Corrrespondences with famous people: Profile 1, Savin Yeatman-Eiffel (Interview) 2017

  Dear Mr. Savin, You are my hero of the industry. I admire your storytelling and writing skills and your nobility. For years now I've hoped to some day be anywhere as good of an animation and anime writer as you, and I hope you don't mind if I ask you about your screenwriting process. There is not a lot of interviews with you out there,or common knowledge about what screenwriting process you use to bring your visions of cartoons and anime to life. Here's some questions for you. I hope it's okay with you if I ask about your process. Can you describe a little bit about the formatic and storytelling difference(s) between the Western and Japanese screenwriting process? I've spoken to your friend and collaborator Thomas Romain before, but what he said about anime screenwriting confused me. Me made reference to something called "Scenarios"? I was helping if you know anything about Japanese Scenario departments, what are they exactly? And how different is a Japanese scenario from a Western screenplay? And in what ways are they different? Any thoughts you could provide on the contet of this email would help my career greatly, I am sure. Best Wishes, JM Matthews
• Also, I forgot to mention Who are your favorite auteurs, screenwriters and authors in France and Japan?

  Dear Joseph / James,

  Thank you for your message. To answer one of your questions, "scenario" is just the French name for screenplay. It is harder to answer your more global request of describing my "screenwriting process". What I can easily say is : I always write for animation as I would for "film". For me there is no real distinction between animation writing and live action writing. The former may be seen as more visual than the later but good filmmaking should always be as visual as possible, wouldn't you agree? Take a look at Kon Satoshi's feature films, especially the first 3 (and this should answer another of your questions). The use of the animation medium is great but before all these are great movies, wonderfully crafted and thought out. There is no differences here for me between Kon's work and that of "live action" masters such as Felini or Kubrick. Hope this helps. Best. Savin

  Of course I agree with you! You're one of the geniuses in history. I view myself as a good writer, but I might not have pursued screenwriting as one of my career if it hadn't been for seeing Oban Star-Racers on Toon Disney Jetix America that fateful day. Paul Pope once said if you get a Japanese genius, you get a GENIUS. I feel that same way about us literary auteurs with French DNA. I hope I don't mind if I ask you about Gustav Eiffel. Are you compelled by your family, are you a social creature, or are you more of a lone wolf, or both? I'm interested in how geniuses and people higher on the hierarchy live. I saw a documentary of John Lasseter, who I also me in 1999, only it was in a rare public appearance at a Disney meet and greet. It was amazing to see him in action, just like Osamu Tezuka, Disney, and Miyazaki. It woke me up because he lives so differently than the artists and writers I grew up interacting with, which begs the point, not all your heroes live the exact same cookie cutter lifestyle or behave the same way, you know?? In terms of anime, I feel that way about Otomo, Ghost in the Shell, and Yoshiyuki Tomino. I mean, who doesn't want to crank out tons of quality material in mass quantities. You do the same things. Also, what are you're thoughts on the challenging balance between being a studiohead, writer, screenwriter, and art designer/creator? How does your process work. I don't think a lot of people know the answer to this question, so I must ask while the iron is hot! :)

  Thank you again for your email but by any standards I'm no genius (!), just a modest craftsman who tries to do his best, and to go as much agaisnt the flow as he can manage to.

  On (trying to) be an artist, it all depends on who you are. Personnaly, dreams are my fuel. I need to fall in love with a character or a world and want to brind it to life. On beeing at the same time writer/director and producer, it's a little dangerous and requires a good balance of mind.

End Game. ...MY. END. GAME. Here It Finally Is...

End Game This. End Game That. Everyone keeps talking about my End Game, just because I titled my book “End Times”. Jeez, people, I have a so-called “End Game”, but it's not “murder and world domination”. It's to leverage my self-publishing career into a contract with a corporate mainstream literary publisher, for books and/or comics, and to get an art and/or comics and/or lawyer and literary agent, and cash in on some perennial New York Times bestselling books and comics in the mainstream, and to become the next George R.R. Martin or J.K. Rowling. Is that really so “scammy” or “devious”. All I want is to make some money. I don't have much now. Hardly any. Naturally, I'd dream of achieving self-made wealth in the literary publishing and internet market. Bottom line, I dream of one day being even just HALF As rich as all the people reading and admiring me on twitter. They have something they take for granted that I don't have. That I don't hav and have never had. Lots of money, so I can move out, be independent and complete all my shopping lists, which honestly aren't that vast. Just a few hundred things. If you support me, WISH ME LUCK! Or better yet. Hire me. I'm old enough to work. I've been working for free like a plantation farm sweatshop slave boy my whole life. I say it's time I change that equation. For the Better.

End Times Links

People are always asking me, where do I find End Times Comics and Art and Webcomics. Where do I go to buy the books. Here's SOME PLACES. Actually, almost all of them, on Google Docs:

Why it's difficult to write fictional stories in the 2010s...

It's harder to write now than ever. Back in the day it was so fucking easy to write a script, screenplay, or novel. You didn't have social media or other shit to do. Because of this, Charle Dickens, Leo Tolstoy, John Steinbeck, The Wachowskis, aren't fit to shine my fuckin' shoes. Not in the least. I have 50,000,000 more obstacles in my way than they ever did. JK Rowling and Stephen King, maybe. Because they write books in the current climate. They are immersed in how hard it is.

I hate to Shatter any Showbusiness or Media Image You Might Have Concocted Surrounding Me. But the Era of Aspiration is Over. The Equation is Broken and Will Never Work Again...

It took me a while to realize it, but being a popular cult animated series creator is no longer what I aspire to do. For multiple and numerous reasons.

Teamwork. I don't have a team, and frankly, I'm terrible at teamwork and team dynamics in business. I'm a lone wolf and fly solo, like most people online.

Wow. What a Nightmare.

All these elemenets ensure, realistically speaking, there are enough active and aggressive conspiratorsand factors working against me to make sure I never get that job to begin with, or financial and social disaster would occur if I DID get the job. It's bad enough Jhonen is big enough social pariah, and he had a lot more success and favorable conditions working in his favor at the time on Zim than me. Why do I think my luck, which is worse than his, would fair any better. I had even more negative stigmatized factors working against me than even Jhonen himself, and Jhonen himself, my Hero, was blacklisted by the Hollywood industry, thus explaining why he couldn't get a consistent job.

I want to be a cartoonist. Not an animator.
