@RideMyBMW Would ya like to pass on the link of George Lucas, where he said this??
-
Thank you, Spielberg, for testifying my argument 7 years before I was born! :D
"All directors should be animators first"
-
speilbergs films have impacted cinema for so many years...with his blockbusters such as E.T. or Jurrasic Park and his darker more films such as Shindler's List or Munich
-
Wow! He looks so different 30 years ago.
-
min 1:00 "I think all directors should be animators first"
Oh please, he stole that line from George Lucas.
-
It was obvious he was one of the few live action directors at the time to have a total respect for the industry, and animation in general
-
Yeah animators...artists...if you trace it back to the base you got 2D artists...drawing/painting then sculpting. Modern equilvent of sculpting would be 3D modeling. That is why I say put an artist as the director of a project and you will get a great movie/game...the problem with games is that they are being made by left brained nerds...put a non nerd with an artistic brain to make any game and you will get something that would make games be recognized as an ART form.

Aaaahhh, Validation... that doesn't come often for an animator, especially from such a worthy source. It almost makes up for all those Animation "Making of" Documentaries all about the voice artists.... but not quite!
