I notice this especially with professional animators. They bring their roles home and reenact them instead of being the supportive parent, they be the director. Personalizing their experience and projecting it onto the child.
usually that animator had a parent. They didn’t meet directors until they were in already entrenched the industry. (Some didn’t and came from abusive house holds and might not know what a parent is or how a parent should be supportive but who hasn’t?)
And I get it, it is a brutal industry. they want to prepare their child but I think sometimes they don’t understand their role is different at home and how what their industry is doesn’t play well in a supportive home.
understanding when someone needs a parent and that’s a role you commit to. There will be enough bullying and directors in the real world. It’ll be nice to have that one person who’s always in your corner.
