Miyazaki's Films In Japan Are Bigger Than

I'm Supporting An Up-and-coming Director. It's The Time In My Life That I Want To Share What I Know And Pass It Along.

I Love The Culture Of Animation. What Stop-motion Has In Common With Live-action Is That It Has Many Of The Same Departments. There's Hair, Costume, Makeup In The Form Of Paint, Gaffers, Electricians. So There's The Same Sense Of Real Stuff, Real Light. But It's Not Like Everything Happens At Once, Like It Does In Live-action. It's All Subdivided Into These Small Sets. It's Where My Strengths Are. Live-action Is Just An Utterly Different World, And I'm Not A Public Enough Persona To Be Big And Loud At The Front Of The Ship. I'd Rather More Quietly Interact With The Artisan Animators.

Having To Make A Blockbuster Every Time Puts Unhealthy Pressure On Creatives. The Pressure On The Filmmakers Is So Intense, I Think It Stifles The Creativity.

'coraline' Is Neil Gaiman's Book, It Sold A Lot, It Has A Big Fan Base. It Was Originally Conceived To Be Live Action, But I Never Really Wanted It To Be. I Always Thought That It Would Work Better As An Animated Film.

I'm Looking At Some Comedic Horror Films Because I Have Often Been Accused Of Being Too Dark. I'm Not Dark, Not Compared With 'saw' Or Anything Like That. So I'm Looking At Live-action Horror Films, But Not Slasher Ones - Ones That Have Humor And Maybe Some Social Satire.
