PB: When to take criticism onboard, and when to ignore it! If it’s from your editor or a writing buddy – people who care about your growth as a writer – it’s probably worth listening to. It takes work, but I hope I’ve improved at those skills over the years.ĪA: In your experience as a writer, what have been the hardest and most useful skills to learn? But for a novel you need to learn to write stronger plots, dimensional characters and dialogue. Those things are essential to sustain a short story or film. And they still are – I love magic realism and weird quirky story ideas – that’s the animator in me. PB: When I used to write animated shorts, my ideas were always very visually oriented and cinematic. Then, when I was a teenager, I got into animation, I used to write ideas for short films, storyboard them and animate one or two scenes.ĪA: How have you and your work grown and changed over time? I adore them, they are far more fun than my school writing assignments, none of which I kept. Peter Bunzl: When I was a kid I used to write and illustrate my own stories and comics, my dad kept them all in a folder and gave them to me a few years ago. Īirship Ambassador: What do you consider your first real writing experience? Was it a school assignment or something you just did on your own? Welcome back to part five in our talk with filmmaker and animator Peter Bunzl, who is the author of Cogheart.
