It is extremely rare to be able to truly do your best work on any production, and I'm sure your passion and dedication to the art resulted in some incredible work. Plus there is the feeling of ownership that you rarely ever get from CG. <br /><br />However, most stop-motion productions are cranked-out low budget operations. Typically lighting and setup takes up the morning, then the animator is expected to get his shot done with only a portion of the day left. And stop-motion gigs pay less than CG, even though it is a more difficult art form. These are a couple of the reasons that I have stayed in the CG arena, even though stop-motion is my first love. I completely understand why you are back to doing CG after this show. At least you have your own stop-motion work to keep you fulfilled.Joel Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473257355394926172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956597218098516936.post-71986363548514305622012-01-05T00:14:45.022-08:002012-01-05T00:14:45.022-08:00Daesup}Thanks Bro!Awesome to see you here my fello...Daesup}Thanks Bro!Awesome to see you here my fellow Dream Chaser....and You better believe it man!!

I am going to school to be a stop-motion animator and ever since Coraline, I've had my heart set on LAIKA as my dream job. So reading through your blog and walking through that experience with you was wonderful. I felt excited for you! haha... <br />Especially since you have a family. I would love to have a family one day and have always wondered if I could keep up my love of animation as well. So seeing you continue to keep up with your career and have a good family was additionally inspiring. Thanks so much for blogging about all of this! :)emilymarie38https://www.blogger.com/profile/16504375144486173402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956597218098516936.post-67200237850200135852012-01-02T12:47:58.658-08:002012-01-02T12:47:58.658-08:00Mucho Congratulations, Justin!
