The comment about the pegs getting in the way of your drawing hand was a benefit cited for the practice. Also, the animator can easily flip the animation and not have to take the drawings off the pegs.Greg Duffellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06185698212922190574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-86562921451429562222013-07-23T08:57:38.127-07:002013-07-23T08:57:38.127-07:00The penultimate drawing appears to be a hole-punch...The penultimate drawing appears to be a hole-punched photostat. Given that the studio was geared-up to produce registered photostats, both for resizing finished sequences where fine detail was required, and for producing the prints of live-action reference footage, was it common for animators to have sequences of roughs resized if a layout was changed? Or was this just a one-off copy - or prints from a line-test where the originals had gone missing?Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141250556479971763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-36045062936947215412013-07-23T07:31:04.108-07:002013-07-23T07:31:04.108-07:00According to the draft for "Donald's Cous...According to the draft for "Donald's Cousin Gus" posted by Hans Perk, a couple of scenes at the table were dropped from the final film - these roughs might have been from one of those.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141250556479971763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-72493510815322445242013-07-23T00:58:42.932-07:002013-07-23T00:58:42.932-07:00I don't know...this needs some investigating.I don't know...this needs some investigating.Andreas Dejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503659818150293229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-17415064973070929132013-07-23T00:57:25.764-07:002013-07-23T00:57:25.764-07:00The panel was a lot of fun.

These inspire me to revisit Donald with new enthusiasm. I really like Towsly's Jiminy scenes in Pinocchio. He has always been under rated and unknown.

That film is one of my favorite films.
