2d or not 2d Animation Festival: Don Hanh
Don Hahn,
A veteran from Walt Disney Feature Animation, during his presentation
he might have shown a thousand images, he talked about artists in
general, animators, painters, storyboard artists, live action films,
composition, etc. He had a lot of pictures from the old times at
Disney, famous people like Tim Burton, Brad Bird and John Lasseter
in their twenties.
He also showed drawings made by the animators, there were a couple
that today they have a lot of weight. Don asked not to put them up
on the internet because they were given to them with great care. I will
describe to you 2 drawings that caught the audience's attention:
1.- Tim Burton had a lot of early sketches from "Nightmare before
Christmas", he made these ones during his Disney years and they look
a lot like the final product. Tim Burton knew for sure where he was
going.
2.- This was Brad Bird caricature, I don't know if it was made by
him or by somebody else. Picture Brad Bird on his feet, pulling
frantically his hair out while saying --"I'm gonna change the #@%!! world of animation". If you have seen the Incredibles you'll know
what he was talking about back in those days.
