Jamiereblog - Stuff I Like

This is a very inspiring panel from SIGGRAPH 2013 in which nine directors of animation came and spoke about working in the industry and how they got their start. Some really great stuff here. I will probably watch it multiple times for the inspiration and wisdom in it.

Watch the video to hear from Ron Clements, Pete Docter, Eric Goldberg, Kevin Lima, Mike Mitchell, Chris Sanders, Henry Selick, David Silverman, and Kirk Wise.

Metropolis (1927). In a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city’s mastermind falls in love with a working class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.

Puppet.

The Flat (Byt), 1968

I saw this round a friend’s house at about 1 in the morning. It is the freakiest damn thing I have ever seen.

From F.W. Murnau’s Faust (1926).

From the 1927 book Negro Drawings, by Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias (1904-1957). Great suggestion of movement.
