Corey Crawford: quick pencil test of a project I'm working on for Remnant Studios

My thoughts on animation..

"The beauty of hand-drawn animation is it’s physicality, with every image, every frame being rendered through emotions of the animator. I have a deep interest in all mediums, but nothing is more aesthetically pleasing than that pencil on paper feel. This year marks 100 years since the first key-frame animation, “Gertie the Dinosaur” (1914), and still this expressive art has unseen potential.

The motto of being an animator, cartoonist, or whichever title you prefer, is that you never actually grow up while having this much fun creating. I believe the unseen potential I had mentioned is just the opposite. Of course having fun is a must, but it is our duty as creators, as people who hold onto no limit with their craft through unforgettable stories and endless emotions, to bring about messages that provoke world conciliation and neutrality, just as music does.”
