I love the Sweetland interviews. So funny. He sounds like he has a great personality and is a blast to work with. Awesome interview Andrew! I have listened to all of them at least twice but this one by far is the best. I do have to say though when Brad Bird was busting on you for having your phone on during his interview was classic too. Hey fire back…tease him for his nerdy appearance in the Amazing Stories episode he was in. If I remember he was a science nerd or something. Funny.

Keep up the great work.

Great interview, Andrew, thanks again for doing these.
It’s fascinating to hear Doug talk about his approach to acting–it’s much more rigorous than a lot of visually oriented animators.

Re: the motion-blurring stuff you guys were talking towards the end: I don’t know how Marionette works, obviously, but at Blue Sky there was a workaround animators were sometimes able to use–setting sub-frames to keep the blur from doing a straight, smooth interpolation and making every snappy motion look like Alan Cummings’ character in the X-Men movies.
Anyway, however you handled it you guys did an amazing job on Presto. One request only: Your levels on these interviews are hellaciously low. Love the outtakes, tho’.

This was a really “sweet” splinecast. It was awesome to hear about the process of development of Presto. Thanks a lot for these splinecasts. Looking forward to more of them!

Wow Such a good splinecast, very inspiring! I loved the invaluable tangent, very funny. Doug seems like such an energetic guy, must have been a real pleasure to work under him.

Andrew- do you think you might want to direct a short sometime in the future?
