- A Desk's Journey.... Here a little story about my old Disney animation desk. Someone recently contacted me about it. (I signed the underside of the tabletop)... #disneyanimation #kdunc9 #animationdesk
- "Hercules Footage Report". The final weekly report. We used "footage" to asses the work total. (1 foot = 16 frames of 35mm film). The goal was to average 5' a week (16x5 =80 frames). My own animation total was 4 minutes of the film. Along with supervising others, and attending countless meetings.
- I'd been finishing up the animation of Meg, when I was asked by the Tarzan directors to be Supervising Animator of "Jane". The film was already in production so I started later the other animators. Some of Tarzan was already rough animated, such as this one; this is one of my early Jane tests.
- Additional Belle scenes that I animated; the Library sequence....some in color, some as pencil tests. The Beast was beautifully animated by Tony DeRosa. (clip via Giuseppe di Maio) #beautyandbeast #belle #disneyanimation #penciltest #2danimation
- Belle Animation The 2nd film I'd worked on after arriving at Disney. I mainly animated some of Belle in the film, including these scenes with Gaston. Animators: Belle- Ken D. Gaston- Andreas Deja LeFou-Chris Wahl Bimbettes- Dave Burgess #beautyandbeast #belle #disneyanimation #bellegaston
- Meg's kiss; My animation of the kiss; it seemed appropriate that Meg took charge here. Hercules animation: Andrea's Deja (Thanks for Jake Lee Animation's post) #herculesmeg #penciltest #2danimation #kiss #disneyanimation
- Aladdin: During the "Friends Like Me" song, I animate these belly dancers who appear from flames and run over to Aladdin. The producer, who took belly dance classes, advised that placing one foot forward on a toe will allow the hip/pivot action. #bellydance #penciltest #2Danimation #aladdin
- Although I wasn't the supervisor of Jafar, I was part of the animation team, during "Aladdin". This is one of the scenes I animated. He was calm in the shots prior to this one (speaking to king) and then he builds into this anger... #jafar #disneyhercules #2danimation #kdunc9 #penciltest
- More Captain Amelia designs Trying out head shapes, costumes, promotions, etc. It would take several weeks/months to get a final approved design (it needed to be animatable). #captainamelia #characterdesign #treasureplanet #femaleleader #kdunc9 #2danimation #disneyanimation
- Scroop test: Treasure Planet's ship was CG. I thought it'd be cool to have camera motion for his scenes. I animated his lower body in CG set and his upper body performance on paper. Unfortunately the film didn't have many camera moves to need this approach. Voice: Brad Dourif. #scroop #penciltest
- Scroop; Voice actor (Mark Hamill would have been cool). Scroop was painted digitally using Corel Painter (circa 1999) #scroop #treasureplanet #voiceactor #villain
- Scroop: Although I focused on animating "Captain Amelia", I also Supervised "Scroop" I animated this scene early in production. He was designed with a spider/crab lower body, crab claws, insect head, and some human upper body. Note his weird tongue. "Creepy" was the goal. #scroop #treasureplanet
- Doppler; During the early design phase of "Treasure Planet", I sketched a few ideas for Doppler. At the time, the directors wanted Jeff Goldblum to voice the character. (Sergio Pablos would design/animate Doppler). #doppler #treasureplanet #characterdesign #2danimation
