However, you have to know that you were incredibly important to me in the making of those films, and I put a lot of faith in you (which I felt was always rewarded) and your animation. <BR/>As for favorite pieces, my favorite piece you did was in "The Tin Frog" from the poetry film we did. I love that short piece enormously.Michael Spornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018522723674960270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-87819337720612109102007-10-07T20:42:00.000-04:002007-10-07T20:42:00.000-04:00I hope they video tape the interview !I hope they video tape the interview !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-75335474114783545702007-10-07T15:31:00.000-04:002007-10-07T15:31:00.000-04:00Michael, the best animation I did for you was on M...Michael, the best animation I did for you was on Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. I did next to nothing on The Red Shoes.<BR/><BR/>On Ira Sleeps Over, I know that I shared the song with Dante Barbetta. I can't remember if I had to leave the production for some reason or if I couldn't hit the deadline and handed some of the song back to you. In any case, when I saw Dante's animation I instantly knew I was outclassed.<BR/><BR/>I'm still grateful to you for sending me work during that time and I did my best on it, but there's no question that you had many other animators whose work was superior to mine. That's not modesty, it's fact.Mark Mayersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065971589878678848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-73087339884499486342007-10-07T12:36:00.000-04:002007-10-07T12:36:00.000-04:00Thanks for the mention Mark, but you're too modest...Thanks for the mention Mark, but you're too modest as usual to mention your own name. You did some great animation on a number of the films to be shown. I think inmmediately of your great number in <B>Ira Sleeps Over</B> as well as the end of <B>The Red Shoes</B>.Michael Spornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018522723674960270noreply@blogger.com
