The problem with any tool is that it's useless unless you take the time to learn it. That's all I'm trying to do. I think if I went for anything more professional, it would just slow me down. Believe me, I've tried a bunch of approaches, but what is working for me now is to try the simplest, which is to use GarageBand. I am getting faster, but like I said before, it's not so much what I'm using, but how much time I have to do it. -Clay Johan- Don’t worry about it, you asked a straighforward question and I gave a straighforward answer.

I was just trying to point out that you could possibly get it done while spending less time whith the right tools. As for the advertising bit. You have at least persuaded me to rewatch our old Disney videos and made me sorely tempted to but the Tarzan DVD. I hope you did not take my suggestion as a criticism.

Thanks for the praise. OllieZero- You're not giving me very good odds, but I'll certainly add his name to my growing list of people to interview. The only reason I've only talked to Disney guys is because I'm starting with people (and a history) I know the best. There's nothing keeping me from talking to anyone from another studio. Thanks for the suggestion. Josh- I appreciate the compliment - keeps me going. Johan- First thing first, I work full time as an animator and I just spent the better part of this year finishing on Chicken Little (something that has taken plenty of time and energy), and the job comes first. Second, being an animator doesn't make one an editor, and most certainly not a pro editor, so I'm learning as I go. Third, this is a personal hobby of mine that I'm sharing with you and anyone else who cares to listen (for free), and Disney has nothing to do with it and I'd like to keep it that way. Any "advertising" for Disney is coincidental and only a result of learning about the people I admire in animation. Lamont- Glad to see you’re so excited about the lineup from Disney.

I am asking because I have seen pro's editing television interviews and it does not take long time. They are of course more experienced but they also probaly have better software. Can't you get Disney to let you use Avida or something since you are doing such fine advertisement for them? May I ask what it is that takes so long time when you are editing the shows?

You probably cannot do this, because the guy works for the WB. "Craig McCraigen" (Not sure on the spelling) He's been creating neat cartoons such as: "Powerpuff Girls," http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/ppg/index.html "Dexter's Labratory" http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/dexter/index.html "Foster's Home for imaginary Friends" http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/fosters/index.html So... If you can (95% chance you can't) try and get an interview with him. And about Chicken Little: Didn't that come out in 1999? Hey Clay,

“Powerpuff Girls,”

“Dexter’s Labratory”

“Foster’s Home for imaginary Friends”

So… If you can (95% chance you can’t) try and get an interview with him.
And about Chicken Little: Didn’t that come out in 1999?

Visually, I'm most excited about American Dog and Repunzal, but the whole list made me giddy when I walked into the SIGGRAPH Exhibit Hall! As an animator looking for a chance to work on some future classics, these short clips and concept art made me drool and reminded me why Disney has been my dream job since I was 8 or 9! Thanks for the excitement booster! It's gonna be tough to wait a year between these flicks! :) but I think I can make it!! and Clay, can we ever stop singing the praises of this site? don't think so! :) That’s AWESOME to hear about not just Chicken Little, but the whole line up!

Disney gets the ball rolling 2 minutes into Chicken Little and it only gains steam with Wilbur Robinson. There's some tremendous talent coming out of not just the animators and artists, but the story team and directors as well. I can't tell you how much I admire my co-workers. And Mark, Steve, Chris and Glen, well, it's phenomenal to have talent like all of them in the same building. Chicken Little is a movie that I can't wait to see all finished, and I've seen it a dozen times. I'm drooling over every final frame of Wilbur. And American Dog, just the concept paintings make me want to weep. I'm excited about the lineup at Disney now. And not just as an animator, but as a movie-goer. I want these movies to be done so that I can see them! Don’t worry. Disney gets the ball rolling 2 minutes into Chicken Little and it only gains steam with Wilbur Robinson.

Like most of the animation world, I'm looking forward to seeing the impact of Chicken Little, but if the clips are just an ounce of what is to come, then Chicken Little could even start that ball rolling! If the era of Nine Old Men is the Golden Age at Disney, and The Ninties were the Silver Age, then could Chicken Little be the start of the BRONZE AGE??? One can only wait and hope! :) No matter what, I know it's gonna be great and the films to follow are going to be showing the world that Disney may have been quiet, but they've never been OUT of the game! whoa..sorry for getting a little excited there...Gotta lay off the Coca-cola so early in the morning!! anyways..thanks Clay for working so hard on this site and on your animation. The passion shows through and can't wait to see you supervise on American Dog!! By the way..what character are you supervising on? Unless that's top secret of course!! -Lamont Great work with Chicken Little and the site!
