	m-and-t.interview
		T: Before we quit Toei Doga, the era of TV animation had started, and it brought a sort of 'director-centralism' in, because there was no time to do such things.
		Otsuka Yasuo San (the animation director of 'Horus', 'Conan', and 'Castle of Cagliostro'), who invited me, used to be my Nakama at Toei Doga, and he was creating a very unique TV series called 'Mumin' at that time.
		For example, a key animator in the project said to the director, 'I think this is better', and after talking it over, they decided to incorporate that idea.

	Animation World Magazine
		Director of animation Ken Meyer was hired fresh out of Vancouver Film School by Lost Boys Studios, where he now serves as animation director and senior 3D artist.
		It seems an odd, or in any case arbitrary, choice to use this type of animation for a straightforward narrative, since the particular qualities of pinscreen animation are generally better suited to more abstract subject matter (e.g., Drouin's 1976 masterpiece, Mindscape).
		This visually imaginative computer animation gets a lot of mileage out of its exceedingly simple story, which is told in rhyme.

	Animeage/Reviews/Animation Runner Kuromi
		Besides the show itself, one of my favorite things on this dvd was the extras, which includes an interview with the director, and the English voice for Kuromi, Lisa Ortize, director’s commentary, alternate angle storyboards, and a brief look at the animation process.
		“Animation Runner Kuromi,” is only forty minutes long, but it’s a very fun forty minute story that educates fans on how anime is made.
		Kuromi is a fun, and spunky character that adds a lot of energy to the story, while Mamako is more of a laid back character (actually she’s the only one).

	John Lasseter: Director, VP of Pixar Animation Studios
		Director John Lasseter is a pioneer of the computer animation industry, co-director of Disney's new CG film, A Bug's Life, and VP of Pixar Animation Studios.
		Computer animation's evolution from novelty act to what Lasseter calls "a legitimate art form" has left him positive about what might lie ahead for his industry.
		Lasseter is familiar with this issue because Pixar, in just the three years since Toy Story's release, has had to digitally update all its old models, characters, and environments from that project while also creating an upcoming sequel.

	Angie Glocka
		In the animation end of it I think I'm the only woman I know who has ever held a director position; meaning I was assistant animation director on "Bump in the Night".
		Animation projects tend to be very loosely organized, and a lot of important work-related information is spread very casually, i.e.
		The consensus of opinion on the streets is that a background in stop-motion lends itself well to learning 3D-CG because stop-motion animators are used to thinking in 3 dimensions, instead of the 2 like traditional animators work with.
