With animation, because you can draw anything and do anything and have the characters do whatever you want, the tendency is to be very loose with the boundaries and the rules.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing that I enjoy about animation is the fact that it is unbridled, and there are no boundaries; when you are in the room, you don't have to focus on your clothing, make-up, hair, your choreography or your blocking; you really do have total freedom.
The great thing about the animation process is that is goes from, I write the lines, it goes to the actors, the actors bring a whole world to that, they bring the characters to life, then it goes to the animators, then it goes to the editor who cuts it together, and then you screen it and it goes back through the system again.
Doing animation is closer to pretending than anything else you get to do. It's much more like when you're a kid putting on a character.
Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature. Our most difficult job was to develop the cartoon's unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals.
It's interesting when you're trying to create a character in animation. It's really a communal effort.
What I love most about animation is, it's a team sport, and everything we do is about pure imagination.
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.
It just seems like the whole, overall animation world is trying to go where maybe animation doesn't belong.
In live-action, writing, production, and editing happen in discrete stages. In animation, they overlap - happening simultaneously. This allows a real dialogue to occur between the writer, the director, the actors, and the editor, and it makes the writing process a lot more collaborative and a lot less lonely.
What's most important in animation is the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. I'm a great believer of energy and emotion.
