There's always kids who become stop motion animators. I get stuff all the time. They put it on YouTube. It's exciting to see.

It's nice to be taken seriously.

I feel like what we love to do is solve problems. If it's easy to solve, we find a more difficult one. There's always a way. In our world, we can build stuff. We can build more sets than you could ever build in live-action. We can build more props just for custom angles or perspectives. We'll build special trees for that, paint a sky. There's really no limitations, except that you run out of time and money at some point.

What I personally gravitate toward tends to be fantasy, medium dark - not too dark - fairy tales and sci fi. Stop-motion takes something on the page thats really dark and adds a little sweetness to it, a living toys realm.

I'm supporting an up-and-coming director. It's the time in my life that I want to share what I know and pass it along.

There's very few people who want to just make beautiful films that make money when they can make films that make huge money.

I feel I'm just meant to do stop-motion. Live-action is much more glamorous to some, but it's basically a whole army of people focused on one thing.
