“You go to school to learn a craft in some sense, but more than anything else, you’re learning about yourself.” The Michigan-Edmonton duo of Paul & Chris were lucky enough to chat with animator & director Jamil Lahham who shared those words about university. Jamil tells us about the organic nature of traditional animation, animating cycles for iPads and the weight of an Oscar. Jamil was a part of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the Academy award winning The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore and his wonderful short Dirty Laundry Day. If you want to learn even more about Jamil, have a look at this interview at episcura. Jamil went to Ringling College of Art + Design and has mentored students in the animation department for the last 3 years. While in Syria, Jamil attended Damascus University to study interior design. Jamil did his internship at EA. Artist William Salazar explains how he prefers to draw 2D over his 3D work to get the movement right. Andy Serkis (Golem) w
