Like Walt Disney, he doesn't even have to be a guy who can draw, just a guy who can see what's supposed to be on the screen and hear how it's supposed to sound. <BR/><BR/>Back on my first show, we had some of the best directors in the world (literally) and the best board artists and bg guys, the best music director and voice director. But we had no clear vision, so everyone did his very best work, with no concern for the show itself. <BR/><BR/>There are moments when the best gag is no gag. The best music is no music. The best dialog is no dialog.hoopcooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034499696886871406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-75233695856971332262008-02-16T18:17:00.000-08:002008-02-16T18:17:00.000-08:00In studios where schedules and budgets are ultra-t...In studios where schedules and budgets are ultra-tight, which today describes nearly all TV animation production, this theory holds water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
