Host Daniel Durning speaks with two artists working at the forefront of 3D
animation.
Jeffrey Lerer is
currently working on a 3D animated film, Manuscript Fragments Found at the
Gilbert Hotel, based on his novel of a collection of vignettes, written in
26 fragments (a-z) and presented as a series of three dimensional computer
animations. Using painterly composition and color, this filmmaker and animator
has brought to life the strange characters from his 1950s noir flophouse with
the finesse, beauty and camera methodology reminiscent of Hitchcock.
Michael Ferraro is a founding
father of 3D animation, from work his on Tron-the-first 3D animated feature
film-to being one of the original partners of Blue Sky Studios, the Academy
Award winning 3D animation house that produced Ice Age and now, Robots.
