“I had very little involvement with 'TinTin'. Very little involvement. So I can't really elaborate on that either.” Quote by Janusz Kaminski
“We exchanged a couple of ideas and stuff like that, but that's about it. I just think ... consulting on 'Tintin' was very interesting because you try to ... not educate, but inform the animators [about] what the lighting looks like, but [in the end] they do it themselves. I don't actually go and sit there with them. [We] just had a couple of conversations.” ThinkingTryingLooksIdeasEndsStuffInterestingCoupleConversationEducateVery InterestingLightingConsultingAnimator Author:Janusz Kaminski
