Today Casting Director Shelby Holt walked me through the process of casting for the feature film The Miracle of Tony Davis. This is a micro-budget feature based on true life events that occurred in 2003. Pastor Tony Davis was shot 5 times and was clinically dead for 15 minutes and experienced something extraordinary in what he describes as "heaven".
Shooting commences in a few weeks so finding the right actors for this movie is going to be challenging. I am looking forward to meeting the cast and collaborating with Director Donre Walker in the process.
“I admire Walt Disney, I am charmed by Walt Disney, and I decided my career inspired by Walt Disney. And I met him in New York, or, I should say, I just walked past him. On the opening day of New York World’s Fair, https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/entity/m01vl17?categoryId=artist I was lucky enough to get a chance to talk to him. I came across him leaving the stage just after delivering the speech. I got nervous but somehow introduced myself to him. ‘I am a head of a Japanese animation studio.’ ‘Nice to have you here.’ ‘I am the one who made Astro Boy.’ ‘Really? I know Astro Boy. I saw the work in Los Angeles. It’s a great work.” ‘Thank you very much. My staff would be honored. Well, may I have your comment about the work?’ ‘It’s a very interesting Sci-Fi story. Future children are looking toward the space. So I, myself, think about making Sci Fi, too. If you have time, visit me in Burbank.’ (by Tezuka Osamu) Li

Something Sketchy: A Beginner’s Guide to Storyboarding | Pond5 Inspiration , Pro Tips Something Sketchy: A Beginner’s Guide to Storyboarding By Jim Penola I’m a firm believer that artists’ roles aren’t specific to their chosen concentration, or even their natural inclination. Whether you’re an illustrator, author, photographer, actor, or musician, you no doubt find some measure of solace in creative expression. Storyboarding is a great way to encourage that, as it’s far more approachable than, say, painting or life drawing. Plus, the stakes aren’t as high with storyboards since, as I’ve mentioned before , they’re a means to an end, and not “the end” itself. So whether you’re ready to map out a feature film, or just curious how to pick up the practice, here’s everything you need to know to get started! Draw Your Own Boxes
