“It's a lot easier to teach someone how to use a computer than it is to teach someone how to be an artist, so we figured if they can animate with a pencil, we can teach them how to animate with a computer.” IfsUseArtistTeachEasierComputerPencils Author:Victor Navone
“I grew up with a pencil. A pencil was my computer at the time and so drawing, drawing, drawing and the tools of drawing where the usual ones and eventually then you graduated from the tools when the work increases and you start to draw by freehand as precise as possible and as accurate as possible, and I was pretty good at that.” GrewComputerGrew UpDrawsToolsIncreaseDrawingUsualAccuratePrecisePencils Author:Massimo Vignelli

“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
“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
“When I was in architecture school, rather than giving us drafting boards and t-squares and lead pencils and stuff they gave us all the same tools that places like Digital Domain and ILM used to make features films or special effects. They gave us all these digital tools like Alias and Mya and Soft Image and all these kind of high-end computers, so I came out of architecture school knowing how to use all that stuff.

“I don't even own a computer. I write by hand then I type it up on an old manual typewriter. But I cross out a lot - I'm not writing in stone tablets, it's just ink on paper. I don't feel comfortable without a pen or a pencil in my hand. I can't think with my fingers on the keyboard. Words are generated for me by gripping the pen, and pressing the point on the paper.” ThinkingFeelsWritingI CanHandsTypePaperComfortableComputerStonesCrossesFingersPensOld ManPencilsInkTypewritersManualsKeyboardsGrippingTablets Author:Paul Auster

“I use a computer, but before I begin each new book I keep a notebook. I write down everything that comes to mind during that period before I actually begin. It might take months or weeks.
