One of the big moments of my life was watching 'Star Wars' on its opening weekend in Hollywood. I was watching all these people enjoy this film, and I thought: animation can do this.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Doing an animation is nothing like anything you could ever experience. You get to be a kid again and just play dress up in a movie studio.
I get asked a lot if I'd want to get into live-action movies, and the answer, honestly, is 'no.' I'm an illustrator, and I think animation is an extension of that way of expressing myself. That's not to say I'd never make a live-action movie, but I don't strive for it.
You can be moved by an animated film and not by a live action film. There could be great inspiration in and humanity in that animated story.
And it's very hard to do this stuff too because there are so many effects movies being done, so many companies busy doing this work and the public just wants to see it. Good work is being done all over the world.
I think animation is like running a marathon, and making a movie is like a 100 meter sprint. The question is: are you a marathon man or are you a sprinter? I realized that I was more of a sprinter than a marathon man. With a long, long project, I get bored easily.
I'm interested in animation. I actually feel like I've learned so much about the process how to make an animated movie.
Animation is the one type of movie that really does play for the entire audience. Our challenge is to make stories that connect for kids and adults.
I want to be in 'Star Wars.' That would be amazing.
I don't think I would want to do an animated movie because I've already made so many hours of animation that what's the point? I'd want something new and weird to challenge me in a different way.
It would be excellent to do a 'Star Wars.'
