When I First Was Offered

When You Come Out Of The Other End Of A Long Process, Working With A Character [you Realize] This Character Has Really Shaped My Ideas.

I'm In The Early Stages Of A Film Called 'freezing Time' About Eadweard Muybridge, The Victorian Photographer Who Was Really The Forefather Of Cinema. Digital Animators Still Treat His Images Like The Bible. He Was A Very Obsessed Man.

No Matter How Extreme Things Get, It Still Has That Ring Of Truth About It That Backs The Characters - Even Though They're Despicable And What They're Doing Isn't Right You Still Care For Their Fate.

In Terms Of Animation, Animators Are Actors As Well. They Are Fantastic Actors. They Have To Draw From How They Feel Emotionally About The Beat Of A Scene That They're Working On. They Work Collaboratively.

I Have A Great Interest In Victorian Musical & Cabaret Performances And Weimar Artists So The References Are There, To Cabaret And Also All That Jazz And Other Films Where, Where There's A Kind Of (influential German Playwright Bertolt) Brecht-ian Approach, Almost To The Character Standing Outside Of Himself Or, In This Case, He's "self-séance-ing."
