“I was asking questions which nobody else had asked before, because nobody else had actually looked at certain structures. Therefore, as I will tell, the advent of the computer, not as a computer but as a drawing machine, was for me a major event in my life.

The computer has become a pencil to draw or paint the images that we see in a film.” MadeUseHandsTodayFilmCertainDesignChangedComputerDrawsToolsPaintProductionsTechniqueDrawingPencilsAnimationStoryboarding Author:Rob Minkoff
