"There are great animators just as there are great actors I
gave a talk once using [digital] animation from the [1996] movie Dragon
Heart. I showed two sequences and asked the audience which they
believed; they said one sequence but not the other, as they said it
looked fake. I said, "Yes, but why?" They couldn't tell me. The
interesting thing was, it was the same technology and the same
[animation] model; the only thing different was the animator. You can be
convincing without being real."
Brad Bird is everywhere right now, promoting
Tomorrowland. This
interview has a fair amount to say about animation.
