“I'm still learning. I've never done a digital project before. And I'm pretty sure I did things to the software that weren't supposed to be done.” StillsDoneProjectsSupposed To BeDigitalSoftware Author:Don Hertzfeldt

I wanted to teach myself some digital stuff in advance of a bigger feature project that's coming up, and I took to it really quickly.” TryingYearsDifferentWantedFilmStuffTeachPaperProjectsBiggerFeaturesDigitalPencilsTablets Author:Don Hertzfeldt
“I have friends and illustrators who can't stand drawing on the Cintiq. [A graphic pad tablet used by digital animators] There's a certain tension and friction when you draw on paper that they miss. The tablet is very slick. It's like drawing on glass. But that didn't bother me at all.” UsedCertainMissingPaperDrawsGlassesDrawingBotherTensionDigitalGraphicPadsFrictionTabletsSlickAnimatorIllustrators Author:Don Hertzfeldt
“Traditionally, digital projects, when you project them, they get really washed out. It's complicated stuff with gamma, but basically your blacks get very milky and the colors get very weak, and we made so many different versions of it to just pump more color into it, so it would look just as good in the theater as it does on your screen at home. And color was my constant whine. It needed to be very oversaturated.” LooksDoeMadeDifferentHomeStuffColorNeededProjectsWeakTheaterConstantComplicatedScreensVersionsDigitalGet RealPumps Author:Don Hertzfeldt
