How to use animation in a sentence?
People are funny -- they are able to project personality onto anything. I remember as a kid I spent a $ 5 bill once and felt so bad because the other $ 5 bill was now going to be lonely without all the other bills I had in my wallet, you just invest these dead things with life and that is our tendency as people. So animation takes advantage of that, grabs on to it, and runs with it.
When you start saying,' We'll use things like cadence and facial animation and things of that nature,' I'm really skeptical that there's real validity there.
I think the secret source to animation, like anything, is truth, so even though we are taking people to these far out places and showing them characters that you'd never believe are alive -- cars, bugs, Monsters Inc. -- we are seeing something of ourselves on screen.
A lot of the Chinese comic and animation are developed from online novels that I have already read. I like them because I'm already a fan of the stories.
There's an extra magic with animation, the only boundaries are how crazy your imagination is.
