Mon, 27 July 2009 From the dairy farm in Payson, Utah, to an animation studio in Ireland, Don Bluth has done it all! I was fortunate enough to sit down with Don as he talks candidly about his past, his present and the future regarding his work in the animation industry. There are so many great lessons to be learned in this discussion and just talking with Don can be a motivating experience all by itself! Don's amazing career didn't just happen by chance so much as it did by seizing opportunities and taking risks along the way. His talents and skills as an animator, character designer, and instructor can be seen and experienced firsthand at his website: http://www.donbluthanimation.comCheck out more of Don's amazing work at the Boing! sister site: http://behindthelinespodcast.blogspot.com Comments[2] |
Todd,
While (as you warned us) the volume is very low, the amount of information I was able to glean from this interview was remarkable. Why, in four and a half years, no one has been interviewing animators and comic strip artists, I can't say, but your podcast does all that and more! Would I love to have better sound? You betcha'! But having done phone interviews on my own podcast, I know the limitations to doing it. I am lucky to have a pretty good cable internet connection so my Skype is reasonably clear, but without that, even in this day of wonderful technology, it's VERY difficult to get good sound. So don't feel too bad, heck, we've gotten some GREAT interviews from you, and this is one of the best!
