One Less Creative Person on the World!
The Dutch animator winner of the Golden Bear , Gerrit van Dijk, died now on December 4th and left us his work of art . I liked his 2D techniques, he used many times the rotoscopy technique with Pencil Drawing Effect having an insight into social injustice.
his wise words about school:
"You only learn technique. The creativity you learn is no creativity at all. You know exactly what colour socks you should wear and what your hair should look like, but not how to put something on paper"

Newtown, Connecticut
I'm very interested in stories and events that happen in small cities, towns and villages around the world without preconception, the microcosm of people really leaves me fascinated. However, the massacre in elementary school that left 26 dead disturbed my mind, most of them were innocent children between 5 and 10 years old.
(above terrified kids in Newtown, Connecticut. Below; João Hélio)
This tragedy reminds me of a news item I saw some time ago on the brazilian television about that little boy, João Hélio, who was dragged along seven km (4.35 mi), tied to the safety belt of his mother's car. In both cases, the media has clearly shown that the cowardice against children can strike, with great brutality, anywhere in the world.
Anyway, when the subject is child, the media must really pay full attention, without stereotyped preconceptions and prejudice based on race, religion, gender or economic situation. I recently watched a video about a Leopard that kills a monkey and discovers that it had a newborn baby, the leopard showed more respect for other race than we have for each other.

That story about the end of the world just got boring! At the Social Networking, the most people are making the same ill and predictable jokes, Dude! This just became a pain in the butt.
