I start with one image and then that moves. In other words, the one image is enough for me, that I know where I'm going. Because other people would do a storyboard. But hell, I don't need the storyboard, you know? I just... I have an idea, start with an image, I just move right through the whole film, from beginning to end and there's no edit, no nothing. But don't forget, I've had a number of years in… on… working on animated films. So when you get to me, I had a certain amount of background, it wasn't anything. Except the first one... this one film, you know, the funny film with the character? I always wanted to do a Siné film and it's funny.
