The book scene from Paranorman is one of my favorite scenes that I’ve ever worked on. Chris Butler Brilliantly wrote it. Julian Narino brilliantly story boarded it. Super shout out to Jerry Svoboda for the brilliant rigging. Brilliantly Directed By Chris Butler and Sam Fell. Brad Schiff Brilliantly filled in for me on the 5th shot when Norman says “ehhhhhaaahhhh” when I went down with a four square injury…..
The boat scene from Kubo is the longest scene I’ve ever worked on. You’ll notice some black and white shots; those are animated by several different people: Ian Whitlock, Philippe Tardif, Antony Elworthy, Charles Greenfield, Danial Gil , and Ning Xu all did various shots. Ian Whitlock in particular did a lot of the Beetle close ups that are in black and white and really helped establish Beetle’s Character.
