I've been asked your question before ...Hi Ryan,<br />I've been asked your question before in the past. <br />In what medium do you think you could express yourself personally? <br />Sure, the jobs will be with CG in the future, but if hand drawn animation holds that special magic for you (as it does for me), then there really is no choice.<br />Why don't you get started and get some experience in 2D first? When it comes to finding a job later and there are only CG offerings, your 2D knowledge will totally apply toward computer animation. Not only that, you will be ahead of the game, because<br />any CG program can be learned quickly.<br />Whatever you decide, don't question your choice...just go for it!<br />Andreas Dejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503659818150293229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-68086835739379186172013-04-10T06:02:45.666-07:002013-04-10T06:02:45.666-07:00Love this character!

As nice of a design as the Dodo is, I honestly think Kahl's animation of the character of Alice is more memorable.<br /><br />I'd be interested in seeing more drawings from this film, especially any characters/scenes that Ward Kimball was involved in. I've been revisiting this film lately, and Ward's animation work on this film stands out in particular.Torgo25https://www.blogger.com/profile/15536234486192093129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-51601494427420451912013-04-09T04:16:44.428-07:002013-04-09T04:16:44.428-07:00Great expressions on the model sheets.Great expressions on the model sheets.Snow White Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715594290214114608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-87119341172037215572013-04-08T20:00:14.228-07:002013-04-08T20:00:14.228-07:00The Dodo is such an interesting looking character....The Dodo is such an interesting looking character.

I like it, and it gives him more visual interest and anthropomorphic appeal, but it always confused me as to why that particular choice of costume. Did it just add to his implied British pomposity in the eyes of American audiences?

I got into The School of Visual Arts in NYC and I have to decide whether to major in 2d or 3d animation. I like both mediums but I like 2d better. My ultimate career goal is to work at Disney and it seems like they are focusing more on the 3d animation, along with Pixar, Dreamworks and basically everyone else in the big budget film industry. You are a traditional animator and I was wondering what you do when Disney is working on only computer animated films. Do you think it would be better if I went into 2d or 3d? Thanks for your opinion :) <br />Looking forward to your next blog post,<br /><br />RyanCheerio753https://www.blogger.com/profile/12404493553389152045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-34917090326178871542013-04-08T01:37:00.258-07:002013-04-08T01:37:00.258-07:00Milt was also supposed to animate the Caterpillar,...Milt was also supposed to animate the Caterpillar, Boy, I wished he had!Andreas Dejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503659818150293229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-87163622384840298952013-04-08T00:16:28.516-07:002013-04-08T00:16:28.516-07:00Milt must have been pretty relieved to animate thi...Milt must have been pretty relieved to animate this guy when he wasn't working on Alice!

I think it's a valid interpretation. It's not as verbally intricate and with as many hidden layers as the original texts (I recommend Martin Gardner's The Annotated Alice to everyone), but it pays great hommage to the visual medium that animation is.<br /><br />I guess many see it as a sort of disjointed narrative, but the book itself is mostly that, too - witty little episodes of nonsense with hidden plays on mathemetaical logic. What I particularly love about the Disney movie is how great a stage it offers to Ward Kimball's surreal inventiveness. The Walrus and the Carpenter is a piece I watch over and over. I love that little scene in which Tweeldedum (or Dee?) starts singing "The sun was shining on the sea" with his body being in completely nonsensical motion that just - works somehow.<br /><br />If Disney ever did a hand-drawn feature based on Through The Looking-Glass (yeah, fat chance of that, I know), I'd go to see that, oh, I dunno - five times in a theatre?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03219482312632171188noreply@blogger.com
