Tom Racine questions Jeff ....
[t’s time to talk to Jeff Ranjo, story artist at Disney, and John Sanford, story artist at Dreamworks…between them, over 30 years of animation experience, having worked on films like “Surf’s Up,” “Mulan,” “Chicken Little” and “Home on the Range.” John also does the brilliant webcomic “Chippy and Loopus.” We did a great show about animated films in general back on Episode 25, talking about our favorite and not-so-favorite films and TV shows.
This time, we get into the nitty-gritty of how animated films are actually made. Who pitches the story? Who green lights the film? When does character design start, and what does it take to become a character designer? How long does the process take? How is scripting done? When is music added?...and more]

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your comic... can you make it, please!
Ditto from me ... but I'm using the confident approach ... "You CAN make it!" ... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks guys
ReplyDeleteNeat sketches. Who is the guy in the polka dot tie? He looks sorta familiar.
ReplyDeleteDeane, the guy is from a very public domain group of movies called COMBAT PACK. He was some British Officer with very geometric features. I added the polka dots as my brain was idling.
ReplyDeleteGreat PODCAST by the way. Everyone but Jeff listen to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat info and the three guys do a good job back and forth.
Jeff's Skype isn't as good as John's so it sounds like he's in the next room but other than that, very good.
