pasitheaI've wrestled with this one for a bit and I'm not coming up with any good ideas. What should I call myself when animating? I mean like
there's 'Studio Ghibli', 'Tanooki Brothers', etc. What moniker should I wear? I've been using 'Half Circle Productions' for a long while but... It's so dull and doesn't really mean anything or say anything about me. I guess I would tend to think of it as a meta label though. I'd keep it, but I want to name my animation studio something. But what?
Studio Squirrel?
Alendrias Alliterating Animation Annex, or AAAA!!! for short?
So. One might wonder why I'd want a name at all. The simple answer is that it disassociates me from my work so it's not seen as 'animation by Samantha, that freaky neurotic girl' or 'Animation by Alendria, that stone raving psycho bitch.' I need style! Something that is memorable and soundbyty and invokes a clear concept for a mascot logo type character, and says something about me. Something that has nothing whatsoever to do with PEZ. Help me!

Date: 2004-04-14 10:12 pm (UTC)Seriously though ... how about Fossor Productions or Sciurus Productions?
The reason for Fossor is that the california grey squirrel's scientific name is sciurus fossor. Sciurus being the latin for squirrel, and Fossor meaning "ditch, digger, clown/fool" (I guess for the funny squirrel things lol). Or pretty much go latin for something you believe defines you, and damn the translation :P

("Squirrel Workshop" in French)
A-teu-lee-ay Ay-ku-reu-yyyyy (not eeee, yyyyy)
It's a little hard to pronounce, I admit.
I noticed that some Japanese art and animation studios use the word "Atelier" in their name,
and wacky anime/manga-loving kids use it too for their little doodle-generating ventures.
How about SKWRLMation?
