Update on History of Beauty and the Beast Chapter Three and Upcoming Review
Hello everyone,
I am just writing this post to give a few updates. First, the next episode of History of Beauty and the Beast will be delayed a bit due to unforseen circumstances. However, a review of the recently released remake is in the works, so be sure to be on the lookout for that! I am slowly transitioning into doing more video reviews to get myself more acquainted with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects for editing. Also, I have wanted to do video reviews since this blog first went live.
I cannot wait to see what you think of the upcoming review once it is uploaded!
Take care and have a good one!

The History of Beauty and the Beast Chapter 2
In this newest installment of The History of Beauty and the Beast, we
discuss the second of the two early drafts. This draft paved the path
for certain concepts that would later appear in the final film, such as
the main antagonist and why Maurice entered the castle. I do not own any
footage, music, or concept art in this episode. The only thing I do own
is the narration I recorded.

Update on History of Beauty and the Beast Chapter 2
Hello all,
I am typing this post to give everybody an update on the second and third chapters of The History of Beauty and the Beast. At the time of this post, Chapter 2 is currently being rendered in Adobe Premiere. Chapter 3 is currently being written and will cover the film's production up to being shown at the New York Film Festival. The former should be uploaded later tonight, or tomorrow morning. The purpose of this retrospective is to serve as a "lead in" to the 2017 remake, and to slowly transition into video reviews.
Take care!

The History of Beauty and the Beast Chapter 1
In this premiere episode, I will be reviewing the initial 1988 draft of Disney's Beauty and the Beast and comparing it to the final film.
What Happens When You Tear Down a Kid's Artwork Online
In this post, I am not showcasing any artwork or giving
updates on future projects, I am simply writing this post to vent. This
post stems from an event that occurred an hour before the time this post
was written. On Facebook, I am part of a group of Marvel fans, and
there was a child who posted a drawing of Iron Man. (I will not say the
kid's name for the sake of protecting his identity) I decided to post a
critique of his work to help him improve. However, some people did not
share my sentiment and decided to tear the kid down for his artwork.
This caused the post to be removed, more than likely by the now upset
child. Do you realize what you people have probably done?
You have probably scarred the child for the rest of his life. He is probably afraid of drawing because of some of the things people have said. You cannot expect a child to have the same artistic ability as Leonardo da Vinci or Andy Warhol. I know I didn't as a kid, and I have a feeling none of them could either. Drawing takes a significant amount of practice, and a significant amount of skill. Drawing a face takes a larger amount of practice and skill, and the kid had a pretty solid start in his drawing of Iron Man/Tony Stark. However, because of the atrocious personalities of the Internet's users, he may never see the potential he has as an artist and he may never draw again.
Next time, when you see a child's attempt at art, help the kid to improve instead of tearing him or her down. Children love to make art, and some mold that passion into a career. I was treated similarly throughout my childhood. However, I did not let that stop me; I let it encourage me and fuel my passion to where I am now.
If somehow that kid is reading this, then do not give up making art. Keep practicing, and do not let people like those get to you. The post did not give anyone cancer, and "keep fighting the good fight" as one of my former animation instructors would say.
