio would have been marketed/hyped out the wazoo BY THAT STUDIO.
"Studio XYZ is pleased to announced we are working with 17-year old animation prodigy ( insert name here) to develop a 1/2 hour animated series".
This kind of thing gets attention, but its pretty clear that DIEMERAS Dark Angel is the one just WANTING attention.
Look, this gets pretty simple from here on in--the cover's been blown, the jog is clearly up..........you like animation, fine. Keep posting, keep contributing based on what you know and what you like.
Pass yourself as something you are not and you draw shots like a clump of cow turd draws flies.
At age 17, the best thing you can do is learn the life-lesson about being honest with yourself.
BTW, ten bucks says that the kid doesn't come back with that handle, but subscribes again with a new one.
If he was really on the up and up, he wouldn't have to leave in the first place.
He'd be able to demonstrate his talent without compromising the project he claims to be working on. I've seen nothing to date to substantiate anything the kid has said.
"We all grow older, we do not have to grow up"--Archie Goodwin ( 1937-1998)
No actually, I DON'T CARE.
I'm sick and tired of internet trolls and I take my pound and tonnage of glee in revealing them for what they are: unhealthy people in need of attention.
I'm not a damn baby-sitter, and you are acting like a pre-adolescent, imo.
What I wrote wasn't for you, it was for the rest of the forum.
I don't need to make an example of you because you've done that for me.
My saying ANYTHING prior wouldn't have saved your sorry hide, because YOU are the determining factor. You were not and are not interested in learning/listening, you want validation for things you cannot demonstrate. Validation that you just do not deserve.
Want a life lesson?? Sometimes the choices you make in life count, and second chances are things that happen in fairy tales.
If you want to redeem yourself, then get to it. I simply do not care what you say, do, or achieve from this point on.
In other words, go grow up.

17 year olds at high school are not dumb, they are inexperienced.
Its a bit different than dumb, but sometimes looks pretty close to it.
Thing is, with dumb and inexperience, they are both things that a person can do something about.

Avast!
You can look down your noses at us all you want,
but, because we stood up to the little liar, he's now off the forum (if we're to take him at his word); and we can now get back to discussing animation instead of discussing Diemeras.
And Ken's probably right. Diemeras will just return with a different account and pretend to be Brad Bird or somebody. This guy is far from a harmless prankster. He is conning people like the poor, gullible Haredevil. You come on here, and claim to be an animation executive, and animators will expend a lot of energy to impress you.
Its Munchausen by Internet!
See it LIVE on AWN!

I hope this wasn't directed at me, because I'm in no way "looking down my nose" at anyone. I'm just surprised how vehemently people have jumped on this guy in the last day or so. I doubt anyone here is really buying what this guy is selling, but that's far different than some of the invective that's been hurled.
I really like that Ken. Very zen. I think thats going to be one of those quotes that'll stay with me. I hope you don't mind if I use that from time to time?
