Just started listening to these, and they are the most wonderful way to start my day of animation. Thankyou so much.

I had to tell you how amazing these podcasts are! Thank you for having Andreas Deja. He’s my favorite animator. I’ve only been able to read tiny quotes from him in books and articles on his work up to this point. I’ve been wanting to be a character designer since I first saw Beauty and the Beast at age 6, and I’m periodically told that there is no way to get there from where I am so it’s encouraging to hear about how other people made their way into animation–It’s really the coolest thing ever that you made this website. Thank you so much!

Hey, Clay.

Thank you for this website. It is good to see that people still want to hear from the “Hand Drawn Animations Magicians” and they are there to talk to us.

Congratulations!

John-
You’re fortunate to have worked with him. The closest I ever got (so far) was on Fantasia 2000. He animated the shot right before one of mine, in the ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ sequence. John dancing with the monkey at the peanut stand was his, and then I did them walking in to the pet shop. That was my first official shot ever. Just knowing the first frame of my shot connected to the last of his was daunting. Then we actually had to meet and talk about the hookup. Man, I was so thrilled and scared but as we can all hear, he’s one of the nicest and most enthusiastic people you’ll ever meet.

Thanks for chiming in John!

Hello Clay! Great show! I was Andreas Deja’s assistant on Jafar and on Scar.
The intensity in which he works was amazing… as well as his never ending enthusiasm for his work. When we’d be nearing a deadline, he’d have an incredible workload yet he was always full of energy. His rough drawings had such energy but wonder attention to detail in the expressions of his characters. In such simple shapes he would pose the characters and they would be full of expression! His rough drawings are fantastic pieces of art. It was a great experience working for him, I’m glad I could be part of his team and be part of Disney history. Besides that, he has such a great sense of humor.

Gill,
Read Stef’s comment above for a link to a German site that has more information. That’s the most I know about it.
