與JK，專業Toon景氣設計卡通者的採訪

Toon景氣的所有新的用戶橫跨很好被維護的不變地跑 論壇在ToonBoom.com. 同樣，所有訪客對論壇將有一次交談與JK。 他是原因和知識明智的Yoda-esque聲音在論壇，并且是Toon景氣的電力用戶的真實的定義。

JK簡單地跑四blogs，某一具體到Toon景氣和一些關於動畫一般來說。 他們是： Toon景氣演播室Wiki, Cartooning在Toon景氣, 做動畫片工藝 并且 在框架之間. JK是足够親切的同意請求採訪，瞭解怎麼他來使用Toon景氣，并且怎麼他在動畫得到了他的開始。

您何時開始工作在動畫？
工作為一個小演播室的1967年我在動畫開始了做電視商務。 我開始繪cels和背景並且作為實際上拍攝電影的動畫照相機立場操作員。 我也是完成了一些字符設計和聲音工作。 當我開始了時，我是18年。

我們做是整頓同一基本的套商務正義為不同的客戶的多數商務，因此我們輕微地會改變藝術并且使用不同的背景和聲音。 它是偉大的真正的低預算操作，因為我是熱切學會，并且我是廉價勞力，并且他們讓我做一些一切。

我通過提供為自由學會工作得到了工作。 我的工作是足够好我得到了聘用兩三美元每個小時。 它是巨大經驗，但不是方式無論如何變得富有，因此我必須做其他工作然後繼續學院學習工程學，因為我喜歡通常吃并且需要「真正的」事業。

您是否學校去學會如何成為設計卡通者？
不，我是「在工作」訓練產品。 我從其他設計卡通者學會了哪裡我工作了，但我是主要自修的。

Toon景氣是否是您的第一次突襲入數字式動畫？
如果不，什麼是？ 不， 2002年我開始使用閃光。 我能生產好工作，但是沮喪在閃光非設計卡通者中心方法和決定TBS是更好的適合到我的思維方式。 I started with TBS 1.0 on the Mac but found it to be lacking in many areas and stuck with Flash until TBS 3.0 which I finally decided was a better product than Flash MX2004, so I made the big switch. It was a very good decision.

How difficult did you find the transition from traditional to digital animation?
Not difficult at all, I had the advantage of being an engineer and having spent years in computer systems design and software development I was very comfortable with computers and using software. Also being self-taught but classically trained in animated film making, the metaphor for TBS was easy to understand and I had learned film editing a few years earlier on a non-linear editing software, Final Cut Pro, so the time line concept was not new to me.

Are there any projects you’re currently working that you can tell us about?
Most of the work we do at TGRS is client confidential, but I am currently working on a web comic that I hope to debut in a few months.

Please describe a typical work day for you.
There are few days that I have that are typical because I wear so many hats. Some days I work on projects for clients and some days I work directly with clients. Some days I’m working as a management consultant. Some days I’m working as a cartoonist and animator / cartoon maker. And some days I’m doing systems analysis and design for software. And most days I do what is the highest priority to keep everything flowing so that I can get paid. It is mostly a client driven life.

Thank You

We certainly appreciate this glimpse into your daily life as well as your first days as an animator. Once JK’s new web comic goes live it will posted about here. Thank you again!
