Jeff Podacst on Tall Tales Radio




Title is a link to the podcast.
Tom Racine questions Jeff ....

[t’s time to talk to Jeff Ranjo, story artist at Disney, and John Sanford, story artist at Dreamworks…between them, over 30 years of animation experience, having worked on films like “Surf’s Up,” “Mulan,” “Chicken Little” and “Home on the Range.” John also does the brilliant webcomic “Chippy and Loopus.” We did a great show about animated films in general back on Episode 25, talking about our favorite and not-so-favorite films and TV shows.

This time, we get into the nitty-gritty of how animated films are actually made. Who pitches the story? Who green lights the film? When does character design start, and what does it take to become a character designer? How long does the process take? How is scripting done? When is music added?...and more]

Neat sketches. Who is the guy in the polka dot tie? He looks sorta familiar.

Mr Goodson said...

Deane, the guy is from a very public domain group of movies called COMBAT PACK. He was some British Officer with very geometric features. I added the polka dots as my brain was idling.

Great PODCAST by the way. Everyone but Jeff listen to it.
Great info and the three guys do a good job back and forth.
Jeff's Skype isn't as good as John's so it sounds like he's in the next room but other than that, very good.
