This oldie here from 2002 landed me my first job as an Animator on a Feature production. Gosh, I was so excited! #2danimation #linetest #penciltest

Fun fact about this scene is that apparently someone in the studio loved it so much that he/she stole one drawing out of this shot and James had to recreate it using the video. #animation2d #Animation

I really enjoyed doing this piece With Klaus himself it was all about subltle acting. Not very sexy from an animators point of view. So, this one was a welcomed change from that. #animation #2danimation #ToonBoom #linetest #penciltest #klaus

These shots were initially planned only as test Scenes but ended up in the final movie. You can't imagine my relief! They were also the very first two dialogue shots I did with Klaus. Except one done prior with Liam Neeson's voice from "Batman begins" (I'll post that one later).

@DiscussingFilm This trailer gives me the impression that the film is a rehash of many that have come before. The all to familiar acting, humor, and overall look feel reminiscent of a dozen other projects. I’m left hoping the full film will offer something more original, but doubtful about that.

These shots were a bit tricky. I always felt that the dialogue was too on the nose here. You basically end up animating almost exactly whatever the lines are instead of the subtext (juice of the shot). #animation #2danimation #ToonBoom #linetest #penciltest #klaus #toonboom

Fun shot of Klaus and Jesper opening up unexpectedly—one of the few times I animated both (though Jesper changed in the final version). In hindsight Jesper might've been more fun, but after reading the script I felt Klaus to be the right choice for me at the time. #animations

@Vesperis_Art A lot of young people underestimate the amount of dedication it takes to become a good artist or anything else for that matter. Entitlement is another obstacle among many others. And then we have the ”who you know and who knows you” side of things. It’s quite complex!

This is crazy to me, but I never knew they used THIS much life action references for Ariel. I think life ref has its place for very complex tasks, but when I see it being used for almost every single shot I just don’t see the point of calling it animation anymore. What do you

Sherri Stoner served as the animation model for Ariel in The Little Mermaid (1989) as well as Belle in Beauty and the Beast (1991). Ariel's lower lip biting and Belle's habit of brushing hair away from her face were both Stoner's mannerisms that animators later incorporated into

After this one, I gave up on CG. Although I was able to make this guy walk, the process itself was lacking any sense of spontaneity or surprise that I was getting from 2D. I guess nowadays things have changed quite a bit. #animation #Maya #bouncingball #3Danimation

James Baxter, the king of animation. In this type of 2D animation, there is no “camera” like in 3D animation, just pencil drawings on paper. This means drawing the character to change perspective as the environment is spinning to give the illusion of a camera movement. #lionking
