I Feel I'm Just Meant To Do

I Love All Sorts Of Animation, Probably The Most Beautiful Would Be The Tradtional Hand Drawn Animation That Disney Is Known For. Stop-motion Has A Certain "grittieness" And Is Filled With Imperfections, And Yet Their Is An Undeniable Truth, That What You See Really Exits, Even It If Is Posed By Hand, 24 Times A Second. This Truth Is What I Find Most Attractive About Stop-motion Animation.

I Feel Like What We Love To Do Is Solve Problems. If It's Easy To Solve, We Find A More Difficult One. There's Always A Way. In Our World, We Can Build Stuff. We Can Build More Sets Than You Could Ever Build In Live-action. We Can Build More Props Just For Custom Angles Or Perspectives. We'll Build Special Trees For That, Paint A Sky. There's Really No Limitations, Except That You Run Out Of Time And Money At Some Point.

Almost Any Modern Video Camera Can Take Stills, So There's Always This Fresh Crop Of Kids That Like Making Things And Moving Them By Hand. So It's As Much Our Desire To Keep It Going As What We Believe Is The Public's Desire For Handmade Stuff That Really Feels Handmade, Where They Aren't Being Tricked Into It Being Handmade.

This Golden Globe Nomination Is Sweet Validation For The Years Of Hard Work It Took To Bring Coraline To Life Using Stop-motion Animation With The Greatest Crew Of Animators, Artists, And Technicians I've Ever Been Privileged To Work With. I Share This Nomination With All Of Them And We All Share Our Thanks To The Hollywood Foreign Press.

There's Very Few People Who Want To Just Make Beautiful Films That Make Money When They Can Make Films That Make Huge Money.
