I found out animation is incredibly boring. You draw and draw and draw, and it's only a few seconds done in a week.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't dislike the process of animation... I find it daunting, but only as much as I find everything daunting.
The nice thing about animation is that you can realise your inventions without understanding all the hard theory.
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.
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.
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.
There's no real downside to any sort of work that I do. I'm all so grateful for it, but I wouldn't say that animated work is just a walk in the park. It is easy, it's really fun, but I don't know why I really stress myself out every time I'm about to go in.
I've been drawing my whole life. My mom says my sister and I were drawing by age 1. Animation seems a real, natural extension of drawing as a way of telling a story visually.
What I love most about animation is, it's a team sport, and everything we do is about pure imagination.
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.
Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else.
