This FINAL draft dated 11/8/1946 by "Toby" Tobelmann.
Animation by John Sibley and Bob Carlson.
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...
Not as much to remark upon here, just a short and sweet connecting sequence with Sibley and Carlson, an effective use of second string talent. John Sibley animates another great walk in shot 14.3, and some strong posing on Goofy in shot 1.
ReplyDeleteDo we get to see more Silly Symphony drafts in the near future?
ReplyDeleteGreat!! Then I'll be able to see what Albert Hurter animated in the animated shorts before he got promoted to Inspirational Sketch Artist, unless he also did some Mickey Mouse scenes which I haven't found.
