Ah. Ya wanna HATE these guys from Pixar, you know? It’s not enough they make pure magic every day. It’s not enough they’re the envy of the art and animation worlds. It’s not enough most of them have these ambitious personal projects going on in the background, and their personal projects put most professional projects to shame. Beyond that, most of them are seriously, seriously nice guys, who care as much about sharing their processes as they do practicing their art.
Take Jim Capobianco, for instance. He’s been working on a traditional 2D animated film about Leonardo da Vinci. Full animation. In his spare time. Alone.
So… it’s taken him 10 years? So what. The film looks great, and I can’t wait to see it. Looks like the time is almost here, and he’s wrapping up production. He blogs about his film HERE.
Because I’m somewhat of a process addict, though, I couldn’t resist telling you about Jim’s posts revealing the Top Ten things he’s learned from making a short film.
Great stuff, I hope to be able to see it somewhere. His drawings are fantastic.
