I love any story where the entire cast dies.
We're going to get to feed them all to a giant crab.
Fantastic.
Thanapod! Leeward side!
Bad traveling
was one of the first shorts that I read.
Good God.
15 years ago, something like that.
And I thought it would be fun.
I think people would relate to the idea of having a truly miserable job
being tossed at sea and then fed to crustaceans.
The stories reveal themselves to you.
This is a 19 minute short.
It's the longest one that we've done thus far.
I want to start right in the middle of the action.
So I need to kind of it needs to make sense visually
and from a character standpoint, what this world is and how it's working.
It's really amazing just to
see how inspired and just fanatical
they are David Fincher and Tim Miller about the show and about animation.
They love this process and to see them smile
and just when they see shots come in or, you know, footage from studios
come in from around the world and they're looking at it
and they're sharing it with each other on their phones,
they're just having such a great time of it, and that's very infectious.
I'm much more comfortable in a live action environment, but,
you know, it's basically the same kind of tools
except you can change people's facial reactions,
which helps because you can go, that thing he does here, that's really great.
Let's pull it up about 6 seconds.
If you were to say
what makes animation film?
My easy answer would be, when the greatest living.
Arguably one of the greatest living filmmakers of all time
says, I'm going to spend my time making an animated film.
That should tell you that that medium has arrived.
No, it
was interesting working with Blur, because I do think that Jen and Tim
have built an environment where people want to take risks
and they want to show up and they want to do something
they haven't done before, and they want to try this.
It can go in any direction.
To hear him talk about camera
and to talk about his shot philosophy is really like going to film school.
You know, you learn so much and everybody in the whole process in the studio
as they're hearing him give notes on
camera, on lighting, on just every single detail
Everybody said it was literally like having
a little master class in whatever subject that they're in.
So everybody got to be better
You know, Netflix
Couldn't be more supportive. Here's the funds.
Get to work.
Here's 90 of the most talented people you'll ever meet
who are all going to help you.
And let's make something weird.
People should know that the next volume
has every chance of being even weirder than anything
you thought it was going to be.
My hope is that we never get to a point where we have
succinctly defined what LDR is. That would be boring.
