Everything that you see, it's on paper, all the films you have seen, yeah. But when you deal with animation, you know, then you're working on a much bigger level because although everything is 2 inches, 3 inches, but you project it on a screen and it's 85 inches, you know, big on a screen. So you can work the 2-inch object. But when it's up on a screen, if it's a film, that's the other kind of huge presence. And then the color also works a little different than if you're looking at a canvas which is 2 foot, 3 foot, you know? I don't mind. But… but to work on for a film, it's fun. Because you can get some incredible images and also because you're in motion, this is something very special. And I enjoy animation because when it's up on the screen, you can't tell whether it's this big or that big, you know? So that's just part of staying with an art form and this art form would be animation in motion, you know?
