Animation is manipulating the difference.

The process of art evolving is always one which has fascinated me.

Well rounded forms gives smooth sounds; sharper or angular forms give harder and harsher sounds.

Unless it's done superbly, as in the Japanese film Gate of Hell, color can be a very distracting element.

I have tried to preserve in my relationship to the film the same closeness and intimacy that exists between a painter and his canvas.

So people will come along and do new things and sometimes return to the spirit of an earlier age.

I like black and white films. I don't exactly know why - probably because there is a stylization which is removed from actual life, unlike a color film.
