"Hi. I'm Robert Zemeckis and I love Mo-Cap so much that I married it. Now all my children are digital puppets, but they're more human than human. So there."
Apparently Robert Zemeckis feels that the Motion Picture Academy should create a separate award recognizing Mo-Cap Movies. Here’s an article with more info. Thanks Mark.
Zemeckis, Lucas, and Spielberg really make me feel like there’s some sort of shelf-life for certain creatives. I know this isn’t true because I really enjoy Clint Eastwood’s movies but then again he hasn’t been directing that long.
So this begs the question; Does a combination of power, consecutive bouts of success, and large amounts of money birth an uncreative monster who’s become out of touch with what’s good entertainment/storytelling?
This hasn’t happened at Pixar but it seems like they have a system set in place of creative checks and balances that stop any one director from thinking his ideas are the best and always will be.
One thing is for sure; somebody has too many yes-men.
Hot (well, lukewarm) on the heels of our Muppet episode, several people have brought this to our attention. It’s pretty great.
So I just heard about this the other day and i’m pretty excited to see who’s still gonna be around after earth 1 and earth 2 combine….

A funny, nostalgic little Comic+song from Brawl In The Family. I love the Super Metroid reference(s).
A tender love ballad for your Friday afternoon.
For all of you professionals out there, a little something to ease your pain. Or make it much much worse.
Clients from Hell collects horrible horrible notes from clients in various fields of industry. My favorite:
“We have an animation budget of about $1200. We are looking for character designs, storyboards and animation. We are thinking along the lines of that Pixar Film with fish in it. You know the one? Finding Nema? It’ll get you good exposure. We’ll put it on Virgin Airlines.”
Sigh.
Thanks to Mark. Go check out his really great pop culture/illustration blog.
