Be Better

After all those, an array of artistic and visually pleasing works flooded the onlooking crowd.

Oasis, Duo, Best Friend, and all other works sequenced themselves to fill the 18 completed projects.

The animators were all familiar with their work and other teams' work, so they already knew what happens but it didn't stop them from applauding themselves and others.

The non-animator employees also gave their applause of praise in the end. All works perfectly added up to more than an hour and could be a considerable anthology movie.

It had style, heart, warmth, and thought-provoking narratives that hook the audience.

Seeing that all was done and dusted, Alexander gestured for some people to handle the end of the gathering.

The projection ended and the dimness of the area was removed. The one-hour standing fatigue crept in but they still enjoyed the watching experience.

Without much showmanship, the gathering ended with everyone going back to their jobs.

The animators were talking amongst themselves and merrily laughing as they had an early leave.

Their next weeks would be the true grit of their enlistment and the pre-prepared story they were going to create was exciting and innovative.

It also made them wowed by their efficiency and the computer drawing's convenience of time shortening.

The colors and shades could not be any more vibrant. Unlike other animations where the paint color is diluted during their paper-to-film strip translation, the color retains because it is already the finalized image.

Creed Digital Ink has so many color offerings as its color spectrum labels the shades of green in Gs and a corresponding ascension of numbers.

The colorist realized the beauty of mixing G-1 with G-45.

While Sullivan was left to become the talking point for Italian Director Verdino for the meanings behind each animation short, Alexander slipped away.

He didn't want to confront an enthused director who revels in film art and artistic storytelling.

Gobellins is his major inspiration for most of the usurped creations, so he can tell why it resonated with the European man.

Alexander wasn't one for art and stuff. It was just that Gobellins and other Youtube animation channels' works were the perfect training material for the new recruits.

It also helped that his future self's Youtube recommendation has them popping up once in a while.

He made use of what he can remember and all was as it should be. It was still the backwards 1980s but the visual of the 2010s was still depicted by the software.

While the competition would be stuck in their animation with all the software development, his team can better focus on animation and stand out from the rest.

After checking that the second floor was on communal shutdown, Alexander walked to the other Creed-owned building where his next appointment is located.

The management operations and post-production buildings were quite close to each other but they were still a noticeable walking distance.

While on the street, clicking sounds could be heard and he knew that the Burbank headquarters wouldn't be as media-free as his neighborhood.

It was unfortunate that he walked alone but it was also fortunate that he had already entered the Creed building before the camera carriers could ask their question.

"Alexander! Alexander! We just want to ask a few questions!" Yelled someone from the incoming group but he didn't pay it to mind.

They were adamant on their way that they were even thinking of charging inside the building. Too bad for them that the guards were in place.

"This is an obstruction to the freedom of the press, I tell you." One clamored nonsensically after their attempt at entry failed while the others echoed his sentiment.

They were too noisy that it even disturbed the employees who were working on their responsibilities.

Alexander could only lament the inadequacies of this building as it didn't have the fence gates as the other one.

This media clamoring should only be a one-time thing though as he himself and old Creed would be forming contingencies.

Disregarding the mess that has already quieted down due to some interventions, Alexander reached the third floor and entered the production planning room with a door that has plastered title of 'The Babysitter'.

Scripts, location pictures, revised scripts, effects plannings, and schedules were either plastered on the special storyboard or on the long table.

Alexander remembered the grueling back and forth that happened here as he looked forward to its finished product.

This was only one room and the other production planning rooms had the same mess and meticulous planning as this one.

In each of those rooms, the production company came to know of their little boss's oddity and insight.

He gives the film's idea and overarching theme while correlating the other behind the scene's necessities. He puts his input and also correlates with the film methodology of the chosen directors.

Also, like their big boss, he has a knack for trying to budget as low as possible by maintaining his expected quality.

Little boss Alexander was so pivotal in the making of their 1990 releases that no one doubted why he is listed in the producer's column.

While the employees and ADs are used to it, the new directors' gulped at the realization that a 12-year-old was the backbone for Creed Pictures' recent successes.

Collectively, everyone who followed his progress can tell that he has improved his production capabilities.

The filming books he has read in his free time and his overlording of the animation workshop has propelled him with viable film production experience and expertise.

Alexander could already feel himself being a film production maniac as much as he drove himself into being a programming geek.

It was an incredible jump from being a film pirate, binger, and critic into a considerable film creator.

Everyone else would be content with his already amazing progress but his insides still screamed with ambition to be better than what he currently is.

Disregarding his future for later, he locked the lock on the door and proceeded to sit on the prime seat by the edge of the long table.

All that he had been part of for the past couple of weeks was amazing but it also comes with high pressure.

It just so happens that being in this room was too cool off.
