came up with that name because growing up my parents 553 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,480 growing up my parents um had a member of the family named 554 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,840 um had a member of the family named denton which i thought was a 555 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,640 denton which i thought was a really weird unusual name very nice guy 556 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,760 really weird unusual name very nice guy by the way 557 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,159 by the way and then when i lived with my pals matt 558 00:21:28,159 --> 00:21:29,760 and then when i lived with my pals matt and brian 559 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,960 and brian in ypsilanti we had a roommate that 560 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,799 in ypsilanti we had a roommate that lived in another apartment 561 00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:38,240 lived in another apartment upstairs whose name was rose i'm not 562 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,600 upstairs whose name was rose i'm not sure if that was his first name or his 563 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,799 sure if that was his first name or his last name 564 00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:43,280 last name but i thought instinctively that the two 565 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,720 but i thought instinctively that the two names together 566 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,960 names together were pretty cool so um 567 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,080 were pretty cool so um somewhere along the way 568 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,039 dennis tells me about this new uh 569 00:21:55,039 --> 00:21:56,960 dennis tells me about this new uh character sensation that he came 570 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,200 character sensation that he came up with and dennis was always a funny 571 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,240 up with and dennis was always a funny guy 572 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,600 guy and he said he's calling it denton rose 573 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,320 and he said he's calling it denton rose and 574 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,159 and do i mind um using the name i says well 575 00:22:08,159 --> 00:22:10,000 do i mind um using the name i says well it's not trademarked or anything you 576 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:10,480 it's not trademarked or anything you know 577 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,039 know you go ahead and then i i saw the 578 00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:14,320 you go ahead and then i i saw the character 579 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,880 character denton rose who i thought was hilarious 580 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,400 denton rose who i thought was hilarious um and i think the thing that was funny 581 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,039 um and i think the thing that was funny about that 582 00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:21,600 about that rose is that he looks like an elvis 583 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,480 rose is that he looks like an elvis impersonator 584 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,840 impersonator but there's absolutely no mention about 585 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,360 but there's absolutely no mention about that aspiration 586 00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:31,039 that aspiration and um so i i after i 587 00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:34,320 and um so i i after i saw the character i said my god go ahead 588 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,640 saw the character

jim barney the original earnest appeared 1086 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:15,920 jim barney the original earnest appeared unreplaceable 1087 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,079 unreplaceable so when he's seen the possibilities of a 1088 00:41:18,079 --> 00:41:19,200 so when he's seen the possibilities of a similar character 1089 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,880 similar character that could replace earnest without 1090 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,560 that could replace earnest without trying to duplicate him 1091 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,599 trying to duplicate him he was inspired and after this i was

denton rose a star again is that the original booger 1096 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,599 a star again is that the original booger guy from uh 1097 00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:46,000 suddenly denton rose had production 1098 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,760 suddenly denton rose had production value john immediately 1099 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,440 value john immediately started thinking of denton as the new 1100 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,200 started thinking of denton as the new earnest not the same character but 1101 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,800 earnest not the same character but similar enough to embark on the same 1102 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,480 similar enough to embark on the same promotional techniques 1103 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,160 promotional techniques okay vern now listen to your

doing 1355 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,520 love the craft of what you're doing there are people who create 1356 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,960 there are people who create have created big films and they're just 1357 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,880 have created big films and they're just money makers they don't care about the 1358 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,119 money makers they don't care about the art you know we are the artists some of 1359 00:51:23,119 --> 00:51:25,200 art you know we are the artists some of the greatest artists in history 1360 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,599 the greatest artists in history never even discovered until well after 1361 00:51:27,599 --> 00:51:28,559 never even discovered until well after they had died 1362 00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:31,040 they had died you know but i'm sure that when they 1363 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,119 you know but i'm sure that when they were creating that painting or doing 1364 00:51:33,119 --> 00:51:34,640 were creating that painting or doing whatever they did 1365 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,880 whatever they did that they did that with the meticulous 1366 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:37,920 that they did that with the meticulous detail and 1367 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,480 detail and and the the love for what their craft 1368 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:41,520 and the the love for what their craft was embedded in 1369 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,880 was embedded in every pixel that they they created so so 1370 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,079 every pixel that they they created so so do your art because it means something 1371 00:51:48,079 --> 00:51:49,520 do your art because it means something to you because it's inside of you 1372 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:50,720 to you because it's inside of you because that

00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,640 you know where everybody else is and once you kind of figure out that 1402 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,280 and once you kind of figure out that you're not going to make it big 1403 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,839 you're not going to make it big what do you do there's a lot of people 1404 00:52:53,839 --> 00:52:55,119 what do you do there's a lot of people that 1405
