It's one of those things that if I was smart enough to explain it in words, I wouldn't have had to make a movie "World Of Tomorrow" out of it. It's a love letter to science fiction.
Don HertzfeldtI still have the same outlook on things that I did 10, 20 years ago. As an animator, thereโs no career path that you can follow; thereโs very few people doing this that you can look to and pinpoint the mistakes. It hasnโt changed since I was little. You have interests and follow them and strange things happen, organically or not.
Don HertzfeldtMost people's personalities and roles are locked by the time they're nine or 10. I think there's something to that.
Don HertzfeldtI've got the luxury of being able to work largely alone, so I don't need to communicate difficult creative classeas to other people and can leave the whole thing in my head or on scattered notes and sketches that only I need to understand. So I can very radically and quickly change things as I go without tripping anybody else up. And the camera allows me to experiment and try new things on the fly.
