And, I also love the idea that these girls were navigating a blatantly misogynistic society, with the girdle checks and make-up checks.” IdeasGirlChecksMisconceptionGirdlesStewardess Author:Christina Ricci

“When we make films - even 2D films - you're always trying to create this illusion of 3D, anyway. You're trying to create a believable world with characters walking, in and out of the perspective, to create the illusion that there's a world. The desire and drive to create this illusion of three-dimensional space is something that is true about every kind of film because you want the audience to really be experiencing it, first hand. It's a natural extension of the storytelling and the process of filmmaking.” WorldWantTryingFirstsKindCharacterHandsFilmDesireThreeProcessNaturalSpaceAudiencePerspectiveWalkingIllusionStorytellingFilmmakingExtensionsAlways TryingBelievable Author:Rob Minkoff
“Films are made the same today, as they've ever been made, in certain respects. The scriptwriting, the pre-production, the storyboarding, and the designing are all the same. The technique of animation has changed, in the sense that rather than drawing it by hand, we use a computer as a tool. The computer has become a pencil to draw or paint the images that we see in a film.” MadeUseHandsTodayFilmCertainDesignChangedComputerDrawsToolsPaintProductionsTechniqueDrawingPencilsAnimationStoryboarding Author:Rob Minkoff

“I think all great comedies - or at least the comedies I like - it has some of the funniest moments, but it never breaks the spell for the audience. It never pushes the audience away by spoofing itself too much or undermining the characters or making them cardboard or flimsy. Everybody is really trying to do what their characters believe in - and so nobody breaks the spell of the world, even though in other ways it's a comedy and very funny.” ThinkingWorldWayTryingBelieveMomentsCharacterBreakAudienceComedyToo MuchSpellsUnderminingGreat Comedy Author:James Franco
“A big part of filmmaking, and a big part of the power of filmmaking, is creating characters that people fall in love with. So, those things, like the bloopers, create more reality and dimension, and the sense that these are not drawings or shadows, but they are living, breathing, thinking characters.

“An actor uses his body as a tool and an instrument. In the same way a musician plays an instrument, the actor uses his body to convey feeling and emotion. An animator uses a pencil or a computer to create the same thing, the same exact way... An actor is taking words that are not his own, and he has to bring some kind of authentic life to those words. It's the same goal, to create this authentic life. Even if it's a drawing, or if it's a cartoon, you're still trying to create authenticity because, if the character emotes authentically, it has a power to connect with the audience.” IfsWayTryingKindStillsPlayCharacterUseFeelingsBodyActorsGoalEmotionAudienceComputerMusicianToolsInstrumentsDrawingAuthenticityCartoonPencilsFeelings And EmotionsAnimatorAuthentic LifeEmote Author:Rob Minkoff
