its amazing that all that time at Disney they never once tought of letting the man do a short...especially in the later years when they were focusing more on CGI & he was probably sitting around doing nothing(yes I know he worked on Tangled but still.)

The phone acts as a window you can move around with a spherical space. I haven't tried it because I have an iphone.

Pretty sure that was posted a while back. It was shown during the same presentation as the actual short. Not sure Why Cartoon Brew is acting like its new.

Beethoven’s 9th symphony? Could be interesting. The question is if that is going to be animation meant for cel phones too.
But, to me, the ultimate goal is to have the computer doing what it does best and hand-drawn doing what it does best. In the case of Duet, I felt like it was a really natural balance between those two. What the virtual world was creating was dimension and space, and I had to animate in a way that made you believe that, no matter where you turned, those drawings were existing in space. And we did that by placing animation on a Maya card, and moving it so that wherever you turned, it would be there in position as if you could never have missed that character. It was a very natural three-dimensional world, and it reminded me of when I was a child and I would draw, I wouldn’t draw just to do a flat drawing on a piece of paper. I would draw to make the paper go away and step into a dimensional world. That was my experience with Duet. There’s a truly deep, dimensional world and I had no limits. I could go as high up or deep down or in space, or far to the right, or far to the left or diagonally. There were no limits.
I wonder if that will affect the way future hand drawn movies will be made.


Also, I didn't know he could speak French: http://vimeo.com/108369601

Another interview: http://filmmakermagazine.com/88591-i-se ... IoQFMt0xjo
Without the right music I was afraid it would come off as too cheesy. I did a sketch of myself dancing on the edge of a block of cheese as a reminder that both Scot and I were agreeing that was the edge we were going to balance on.

Duet is the first fruit that has fallen from the Glen Keane Productions tree. There is a certain quality to it that I intend to continue to strive for in future projects.

The look of traditional hand-drawn animated movies is a look that was developed in the technical limitations of needing to paint on cells and clean up the original animation drawings — this no longer applies. The future of hand-drawn is wide open thanks to computer technology. Ironically, it is the computer that will set hand-drawn free to become its purest self.

I imagine an artist like Degas alive today. If you did not show him any traditional hand-drawn animated movies but instead showed him what is possible with moving pastel drawing in space and keeping the integrity of texture and color . . . what would he come up with? I feel we are at the beginning of something new in hand-drawn, similar to CG in the late ’80s.

^uh, yeah. :headshake: I thought it was amazing just the way it was. Id watch a whole film of just Keane's drawings. The music was great too. So this is for a video game? Be cool to see him design a whole game.

Could use more inbetweens if you ask me, it feels noticably less fluid than even his last two shorts. But I cant complain too much when the animation itself is so well done. Didn't even know he was working on this one.

I find this one a bit more enjoyable if you double the playback speed.

I think that too. Glenn Keane's drawings are beautiful and it feels more artistic this way.
