	Don Hertzfeldt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Don Hertzfeldt (born August 1, 1976) is the creator of many short animated films.

		Hertzfeldt is a graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara.

	Welcome to Bitter Films
		Don animated the lip synchs of many characters before any dialogue was recorded (and in some places, written!), requiring the actors to perform their lines against the finished cartoon, a very backwards method: although this is generally a bad idea, it allowed for fresh improvisation.
		Don performed some experiments with the animation camera's motor to achieve the desired camera and motion blurs, whereas the crumple and paper effects are a simple blend of stop-motion-animated paper and traditional animation, not unlike Genre.
		Hertzfeldt seems to be warning prospective employees about what could happen if he were expected to promote insipid children’s programming, or to hawk frozen fish sticks with his talent for animation.

		don: i typically don't use scripts, the films are usually fleshed out one sequence at a time in my head...
		don: they were kind of irritating though because you could draw through the whole thing and then have to flip the entire book over to draw on the backs of the rest of the pages
		don: that was up the air last year (the book, not governor) and got sort of swept aside for the time being along with a bunch of other stuff

		Hertzfeldt was nominated for an Oscar for his brilliant short Rejected.
		In twelve minutes, Hertzfeldt deconstructs mankind's existence via his traditional stick figure characters, which he then abandons halfway through the film in favor of Brakhage-esque swirls of cosmic paint and gorgeous lighting effects - which apparently were all done in camera.
		Hertzfeldt's vision is grand in scope, abstract and challenging; if When The Day Breaks could be compared to Magnolia, then the most appropriate correlation here would be the last ten minutes of Kubrick's 2001.

	'Animation Show' funny, thoughtful \| Arizona Daily Star ®
		Don Hertzfeldt either can't or chooses not to draw very well, but that liability doesn't stop the twisted mastermind from being a distinguished animator.
		Hertzfeldt and Judge - who tosses in some circa-1990 pencil-sketched quickies - provide maybe about a third of the material, all of which gleams with the creative comic energy that has won the two animators legions of fans.
		Hertzfeldt's "The End of the Show" starts off with one of his characters passionately ranting about the importance of the animation medium and the aspirations of the show, but he's interrupted by a group of rampaging killer robots, and the rest of the 'toon is an all-out, guns-blazing battle.

		Don Hertzfeldt is a short-film animator who has made it to the top.
		Hertzfeldt, along with his business partner Robert May and UT radio-television-film professor Geoff Marslett, spoke in a graduate class Wednesday about their views on animation, the industry and the technical aspects of animation.
		Speaking in the class, May, Hertzfeldt and Marslett recognized the stigma on animation, which is generally thought of as a "for-kids" medium.

		Ah, L'Amour is Don Hertzfeldt's first animated short; it was completed as a college project in 1995, and was considered by Hertzfeldt himself to be an embarrassment.
		Despite this, the short went on to win numerous awards, launching Hertzfeldt and his studio, Bitter Films, into cult status.
		The film itself revolves around the many relationships the creator had throughout the years; that is, in a brutal, exaggerated, and comically masochistic fashion.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: The Animation Show
		Hertzfeldt’s official selection is Rejected, his most recently completed short, and it is difficult to describe, except to say that it is a particularly astute marriage of, among other things, dancing fuzzy things and oceans of blood.
		Hertzfeldt’s cartoons are typically minimalist, but the expressions he gives his stick-figure-ish characters are priceless; they must be seen to be believed, or at least fully comprehended.
		It’s fitting that in his seemingly casual, improvised way, Hertzfeldt’s bumpers are as good as some of the fully-formed material and, more to the point, made me laugh harder than any live-action comedy has in months.

	Echo Online :: Arts & Entertainment :: Old School animator keeps art alive with pen and paper
		Hertzfeldt is one of the few animators left who sticks to doing most things "the hard way." Save for post-production, he does almost everything-- animation, photography and visual effects-- without the assistance of a computer.
		In 2003, Hertzfeldt teamed up with "King of the Hill" creator Mike Judge to create "The Animation Show," an animated short film festival spanning the country (as well as seven others), which aims to give animators and directors the recognition they deserve by putting them up on the big screen.
		Hertzfeldt's next film, currently titled "Everything Will Be Okay," is aimed to be a comedy of sorts, in the vein of "Rejected" or "Lily & Jim" with a hint of "Meaning of Life." After spending so long on his previous film, he's sworn off any future four-year projects.

		Once members of animation’s elite Spike and Mike’s Twisted Animation Festival, Don Hertzfeldt and Bill Plympton have been plucked from the collective and placed together to create their own traveling film capade, The Don and Bill Show.
