Ralph Eggleston Interview
This is a great interview with Ralph Eggleston. I did not split it up into separate pieces for time. I just didnt have the time to do it so its around 45 minutes. The Audio is a bit better than the last interview, but I am still trying to hit the quality that the animation Podcast has.
The file can be had at Itunes (do a search for SplineCast)
or download it here:

Enjoy the interview and post any feedback.

Great Interview! Ralph was a little hard to hear in some parts, but overall is was nice. It was awesome hearing about Dan Holland since he was in my class at calarts. Thanks again!

That was a great interview. The audio for me was a bit screwy, really really quiet so I had to turn my system volume waaaay up... but mostly it was audible and the information was great. I actually preferred it in one piece as opposed to cut up - I think Clay at Animation Podcast cuts his interviews up just to tease his listeners. But again, thank you so much for going through the effort of actually conducting these interviews!

Pure gold, thanks
The best part...mmm..all was good, but specially liked when he said that he liked the tought process of artpieces. This is great to hear, good tutorials are those in which the artist explains the way he thinks, rather than a step by step turorial, you learn more because you build a logical chain on how to make an art piece/ solve a problem(s) , rather than a step to solve an specific issue.
Also great advices for short films!
Thanks once again Mr. Ralph and Dr. Andrew.

Great stuff guys! The tid bits on student films was pure gold. Really interesting to hear the main challenge of a successful student film is finding a way to tell a complete, interesting story but in a simple way. Art direction is definately an area that's lacking in student films. Again, excellent work guys and thanks so much for setting up these great interviews!

Totally lovin' the gold! This splinecast, as usual, is full of great tips.
It's interesting that he said one of the best things students can do is make a short film. i also like how he alludes to the importance of finding ideas the audience can latch on to and gravitate to. That really helps to answer the difficult question of, "HOW do you get the audience to empathize with your character?"
Gold! Awesome interview Andrew, and thanks again for doing these podcasts and for sharing them.

Guys, you gotta get the audio quality under control! Listening to this interview was like watching FINDING NEMO on a plane -- from another plane. All the more frustrating because Ralph seemed to be kicking down some serious science.

Dang,
I cant seem to get the audio right. I guess the next interview will have to use real microphones. Sorry about that.

I for one will be grateful if you do -- the material is too good to sound that bad!
Thanks for all the hard work!

Dr Gordon,
Good stuff. Very inspiring. Some one needs interview you and the other Spline doctors. You guys do great work and it would be nice to hear about your background and so forth. Keep it up.

Thx!

Awesome interview, thank you!
Any chance that you guys could interview a story guy? I'd really like to hear about that range...

I have to say that I just now was able to get the file to work on my ipod (error on my part) and I was hooked to it. I was got to listen to it in parts on the muni, during animation class labtime and at life drawing. I am happy to say that I learned something and that it was very intresting.
Besides animation/directing, I have always been intrested in lighting. Do you know anyone in the lighting department that would be willing to talk about what they do?
Thanks again for sharing!

Cheers!
