A BEAST for a SMOOK


My friend Smook thought I should put up animation keys I have done on past productions. I couldn't get the hole page scanned, the paper is 16 FLD and my scanner is only 8.5 by 11. The top is who tight I would go to had off to an assistant and the 2nd is a rough before I tighten.
B&B2 1996 Disney Toronto Canada , my first Disney production.
This character has a special place in my heart. I do miss Classical ... You have to do it to understand it.
I always admired Frank Thomas Ward Kimball and Glen Keane . They animated with emotion you could see it in the hard and soft of there pencil lines on the paper. They were searchers, meaning they would feel the drawing out and when things would come into light there pencil would harden in it determination an pull the character out. This was vey much how I animated.
I always said if Frank Thomas, Ward Kimball and glen Keane were fused as one he would have been a kickass son of a bitch. I also looked to the other greats don't get me wrong , but in my beginning years I would look to those three and study their work. To give me a foundation to start from.
