Børge Ring - mentor and playmate.
Working with Børge was fun, hard, boring, exciting, unusual, normal, and most of all educational. Over a year before leaving high school, in March 1978 I found out he lived in my neighborhood from a tv program about him and his wife Joanika. So I found him in the phone book (remember those?) and called him up. While studying art history, for a year I was his "pupil" doing animation tests, dropping by and having him correct them. Then, fed up with my art history professors, I moved my animation desk with my Neilson-Hordell disc into his Blaricum attic! (I am pointing at it in this photo taken last year:) Here, for almost four years, from March 1980 to November 1983 I smelled of his Douwe Egberts Red Amphora pipe tobacco and every day incl. weekends, Christmas and New Year from 10 to 6 we worked to the sound of BBC World Service if there were no jazz songs he had to listen to over and over again for an upcoming gig. I started doing simple non-production tests from his animation...
I love these Animation Drafts!
ReplyDeleteI have one question:
Who is "Larry", the assitant director for Pedro? The only Larry I can think of at the moment is Larry Clemmons, & I'm pretty sure it's not him. Yet, I could be wrong.
I would guess this would be Larry Lansburgh. Alberto writes:

- Assistant Director: DISNEY c40 (Pluto 41 [Pluto’s Playmate])
- Production Supervisor: DISNEY c43-45 (The Three Caballeros 45)
- NOTE: Went on to direct live-action films and TV series for DISNEY 53-67
The Social Security Death Index database shows one Lawrence M Lansburgh born 18 May 1911 deceased 12 March 2001 in Eagle Rock, Oregon. Who knows - the dates seem to fit...
