I'm Not A Public Enough Persona To

I Get Rewarded Virtually Every Day With Something Amazing To See - Whether It's A New Shot, A Miniature Sweater, Someone Who's Figured Out How To Make The Hair Look Really Great. We Found A Way To Do The Rain, Finally. And Mud. Make The Trees. So I Get To Stay In Constant Motion As A Director, You Know, Reviewing Things. And There's A Lot To Review.

I Feel Like What We Love To Do Is Solve Problems. If It's Easy To Solve, We Find A More Difficult One. There's Always A Way. In Our World, We Can Build Stuff. We Can Build More Sets Than You Could Ever Build In Live-action. We Can Build More Props Just For Custom Angles Or Perspectives. We'll Build Special Trees For That, Paint A Sky. There's Really No Limitations, Except That You Run Out Of Time And Money At Some Point.

What I Personally Gravitate Toward Tends To Be Fantasy, Medium Dark - Not Too Dark - Fairy Tales And Sci Fi. Stop-motion Takes Something On The Page Thats Really Dark And Adds A Little Sweetness To It, A Living Toys Realm.

I Have More Faith In Doing Something Creative For A Cable Station Or Something Like Yahoo Or Google Or Amazon. What Netflix Did With 'house Of Cards' And David Fincher Was Brilliant. That Is Inspiring To Me. I Think There Is More Chance For Creativity In Animation, It Just Hasn't Happened There Yet.

There's Always Kids Who Become Stop Motion Animators. I Get Stuff All The Time. They Put It On Youtube. It's Exciting To See.
