Some
people ask me why I take old stories, instead of writing my own
stories. Indeed, each of my previous animations were taken from other
people's stories: Bukowski, Akutagawa, or a friend, Otsuki Yoshiko.
There are a few reasons for this.
For
one thing, it is a lot easier to start from a story that is already
written. In this case, I know that H.P. Lovecraft is a much better
writer than I am, so I know that this story works. This gives me the
structure and plot points already, and I can go from there to develop
my own visual language for the work. The
Another
reason to utilize old stories is that it means that a large part of
the production process is already solved. I think it is hard to write
a story (I'm not sure that I have this talent), and even harder to
write a good story. Creating an animated short all by myself is
already hard enough. Typically, there are many people working on a
short animation. In my case, the many people include writers from all
over the world. What I'm really saying is that I look for ways to
made the process easier, and if there are pre-made solutions, then I
will utilize them. (This will be more apparent as I describe more
aspects of the production process for "The Music of Erich Zann.")
