Flint Dille
À propos de cet audio
The Gamesmaster is a narrative memoir chronicling the life and career of Flint Dille. And while he isn't exactly a household name, you almost certainly know his work - which includes credits from some of the most important and successful entertainment franchises throughout the world across the cartoon, film, video game, and comic book industries and beyond.
Dille started his career writing and producing Saturday-morning television shows, including Transformers and G.I. Joe, while also writing interactive novels with Gary Gygax, the creator of Dungeons & Dragons. From there, he'd go on to work with the likes of Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Frank Miller, Jack Kirby, and a raft of others as a writer, story editor, showrunner, and/or producer of iconic entertainment in almost every medium.
Dille's memoir is an entertaining blend of pop culture, social history, and reportage about the exciting, groundbreaking 1980s and the parts he and his colleagues, collaborators, employers, and friends played in making it a genuine Golden Age.

Fun look behind the curtain of 80's cartoons
I bought this on Audible with one of my credits, and half-way through the book, I decided that I really wanted to have a hard copy of this book for reference, so I ordered the hard-cover. It includes lots of great anecdotes about the making of my favourite 80's cartoons - Transformers, GI Joe etc.. I have often wondered how all of the pieces fit together with those old cartoons. The credits would include names like Marvel, Hasbro, Claster, Griffin Bacal, but I never knew who did what. Now I know.
In addition to the history (which is worth reading this book for on its own), I enjoyed learning about the author's writing process. He describes some of the strategies he employs in his creative process, and relates them to his own life in ways that are accessible to non-writers (like myself).
If you lived through the 80's, or are simply want to be a fly on the wall of an animation studio, you can't go wrong with Gamesmaster.
