I came across a really nice interview/doc. of one of my College professors. He was a great mentor. What we liked to call “old fashioned”, but in a good way. He truly taught the basics and fundamentals of what animation really was. By doing this, it helps understand why and how animation is important today. By having this knowledge, we know how to apply these tactics in today’s modern world of animation in order to create great characters and story. Plus, he let us all watch the first South Park movie in his History of Animation Class….so it’s all good!
