Andrew Stanton Part 3




Well,

This is the third and final part of the interview. I hope you have enjoyed it. We look forward to interviewing alot more people in the future... Just dont expect them every week. These things take alot of time and I'm pretty buzy. I'm hoping some of the other guys will do some interviews. Anyway, fill out the iTunes reviews and if anyone wants to pass the word about our blog and podcast, thats always nice. We look forward to more great interviews.

-Andrew

That was great, thank you to both Andrews involved for doing this.

I have a question, and you can put this to Mr. Stanton or any or all of the Doctors can field this one, I have no preference:

How do you guys feel about the current batch of non-Pixar animated features due for the screen in the next year or two? Are there studios or animators at other studios whose work you guys enjoy? Stuff you see hitting the screen that you're disappointed by?

There's a handful of them I'm really looking forward to, like Happy Feet, Gon, Ice Age 2, Open Season, and Over the Hedge.

(It should also be noted though that when it comes to cartoons I tend to overlook a film's shortcomings maybe more than I should. I remember at Summer Arts I was sitting down for lunch with Chuck Harvey and we were talking about where hand-drawn animation has been going and I told him that I think I might be the only person in the world who really enjoyed Atlantis and Treasure Planet, and he puts down his silverware and looks me in the eye and tells me point blank how poor a film Treasure Planet was. And, you know. Ouch!)

"Like all these new movies coming out, you feel it like you could cut it all into one movie"

And

"There's this notion that we're making family movies... The reality is to make movies we'd see, if we got paid for it or not"

Hehe, (I paraphrased) but these are just excellent quotes.

Rock on Andrew

ALSO!! Great Lecture last week on AMO! I loved the Polishing lecture, I don't know of any other way to tell you (:

Love it!
Maybe for future interviews I would like to here a Pixar character desinger!!
When you hear a new pixar movie is coming you dont imagine photorealistic charcaters but somehow toon stylized ones. For example "Cars", no one will expect to see "Real" cars but toon like ones. It fits Pixar, it is your great style. When you see one of this cars you know it is pixar's, and it is not only the characters but the whole world, it has some pattern. How does a Pixar's character designer thinks and works to get this great guys?
Thanks

Dr. Gordon, thank you for "prescribing" this series with Andrew Stanton. It was very inspiring and extremely insightful to know how the animation world is viewed through the eyes of someone rich with experience and knowledge such as Mr. Stanton.

Keep up the great work. As far as who else I'd be interested in hearing (and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's requested this) is John Lassetter. I realize, especially with his new additional responsibilities, that he's a very busy man. But if there's any possible way a short interview could be done with him, that would be fantastic. Other than that, I'd love to hear from Pete Docter, Jan Pinkava, and just about anybody else working there at PIXAR!

Oh, and being somewhat of an audio/mac guy myself, if you want to improve on the quality of the audio, invest in a couple of good quality lapel mics which would plug into a small USB audio mixer that, from there, you can plug into your mac. You can just record directly into GarageBand. I'm not sure how Clay over at The Animation Podcast does it, but the way I suggested should get you really good, clean quality audio with very little outside noise (which also depends on where you record the interviews). Anyway, that's my two cents, take it or leave it.

Again, keep up the great work. I'll definitely be listening...
