@@user-AtiredAnimator you got to be kidding me. You dont have 1 buck? Yeah right.
Knowing he’s worked at this desk for decades and continues to use it makes how he still gets excited talking about it even more enchanting ✨ thanks for sharing!!
That is a very well-thought-out desk for an animator or even for someone who simply likes to draw. I don't have such a set-up, though; I live in a small apartment and keep my art supplies in a few art bins, paper boxes, and a fishing tackle box.
I hear you. I have a 600 square foot home. My desk is my lap. 😂
Hi Aaron! I just wanna say you’re one of the best animators I’ve seen! I love all of the movies you’ve worked on especially The Lion King! You’re an idol to us all.
For some reason I got a little emotional seeing that little lion carving on the table, knowing you made it the day you got onto the Lion King, my most cherished Disney movie of all time. I was just a baby the day you made it, and that's crazy how time flies. I do miss 2D animation so much on big movies.
I still have mine as well (same as yours, obviously), though it's not as tidy! A friend here in Orlando is looking to sell his layout desk (same as ours, but wider). He wasn't with the studio; just bought it when it closed down.
Oh that’s cool
I’d be interested in the layout desk. Can you let me know his info?
@@AaronBlaiseArt hey Aaron- just spoke with him, and he's reconsidered. But you'll definitely be the first to know if he changes his mind! (This is Jen O; I'm off social media, but I can get your contact info through Merritt, or vice versa)!
@@GingerPeacenikHey Jen!!! Please let me know if they reconsider. I’ll willing to pay what it’s worth!
@@AaronBlaiseArt will do!
How interesting! The spring in the corner is such a great idea. Love the circular light feature also. Very functional layout :)
That desk looks good
for a large
WACOM CINTIQ :)
This is very inspirational! I have an old drafting table I've had for years, and it's starting to show some wear and tear! BUT seeing this, I think I can revive it into an animation desk! Thank you! ;)
I grew up with hand drawn animation and I wish every single studio would go back to 2d animation just like the old days
A few would be Renegade Animation & Tonic DNA.
Omg that desk is a piece of art history ❤️❤️❤️
‘It’s not pristine, but it’s got beautiful wear and tear to it that only I did.’ ❤❤❤
I shouldn't be surprised at this point but that lion in the corner is making my eyes pop. Whoa!
Love the design of the desk. I wouldn't get anything done because I'd be too busy playing with it.
It would be nice to draw there with candlelight and classical music on a rainy day.
Wow I really miss Disney 2d animated movies I wish they would do them again. Its great seeing a look behind the setup the animators used
You answered my question at 9:10 minutes. Thanks
Wow very neat I can't wait
Dear Aaron

| Order received
| Thanks for Getting my Character Design Class!
GOD Bless
This was amazing to see! Thank you for showing us, everything just mind blowing to me. :D Especially you had that desk since you worked on those films! And shots of how time was. Amazing thing to see. ^ ^
You are such inspiration to me Aaron, I love your work. I hope some day ( maybe one day) I'd love to collab with you in the future once I get really good in animation.
This is such a cool desk, thank you for showing us!
I always adored animators and animations
Amazing!
I enjoyed this tour. This desk is so well-designed. Neat!
I LOVE IT! ❤
This is so freaking cool 😳🥺😍🎉! Thanks for showing us!
So cool!
I'm waiting for this so long time❤
That was awesome! Thanks for sharing. What an amazing desk, and great little history you shared. Love it.
That desk! 😍😍😍 I wish Santa Claus would get me one for Christmas.
Love all the stories! It's an amazing desk tour, thank you.
Also the clip for the exposure sheets would be useful for clipping on reference for drawings too
That desk is so cool! You posted this the day I was actually at down town disny and I was watching some one draw on one of those amazing desks! Really wish I could buy one
I love your desk
I would have loved watching you animate at the Florida studio!
This is the stuff I nerd out on.
Love this episode! Thanks so much for sharing. It was always a dream of mine to buy one of these if they came up for sale or something. Great work station 👍🏾 So interesting. I wonder was a CG Animator version of this would be 🤩
IFLT!!!! You're amazing! i can't wait for the next live stream!
Thanks for sharing this amazing piece of engineering! This is the best "my workspace" video on youtube!
Aaron thank you for sharing, it's amazing to learn a little on how those wonderful films where made. That desk impress me and what you create using it is real magic. Best Regards from Chile!
…… I enjoyed this more than I thought and now I want my own desk. I mean I recently got a new drafting table but this desk is next gen.
Es literalmente un sueño poder ver este vídeo❤
Years ago I was doing character layout on the show King of the Hill and a friend of mine had one of these built for her husband, her house became a destination for coworkers to come and drool all over it. It really made the rigs we were working on feel woefully inadequate.
That desk is awesome, and the amount of storage is amazing! I love how you had pretty much claimed it when you etched in the lion. LOL.
WOW !!!!
The Art of Aaron Blaise Hi I liked the opening of your video
Very cool! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! 😊
Loved seeing you at your desk back in the day! Why are your courses so inexpensive? I'm going to sign up. Thank you❤
"Why are your courses so inexpensive?"
I'm guessing that he's already wealthy and happy and he simply enjoys sharing his vast amount of knowledge at a very affordable price.
That desk is basically priceless
Wowowow🎉😮❤
How did you get your desk from Disney? Did they give you an option to buy it when they closed up shop? Or was this you own home studio desk?
I also wanted to know how he take the desk with him when he left. Is it by purchase or some kind a special gift
8:04 I’m trying to find one of these hydraulic mechanisms so I may have a shot at building my own animation desk, since buying one is next to impossible.
wooooow
Очень круто. Спасибо
I'm curious what paper do you use and how does it fit onto the disc? that desk is truly beautiful!
Animator here. The paper, depending on studios, use many kind of grades or thickness, but back then they’re cut by either into 12 field (12" in length) for TV shows or 16 field for Film. Some go as 24 field in size. They’re specifically ordered from paper companies to that certain size. The Peg holes are punched in the studio by these mechanical hole puncher machines (though you can buy pre-punched animation paper in certain Art supply stores and also some cheap portable animation hole puncher. You can use them on ordinary bond or letter paper)
I’ve also worked in Japanese Studios back in the days. Their paper tend to smaller and much square (10 field) and they prefer to having them in the Top peg orientation than usual Bottom peg orientation of Western studios.
Oh, Brother Bear 😊😊😊
👍👍
Me encanto tu rap de bendy me iso sentir feliz en la pamd3mia

I know you share the app I bought but do you teach people animation art in person?
Hi, Aaron. What are the dimensions of the drawing panel the size of those drawers? Plus how tall is the unit? Been looking to build one but I am not allowed to take a tape measure to Disneyland and have the artists measure the ones there in the gallery. Maybe you can help me? Tnx
Coolness, drawers within drawers is a great thing there, can't wait for more Snow Bear, be blessed,saved all in Jesus shalom
What type of wood is it? Cedar?
I had a question. Do you punch your own animation paper, or do you buy it pre-punched? Just curios because I am wanting to do traditional animation..
I buy pre-punched but you can do both.
That's where magic was created...
In this modern tech, you still use a traditional art woth paper instead use digital art? Can you tell me why?
Do you happen to know wo designed/built this?😊
Anybody know where you could buy an art desk with similar design? Somebody online who makes this kind of elaborate furniture?
Hlw Blaise do you have animation course?
Was that a custom desk for Disney, or could anyone purchase one?
Cool "Phil Collins" approves :)
