Loved the interview, and cant wait to see nemo when it finally hits the cinemas here.

[kr3ml]

Ikk :cry: , I want to work at pixar right now !!! At least as a cleaner...:rolleyes:

[erilaz]

Carlos Baena is still one of my favourite animators of all time. Ever since I saw his "Toga Party" animation on his site I was hooked.:D

For those who haven't seen Baena's earlier work:

And Navone, who I never realised did the original Alien song!!!

?????

Just kidding uh? :beer:

[Larry_g1s]

Very cool. Thanks for the interview. I love reading stuff like that.

...but it does always make me a little depressed it's not me. <sigh> lol

Some day though. :love:

[d4rk]

Great interview, but is it just me or is this the old Victor Navone inter view with Carlos Baena mixed in? I swear there is another interview between Tee-toe and Victor that is exactly the same.

I'd never heard of Carlos Baena, but his stuff looks really cool!

CGNetworks is a cool site!

[BunnyBunny]

Great interview, very inspirering.:beer:

[Duffman]

Anyone know how big of an income these guys bring in? They must be making quite a bit of money... :shrug:

[d4rk]

I'd just be so stoked to work there, I wouldn't care that much. Never thought to ask that question either. My guess would be 50-60k a year :shrug: ?

[erilaz]

Bah... money... who cares? If it's getting you through and you're enjoying yourself, that's all that matters. Enjoying yourself and getting paid craploads is better though, I guess.:D

[leigh]

Cool interview, a very entertaining and rather enlightening read :thumbsup:

I love what Navone said "I'm never totally satisfied with a shot. Art is never finished, only abandoned."

[anobrin]

I was a member of the Old HASH A.M. list
when victor announced to the list that he was leaving to take a job at
Pixar.

it seems so long ago

[lildragon]

Glad you guys like it, I'm sure Victor and Carlos will see your comments sooner or later as they're already members here :)

salud!

[ninjacore]

:buttrock:

[Matt Leishman]

very inspiring interview, thanks Tito!! :beer:

I want to go home right now and just animate, Animate, ANIMATE!!!!

[Psybah]

Great Interview!!

tito: Great job on the interview. It was an awesome read. I checked out Victor's website, and after reading this interview and his "about" page, it's been very inspirational to keep one's head up and not give up.

[Peter Reynolds]

Great work Tito, as always.

...mmmmmmmm PIXAR....

[candlelighting]

very nice
Congrats to both Victor and Carlos:buttrock: :buttrock:

[Grgeon]

Thanks for the great interview Tito. Very inspiring indeed. These guys are totally awesome. Side note; Victor will be on a panel of animators tomorrow at Comic Con. Should be very interesting and insightful. These guys could be part of the next 9 old men.. err, young ... you know what I mean. hehe.

Great interview:love: :love: :love: Awesome!!! love every bit of it!

[SaucyJack]

Two fantastic animators and an inspiring interview(nice one Tito).:thumbsup:

Haven't animated for ages but i'm now inspired to take it up again. Nice to hear about the rejection letters. Got my first one from a company a couple of weeks ago and got cheesed off. Don't feel so bad though now. Might even apply again when i do some more work.

I'd work at Pixar for a packet of Bicuits. Hell, i'd do it for free.

Do they need a new tea-boy perhaps?

[mexus]

Muaaaa Muaaa!
Enough already..

I am a box inside another box that just wants to think outside the box and meet Victor Navone and Carlos Baena.





I'll see you soon guys.

[S_3D_A]

Just something nice to read while your stuck at work on a saturday very inspiring thanks Lil_D for the interview.

[Pinionist]

Patience and practice. Need to write it down somewhere :rolleyes: .
Anyway, great interview. Very inspiring and motivating.

That's actually a quote from Leonardo DaVinci...
