I think living things can recognize the movement of other living things, and all the best animators in the world can't quite capture that something.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you take something that's inert, and through motion, give it life, make it appear to be alive, living, breathing thinking and having emotions, that's animation. But when you take something that's live-action, and move a part of it, that's a special effect.
The best thing about animated-feature people is that they are very laid-back people. You feel like you're showing up for a backyard barbecue.
Animation is about creating the illusion of life. And you can't create it if you don't have one.
Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.
The nice thing about animation is that you can realise your inventions without understanding all the hard theory.
What I love most about animation is, it's a team sport, and everything we do is about pure imagination.
Animators have to live life 24 times as long as we do - every 24 frames of a second.
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.
The animators are absolutely extraordinary. It's mind-boggling.
I love being able to bring an animator's vision to life and give the breath to the voice of a character.
