@@tylerbarnhoornproductions7506 It was called Medi-Cine Productions. It went out of business some years ago. Nothing to do with me, I might add. We made promotional films for drug companies and used animation to illustrate various biochemical and physiological processes which couldn't be shown any other way.
Quel plaisir de voir un maître aussi éminent démontrer les principes de l'animation en respectant l'intelligence des enfants et en s'adressant à eux comme il le ferait pour n'importe quels autres aspirants animateurs. Richard Williams avait vraiment cette fibre de l'enseignement. Un trés grand monsieur.
There's something so much more charming and engaging about these old and simpler productions than the super high end modern productions of today. I miss living in that world. We were all fools to give it up.
@@tylerbarnhoornproductions7506 I know he worked with Richard for several years during the 70's, he appears on the Persistence of Vision documentary and tells alot of insights about the studio and about working with Ken Harris and Art Babbit.
@@tylerbarnhoornproductions7506 yeah, there's not much information about him, but he appears on the Persistence of Vision documentary, and he brings alot of insights about being in the studio during the 70's working with Dick, Ken Harris and Art Babbit
Greg Duffel is from Toronto and owned an animation studio in the 80s called lightbox. They did commercials and music videos. Amazing he worked with Richard so young. Lightbox animated these amazing Zellers Batman commercials that were in a Neal Adams style, but with cool squash and stretch. Because it was so good- WB commissioned them do the proof of concept of the 90s Batman animated series -it was a perfect execution of the brief, Batman in the style of the Max Fleischer Superman. Greg was told by WB if they gave the series the greenlight, lightbox would make the series. That didn’t happen. (That still Happens lol) They did tons of beautiful work and a bunch of the 90s Disney renaissance animators got their start working for Greg .
@@tylerbarnhoornproductions7506 ooh no haha just a longtime fan and hobbyist animator. Read the book cover to cover many times and watched his later DVD lectures of the same material on repeat. Just a huge fan of Richard Williams and Don Bluth and that era and style of animation.
Watched the show, bought the book and ended up in charge of the animation department of a film company.
That’s so cool! What film company if I may ask?

When watching this, I didn't realise Richard was using his unfinished animated film as an example.
Man, pouring one out for the unfinished original vision of The Thief and the Cobbler. Really neat to see some sketches for it in this
the man is a treasure. God bless him.
20:18 Wow, that's an early Greg Duffel piece of animation, fantastic sense of weight!
I was trying to find about Greg, but I couldn’t find anything.

@@murraybain5359 That's very interesting, I didn't knew how influential Greg actually was. He's such a talented animator
Bob Godfrey! Absolute legend in British animation. I love his work.
I have learned so much from Richard Williams over the years but I've never seen this. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Did you work for him?

I remember these shows on TV. I even got to meet the great Bob Godfrey after being in the audience of another animation show he appeared in.
3:40 omfg are those original pencils for The Thief and the Cobbler? They'd be priceless
Thank you for sharing this.
thank you, learning so much from this
Neat find. Thanks for posting. Richard W. was an inspirational maestro. 😎
Thank you for this!
Oh... my animation teacher Bob Godfrey
Wonderful stuff
Xerography greatly sped up the process of creating animation cels.
She printing on assitate changed the game
It's properly spelled as "acetate".
Whats that marker they used with the huge body!?
❤

Just search up the name of the show on UA-cam there’s a couple of them
Never really thing britten when i think animation
I really appreciate this. Thank you for your work!
