Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog

This came off of the second disc of Disney's "Lady And The Tramp" DVD release.

I have a great book about the making of Fantasia, and it's full of storyboard drawings and other development sketches, many of them far more interesting than the final results.

Pure Disney propaganda, interesting to analysis through this perspective.
They didn't mention the work of Bill Peet, master storyteller and story artist for decades Walt double crossed to prevent him from being original.
Walt did just water things down to avoid taking risks, and of course everybody would kneel down because he owns the leash.
Big up to the artists at that time, not to Uncle Walt.

To InMyEyes:

You should take a look at the DVD for 101 Dalmatians; all they do is talk about Bill Peet.

InMyEyes, that's just a silly way of going about it. If it weren't for Walt, then those artists wouldn't have had jobs during the Depression, etc. Very narrow-minded way of looking at it. And yes, Peet gets a lot of air time in the 101 Dalmatians DVD.

Wow, this video was useful. I especially enjoyed and got something from the clips pertaining to storyboarding for live action films (e.g., The Kevin Costner clips and his commentary). I’m about to enter a 9-month storyboard production, for a feature animated picture, from a Director’s perspective. What luck to find such an inspirational video on DRAWN this morning. Oh, and our team is looking for some good story artists, please visit Wijio Worldwide Studios for more info. Thanks!

It's a fun mini doc and is a good primer for folks who have no idea what an animation Story artist does. By the way, I'm the guy with the long hair and green shirt who is barking like a dog as he pitches. In the clip, I'm pitching the "Human Again" board for the Special Edition of Beauty and The BEast to directors Kirk Wise and Gary Trousedale.

as an aspiring ginius, i think the story board is good
