Zitat des Tages über Animator:
It's a different way of getting across an emotion. You're trying to get it across to the animator because the animator is inspired by the voicetrack in terms of how to animate the character.
I've always wanted to be an animator. That's an ultimate art form, right there.
Disney was not a good animator, he didn't draw well at all, but he was always a great idea man, and a good writer.
Mostly I wanted to be a writer, though for a couple of years there I wanted to be an animator, because I loved drawing and capturing beautiful movements.
Literally overnight, I became an animator... and one that was well-known.
To have a film where there's an evil figure and a good person fights against the evil figure and everything becomes a happy ending, that's one way to make a film. But then that means you have to draw, as an animator, the evil figure. And it's not very pleasant to draw evil figures.
You need pencil miles to be a great artist, animator, or filmmaker, and the sooner you start making mistakes, the quicker you learn.
All the old great companies were run by guys who knew what an animator meant, and guys who knew how to draw. All the companies today are run by executives.
I've always drawn, for example, and I did consider when I was younger, it was either do I become an actor or do I become an animator cartoonist at that point. Do I work at Disneyworld or something and do animated cells or something?
I wanted to be an animator originally. I went to art school; I went to art college and everything. But that screen was just calling me.
I love being able to bring an animator's vision to life and give the breath to the voice of a character.
Honestly, every person, every individual has a process, and my philosophy, whether it's an actor or an animator, is you try to understand the process that person has so you can get the most out of them, but I think you have to sort of manipulate that process with honesty.
My first ambition was to be an animator for Walt Disney. Then I wanted to be a magazine cartoonist.
