Eric Goldberg's wisdom of the day



I recently had the pleasure and privilege of meeting Eric Goldberg in Seoul, South Korea (of all places. LOL~). And we had a nice talk, came back home and found this on youtube. So, I thought I would share it with you guys. For me personally, as an animator that's been working in the field for some years now, I understand what he's saying. And, I try to improve myself in this area as well. You can never under-value a good pose.

Disney animator Joe Bowers goes over his shots from "Tangled" & "Bolt"


I gotta say this some top-notch animation right here! I'm sure Glen Keane had alot of input with this, as Joe mentions in this video, but wow(!) this is good. Take a look. And if you want to see some more of Joe's earlier works before he worked at Disney check out his Vimeo page @ https://vimeo.com/joebowers

Tangled: Voice Actors and Hair Trouble and Extended Animation Bits



I love Disney voice actors, ever since Ariel in The Little Mermaid, because when they sing it sounds like you when you're singing by yourself in the shower or in your room. They have a sense of vulnerability that is genuine and in many ways imperfect which makes it sound more real. The actors here show the same kind of Disney magic just with their voices and it is simply amazing! Puffy cheeks, lip movement and shapes, hand gestures, head tilts, eyes bulging in and out emphasizing specific words, there are so much juicy bits and pieces for animators to use in this clip in terms of acting choices. Great reference!



I think this is why Tangled was such a success. Genuine workmanship and dedication to getting it right.





I put these two videos up because I like to see un-rendered versions of the animation. I think you learn more from watching these. Enjoy!
