Apocolypse Panda
Wastelander Panda Prologue from Epic Films on Vimeo.
more and more stuff is popping up in kickstarter type things. This is what it looks like when there's not gatekeepers? Creator's go straight to audience for funding? Going straight out to the audience instead of winding through theaters or tv.

Glen Keane Interview in French
english transcript here
Rencontre avec Glen Keane by cloneweb
Would you consider going back to directing?
GK: Possibly… but I developed this idea mostly to create a character.
For me, I really think of the heart of the character… Ariel or Beast… and afterwards I start to develop a story. So I’m a different kind of director perhaps.
I started developing Rapunzel so I could animate her.
If there’s another character that interests me, maybe – and no one else is going to direct the film
Many directors used to be animators. They had to stop animating when they took the role of director. John Lasseter, for example.
GK: That’s not me.
But for me, the best moment of the creative process is the moment where I draw at my table, with the light… That is the magic moment for me. Not necessarily the moment the film is projected on the big screen.
I feel like a line is like a kind of seismograph… of emotions.
when you animate with the computer it’s always trying to seduce the animator into accepting something other than what they envisioned, to accept something less
So I encouraged the animators on Tangled to have something really personal to say. This is important. If we don’t have something that comes from inside the soul, we’ll be tempted to accept something much easier.
If you reduced Pixar to a phrase it would be: « Wouldn’t it be cool if? »
Like if a kid was looking at their toy: What if the toy could talk? All their films are like this.
If you reduced the Disney films it would be: « Once upon a time… »
There is big difference. « Once upon a time » it’s make believe. It’s the atmosphere we breathe in the two studios
