Your Friend the Rat

00:00:05 Hi, I'm Jim Capobianco.

00:00:29 "to actually use some of this in the short?"

00:00:58 and they all just had a blast

00:01:33 I think we were really trying to find our own voice within that

00:01:59 to get this information across

00:02:35 You're just pinpointing what areas you want to animate.

00:03:07 That little final bug kick.

00:03:39 by Teddy Newton, Nate and Scott Morse.

00:04:07 or in the black plague era

00:04:33 and even the way the animation was styled

00:04:55 You know, CG, everything is kind of spelled out for you

00:05:19 is it's just. . . You have one shot at it

00:05:41 but it was really cheesy and silly at the same time.

00:06:12 Just bits and pieces from everywhere. I don't know where he gets it all.

00:06:37 it's just some really funny drawings within this.

00:07:09 was one of the first bits of animation

00:07:31 Yeah, one of the difficulties we had with the animators

00:08:04 The three scientists there.

00:08:32 Yeah, that was really cool because Sarah animated everything by hand

00:09:09 Kind of like Schoolhouse Rock.

00:09:41 it sort of has that.

00:10:07 I love this sort of integration of CG and the 2D playing.

00:10:42 And it was a joy to make this short

00:11:10 All right, thank you.
