Credits
I am about to have my first professional credit on a movie... EVER! It's on what was origianlly called Yankee Irving, but now it is called Everyone's Hero. In the trailer, I even recognize a few shots from sequences I did.
It's a weird feeling, because I've told a few people my name will be on it, but a lot of people who I've told have the same reaction.
Depending on how perceptive they are, OP will continue to talk about how much the movie is going to blow chunks...
While I don't claim to disagree with their sarcasm, sometimes it riles me up a bit... It rains a little on my parade of momentary excitement. Here's what they aren't thinking about that I am:
Anywho, i still have yet to see it... I hear the trailer is in front of Garfield 2.
Hee hee...

Me: I'm getting my first movie credit!
Other Person: What movie?
Me: Everyone's Hero... It used to be called Yankee Ir...
OP: (interrupting) OOooooohhhh... Is that the one about the talking bat? That looks [insert disdainful comment here].

1.I'll be able to see how my boards were translated into something on a giant screen
2. My name will scroll past the screen in a real theater, in real life, off real 35mm film
3.(last but most importantly) I'll have a page on IMDB.
Anywho, i still have yet to see it... I hear the trailer is in front of Garfield 2.

Welcome to the wonderful world of professional animation!
You're right about the up sides to it all, though; it IS really cool to see your name on a big screen. AND to see your story sketches get translated into animation. Ja!
But get use to the reaction(s)--as long as you are working, someone will think the films you work on are crap. The ones with the most experience in the actual business will [hopefully] know better than to pop your bubble, no matter what they think of the movie itself, But the fans/regular folks? Nope.
I'm glad to know funny friends and friendly folks read my blog... thanks for all the awesome comments!
The trailer looks great IMO. How exciting to have your first movie credit. I'll wait for your name when it rolls by.
I like your blog Elizabeth.
