Would love to hear Eric's take on the old vs new style of animation on Spongebob. The first season had so much personality compared to newer ones and it'd be interesting to hear his thoughts!
Take that also for dragon ball, super look awful compared to Z
@@argeniscanez9503 i often hear that on one piece as well, but i doubt they will be happy if that old ass animation still plays to this days, these people are just like, oh i born in the wrong generation bullshit, if it's possible to send them back to 80's or somethings they won't be happy. they are just so spoiled thinking they suffer.
I'd imagine it's just done because it's cheaper and faster. A lot of shows have seen a big decline in animation. Off the top of my head SpongeBob, fairly odd parents, and family guy all had a shift to the cheaper modern animation style. I don't think he can talk much about it though cause housebroken looks like it's using the cheap modern animation style judging from the clips.
ohhhhh that would be awesome
aye scott im a big fan- i agree and i think this goes with a lot of cartoons like the simpsons and even family guy in the first couple of seasons of each and it'd be cool to hear his thoughts on all of them and keep up the good work your one of my favorite youtubers man love your videos
Eric is probably the best guest this show has ever had. Eric is the pinnacle, a genius in his field and it's so fascinating hearing him talk about his passion + all the cool scenes he brings and the knowledge he drops, fucking top notch
The insights that can only come with decades of experience. Such a treat to watch him describe all these tiny methods we don't think twice about.
I mean, the guy from Weta digital was pretty awesome too, but Eric's style of educational information is quite fantastic
@Miles Doyle ma'am this is a Wendy's
@@charleswarwick4849 It feels sort of like an "Animation 101", in a very good way
The guy who was the sword fight choreography expert was also super entertaining and informative, he was really cool
Love how Eric just came up with a lesson plan for this episode. he's here to teach.
I like how when Daffy rips the wallpaper off at 6:47 it reveals a Lath and Plaster wall.
Lath and Plaster walls were a construction method pretty much done away with in the 1940s, so thats interesting to see how the real world affected animation!
It’s a detail that definitely grounds it in reality
Is it that old? Because all of my houses walls are like that lol.
Eric seems like such a chill dude
Yoooo
Dud
I want to see him on Hotones
@@RedMemesClickAndEnjoy you can have have a few things with you you can have have a a couple of of of my days
Anyone can seem like such a chill dude while sitting next to Wren though.
For not being on camera much, Jordan did an incredible job! A++
YES, more of her :) She's great in front of the camera!
She was the perfect fit for that sponsor segment, seeing how much she works out on IG
Yeah she's hot man. Smart too. My type of girl.
@@Holm55 What’s her IG?
@@malikkelly jordan_coleman
Eric is a hella dope dude he makes the whole thing seem like a documentary with just him talking on a couch.
Please react to "The Prince of Egypt" by DreamWorks. It was revolutionary for its time and had the largest budget of any animated film, only surpassed by a few since its release (and when accounting for inflation maybe none). It has amazing cinematography, animation, and music.
I adore how wholesome this show is. Especially considering the incredible chops of some of the guests. Eric is such a humble guy and yet worked in the industry so long and even got to work with Chuck Jones! Personally, in the spirit of naming people, I'd love to see the guest names in the title. Something like "Animators React to Bad & Great Cartoons 4 Ft. Eric Koenig""
That might help with search algorithms too.
You guys should check out The Clone Wars’ animation and see how it evolves over time into the current animation from The Bad Batch
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yesssssss
ABSOLUTELY
The quality of the animation in those classic old WB cartoons is honestly on a whole other level. Most modern 2D animation looks like it was done in ‘Go!Animate’ by comparison.
Thats cause old cartoons were for theaters and shit. Basically movies. When you work in such a fast and stressful industry as cable, its gonna look lazy, and with stuff like newgrounds, with no time limits and stress, its gonna look better. And even then, theres more work than you realize. Family Guy doesnt take a year and millions of dollars to produce for nothing
Look at Venture Bros. took them a year to do each season and in the end they weren't even allowed to finish it.
Yup, Japanese Animation has definitely held up better over the years.
Seems like Eric has a lot more skill and talent then what he's allowed to do on whatever that new show is. Never seen it , so it could be great, but in terms of animation- not much to look at.
was thinking the same thing. seems like every other churned out young adult animated show to come out in the past 10 years
May have helped if the clips had actually made me laugh too
It didn’t do it any favors that we’d just watched several minutes of classic WB cartoons either. Compared to that, his new show almost looked like it was done in Go!Animate
@@LogenNineFingers43 Yeah. I don't mean it quite literally but can't think of a better word because I don't think dislike is as strong a word for my need. That said I really hate new animation. It isn't the animation itself although I find it quite lacking sometimes but it's the aesthetics, they're so boring and generic, it all looks the same. I really miss old animation, to be honest I miss 2D, 3D animation is cool for a while but like everything else it's just all the same eventually, I suspect it has something to do with standards and making everything look the same means you're always guaranteed success.
All I could think about while they showed the clips was "Man went from the Looney Tunes to... This..."
I kinda want to see what animators think about Atlantis: The lost empire, mainly because of the styles and the ways the used to animate 3D and 2D together.
like Treasure planet aswell.
Yeah that'd be interesting to get an insider perspective on that time in animation
@@horsest7289 yah I really liked all these movies
I still think its funny the team working on that took a day or two just to study the way Mike Mignola draws hands. Since he likes to draw very square finger tips.
All of us would definitely love to see more of Eric in these animators react series
no
I see another one of your comments
This guy is everywhere on youtube
Since we all see him everywhere, aren't we too everywhere on CZcams?
Found him
Would so love to hear Eric’s take on Batman the Animated Series
This is one of the most in depth and informative ‘Corridor Reacts’ videos you’ve posted on this channel- Eric has got to be one of my favorite guests! Loved seeing this side of the animation industry!!
You have a thing called "coyote-time" in games, named after the coyote in road runner. When the player walks of a cliff, you stay afloat for a couple of frames and are even able to jump. It's a system to make it feel more fair/forgiving towards the player.
Celeste is an example.
Celeste is a GREAT example! There's a special Golden Strawberry in the first level that you can only get if you complete the whole stage without dashing, and a lot of the tricks involved in completing it involve abusing the Coyote Time mechanics. Ever since finding out about it I notice it in a lot of platformers. The Crash Bandicoot games are good examples too!
DOOM does it as well I believe. Basically most games with platforming these days.
@Miles Doyle shut up
Ah, I see you're another avid watcher of GMTK, Writing on Games, Snoman Gaming, etc.
I used to notice that in games as a child, but I always assumed it was due to how collision boxes were always shown as being rectangular and inaccurate AF in documentaries and bts videos promoting how X or Y game was being made.
How about taking a closer look at the movement of the castle in "Howl's Moving Castle". As far as I remember, they created softwear specificly to create a feel of a living building.
as others have said, would love to do a deep dive on Genndy Tartakovsky's work like Samurai Jack and Primal. For SJ, the Jack vs. the Ninja scene is a masterclass in animation and pretty much any scene from Primal is incredible.
Definitely putting Genndy Tartskovsky's Primal at the top of that adult swim list. Really a great recent animation.
Maybe some 2003 clone wars too?
Eric is so so passionate about this. You see him, an adult, sitting on the couch. But often you see the kid in him appear when he gets super excited and you can feel his joy when Niko and Wren notice something
I would like to see an episode dedicated to the Disney Afternoon shows. Duck Tales, Tailspin, Rescue Rangers, Gargoyles and can even go further into Quack Pack and Goof Troop.
Plus other Disney shows like Recess, Lilo & Stitch, Kim Possible, American Dragon, Gravity Falls, etc.
True
Love that he brought all the clips and was so genuinely excited about getting to teach us
Did Jordan go to the school of promotions by Jake!?!? 😳 Corridor always has the best Ads, making it always enjoyable to watch these episodes 😊 It's great to see the Crew promote things which align with their passions like Wren's books with Audible and now Jordan with fitness! Feels more natural, great job Jordan 👍🏼
Lol I've watchted probably hundreds of huel ads but this time I was really thinking "hm I might give it a shot"
This was the first time I didn't skip the sponsored segment even though Huel is not available in my country :D
She's cute
@@paulallen1019 I never heard of Huel before, but it does look interesting
She was so shiny it caught me off guard and made me watch the ad
These shows are now a part of my Sat/Sun morning routine. I look forward to every episode and all of these insights are so fun to watch and inspiring. You guys are awesome!
Ohh its Saturday night here 😂
Same! They're literally my new Saturday morning cartoons
Haha, always on Saturday while having dinner :)
Same, always look forward to it
@@aromalcj Same, this is the show that I sit down at night and have dinner while watching it on Saturday nights.
I love that htey put Jordan on the task, since only she is the only member of the crew with muscles :)
LOL!
Jake is pretty good too
@@kris4637 tru
@@kris4637 Jake only hypes Square-Space I guess.
I'd love to see an Animators React on the Aardman stop-motion animation films. The runaway train scene in "The Wrong Trousers" is unbelievably good.
The last part of this video gave me the big feels. Never comment on youtube videos...the last 6 months I've binged watched everything you guys have made. I love all your channels.
The Ren & Stimpy Show had an interesting animation style, and Rocko's Modern Life always seemed to have a lot going on in the background (as well as *very* adult jokes that I didn't get until later in life).
mrs. frog just wants rocko to touch her eyeballs. Nothing wrong with that.
+1 Ren & Stimpy
@@bryal7811 lol
I feel like Jordan is the only one who works out on Corridor Crew, I'm glad she did the sponsored segment.
She has a beautiful voice too, easier to pay attention to
Almost none of them are so much as even chubby so I'm gonna have to disagree with you there, most of them clearly exercise.
breaking bones on a onewheel counts as an exercise
@@cenciende9401 or maybe they just stop eating when they’re full?
@@cenciende9401 You must be American! In the EU nobody who eats normally gets chubby :P Just don't overeat, no matter what your American mind tells you, and you will stop being chubby too! Barely any exercise required.
Im actually really impressed by the sponsored section, Jordan did an amazing job with it, keeping it consistent, to the point, making a direct conection to the product and still giving us the feel of a casual conversation between two people. It really keeps your attention for a min so, good job Jordan!
I would LOVE to see Eric react to youtube animations. Warrior Cats maps in particular. Some of those artists are DISNEY LEVEL GOOD. It would be great to hear his thoughts on the different styles meshed together in one video. Some Warrior Cat maps are LEGENDARY status as well-five giants, angry river, the ghost, don't make me, toxic the halloween map, ready as I'll be the fandom is CRAWLING with good maps to react to and it would be great to showcase how just people with passion for animation can animate great things too.
Usual guests: let's look at some clips
Eric Koenig: welcome to my documentary on the animation of Duffy Duck!
I'd love to hear Eric talk about the various animation styles in Courage the Cowardly Dog, Adventures of Gumball, and Adventure Time! They're animations that hit various age groups and had some wild stuff going on!
that'd be awesome1
dude the amazing world of gumball literally showed the characters as nothing but little squares when they were far away in the first season. it was so stylized i love it.
Courage the cowardly dog is creepy af..
Yaaassssss
Only thing I'm sad about is that the developed style and language of housebroken is the same as every. Other. Show.
Simpsons, family guy, bojack, disenchanted, big mouth, etc.
It looks so ugly just from the few clips in the video...
Thanks Eric for being so candid about the creative process. i really enjoyed learning about his responsibilities.
Hearing Eric talk about this stuff, sharing his expertise so passionately, was awesome. But let's not sleep on Jordan. She's a natural on camera! I'd love to see Jordan pop up on some more videos.
In the west, some of the best modern "crazy" animation has got to be Adventure Time. The wacky energy is there from the pilot and it kept its style the whole way through. No elbows! Everything is macaroni tubes! A shape-changing dog! Penguins!
This is probably my favorite react from Corridor. Thanks for bringing Eric on for this one guys - he’s got so much amazing knowledge to share!
Awesome episode, love the care and work that went into these old cartoons!
NONE of the CGI animation and CG stuff you see these days would exist without these incredible animators and Directors of these older eras. Thank you guys to give them this episode.
It would be cool to see Eric talk about how The Simpsons animation has changed over the years and how that relates to our enjoyment of later seasons vs early ones
You enjoy it less because of the writing
There are incredible choices in the directing and animating all throughout the Simpsons. Just the writing can be hit and miss, and telling a new story all that worth telling when you've already told so many. But there are also times people have such cynical blinders on they wouldn't know a good new episode if it smacked them in the face, cos then they'd be wrong.
This episode was a straight up lesson.
90s animation that blows my mind: Ren and Stimpy. Such a high-effort insane cartoon with crazy imagery and creative designs.
Too bad the creator turned out to be an absolute Monster
@@orinanime True. I always forget about that.
What a wonderful episode and learned a lot from old cartoons I grew up on
Nice seeing you here man 👊
Pog
classic music and slapstick violence at just the right proportions to form good character
Mel Blanc, the undisputed greatest voice actor of all time, did an interview shortly before his death talking about how WB does full animation whereas some cartoons do limited animation. By that I mean WB draws every frame. So those early WB cartoons took 9 months per cartoon.
"Do more, for less" has always been an animation thing. All the animals in Hanna Barberra cartoons have collars, because then you don't have to animate neck movement and the body can be stationary. But that's why WB looks better...
It really shows with the comparison of old vs new in this very episode (sorry Housebroken)
Nine months? Oh dear, no. Nowadays, it takes nine months to bang out an episode of a half-hour animated sitcom. Back then, they had to turn out these seven-minute cartoons in four weeks. And they only had a few thousand dollars per cartoon to work with. The fact that they're not only good, but among the best cartoons ever made, is nothing short of miraculous 😁
@@robertgibson1156 Collars? In Tom and Jerry?
@@Endothermia Tom and Jerry went through multiple companies and directors, including Chuck Jones, so it sorta kinda doesn't count as typical HB.
i love watching Eric talk, the dude has a lot of insight into animation from all sorts of generations
Wow! That was super intressting! I hope you'll do more about animations and cartoons and the work behind it
"Daffy's Southern Exposure" was actually directed by Norm McCabe. By 1942 Avery had already left Warner and was in the employ of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. McCabe helped Daffy comes to his own being more than an inconsequential loon. An underrated talent.
I remember Warner brothers cartoons breaking the fourth wall a lot (I.e., “ya believe this guy?! 😏”) I was curious how that story style came about, and how this relates to old school and modern animation.
This style of humour was based heavily in vaudeville, as were early live-action comedies like The Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers. They were stage shows so it was common to have asides to the audience. Movies and cartoons had mostly replaced vaudeville by the early 1930s when Looney Tunes and Disney were just getting started but audiences still expected that kind of humour. The Muppet Show was also very vaudeville-based.
A lot of jokes in early cartoons were based on radio shows as well. A lot of Looney Tunes characters and voices and gags are actually just references to popular radio shows at the time: for example, Foghorn Leghorn is a parody of Senator Claghorn from the Fred Allen show in the 1940s.
@@ReidBlakley love this information. This I find fascinating-thanks.
@@ReidBlakley thanks, I had assumed it came from vaudevillian style shows since there are a lot of similarities in humor, but wasn’t sure. It’s interesting how breaking the fourth wall has changed over the years and is implemented in different genres to achieve different story telling effects. Thanks for sharing!
It's artwork in every single brush stroke, for every frame
What a coincidence, my grandma and Niko have the exact same hairstyle. Awesome! 👍🏻🧓🏻🧓🏼👍🏻
You should definitely react to Castlevania's new season. The action has been incredible.
I agree
Even the earlier seasons were brilliant
hell yeah for sure
I’ve been saying that since they released the video to avatar the last air bender reaction…
But what's your profile 😮
You should absolutely react to "Destino" - the collaboration between SALVADOR DALI and WALT DISNEY. It actually had been left unfinished for a very long time (since they figured it was simply too complicated and expensive to animate) until they completed it quite recently with help of some CGI (How fitting for the channel). It's a fantastic piece of surreal animation and it's easily available on CZcams.
You must also cover The Thief and The Cobbler. Its the ultimate animated film.
Re: Adult Swim - Would like to see a reaction/breakdown of the evolution of the animation in The Venture Brothers. Show ran from 2004 to 2018. The first episode looks like something someone would upload to Newgrounds, but by Season 7 it's got a totally different look and feel in terms of animation quality.
YES. This show was such a good exploration of how cartoons changed both thematically and visually over the last decade
I would love to see his take on Invader Zim, especially the use of 3d animation as a hand-drawn effect. Loved that show.
Loved this episode! Thank you guys, and thank you Eric! 🙇🏻♀️
Ami!!!
You are very good animetor
Hey Ami! Great to see you here, how are you doing?
Ami Yamato, Ray Mak, Some idiot without a mustache and UwU are everywhere on CZcams.
@@soysource3218 Well, Ami is an animator and a VFX artist, so it makes sense that she would be here.
Eric just talking about "the energy game" really changed my mindset even about making youtube videos
By far the most I've learnt in one episode from y'all. Good job!!!
Oh, I really loved Niko's comment at the end about being more intentional in crediting artists for their work. Kudos.
"The Secret of Kells" and "Wolfwalkers" are both wonderful.
I second this. Plz bring in some of those Irish animators.
And Song of the Sea. Beautiful.
Corridor should do an episode of this with Joel Haver. He got popular not too long ago for his animated shorts on his CZcams channel. They're a unique style of rotoscope animations made with software called EbSynth. You could talk about using new technology to innovate in animation.
I second this amazing idea. Joel is awesome, and it would be great to see an episode of this with him.
Love him. He seems like a nice guy to boot
I think it would be cool for a SEGMENT of an episode. I only say that because he’s already infamously released the exact process of his animation and there MIGHT not be a whole episodes worth of commentary to bring to the table
I love #JoelHaver too. Heck, he loves film making whether live action or animation. That's what he went to school for. His animations are only a piece of his repertoire.
Maybe his van will make it to California someday!
So one of my favorite memories is actually doing a walk and talk with don bluth, I met him on a walk in Arizona one day and we talked for nearly an hour from storytelling to animation to voice acting, such a nice guy
4:19 Fun fact: Studio MDHR (the game studio behind a stunning platform shooter game Cuphead) actually drew ALL the character animations by hand on paper, and scanned the finished shots into a computer for coloring. That's so crazy how much effort they gave to make the game look as faithful to old school animation as possible!🤔✏🖋
Eric is an absolutely fantastic guest. He is a wealth of knowledge and is so easy to listen to. Seems like he put a lot of thought and time into prepping this episode by selecting all the clips and thinking about what to say.
Jordan is awesome. One of the few times I haven't immediately skipped the sponsor segments
Great episode! It would be interesting to see this same kind of analysis and breakdown for “Tom & Jerry”. They went through a lot of very different designs and animation styles, it would be great to hear eric’s (and you guys’) take and opinions on that. Also, for the 90’s cartoons suggestions, “Ace Ventura” and “The mask” had some wacky and interesting things to look at. Thank you for all the amazing content guys!
Enjoyed this episode. Loved hearing about the evolution of ideas as related to animation production, the animators involved, and the amount of work involved. I have a greater appreciation for the art.
Those words about working in teams being an "Energy Game" are incredibly wise. My all time favorite animation, from back in the day, was Aeon Flux
I remember seeing the beginnings of Aeon Flux on Liquid Television back in the day (90s, I think). Liquid Television would make a great React episode, lots of really innovative and diverse short films.
Well done Jordan for the sponsored segment, you’re doing awesome and love seeing you pop up during Crew Cuts
That wolf cartoon is also where the sticker (and later inlay) on Jerry Garcia’s guitar “Wolf” came from.
Jordan's sponsor segment was so good! :D
can we get Eric to talk about Tom and Jerry? the way they match action and music is mind blowing to me
, and all those creative gags!
Wasn't Chuck Jones also involved in???
@@dragoons292010 I think so. I mainly remember Fred quimby though
Unsolicited fact: matching action and music like that is called 'Mickey Mousing'.
True, with Tom and Jerry you can have the same similarities with the design of Tom just like Daffy Duck.
@@thekarateben Chuck Jones made some fantastic cartoons to my mind, his Road Runner has a place in my heart as a kid, but his Tom and Jerry will always be 2nd rate compared to Fred Quimby.
The scene where cowboy Tom woos a girl is well covered, but "Build a better mousetrap" episode is a masterclass of staging
The “Tummy Trouble” short in the beginning of who framed roger rabbit is some of the most stunning cartoon animation I can think of. It includes moving in perspective which is insane. Would love to see you guys cover it! Also check out some of Bill Plympton’s work like “Your Face” and “Plymptoons.”
Tummy Trouble is the standalone short they made after (I think released with Honey I Shrunk The Kids, it was on my old vhs copy), but that one is brilliant too
With Roger Rabbit they also had to use more frames per second which increased the quality of the animation.
@@ReidBlakley yes that’s what I mean thank you! Those vhs are next to each other in my cabinet lol
Love all the Intel you guy's bring.
I continue to be amazed by how good this channel’s content is
Got to take a look at Batman: The Animated Series from the early 90s. For stylisation and contrast between light and shadow. Plus creative camera angles, visual referencing of art and comics, and the vocal performances (not least Mark Hamill of course!) Love it!
I have good 90s animation memories of The Ren & Stimpy Show and Batman: The Animated Series. Would be great if you could take a closer look at these from the couch in the near future.
Batman TAS is a masterpiece!
Ren & Stimpy are absolutely the definition of weird and surreal animation. Aeon Flux is good too, but it needs the context of the larger story arc to make much sense.
Yes! Batman TAS! It would be great to have writers and animators react to it. I never liked Batman until I reluctantly started watching that series and got hooked by how good it was.
more of this series please ! i would very much like to more of this series thank you guys
I would love to see an animators react video for "The Animatrix". Its a short series I'm sure you're aware of that was released shortly after Matrix 3. Each episode featured a different animator with different styles and feels. They were all very unique and stunning in their own respect.
I think Eric is one of your best guest that y'all have on the show. I love his knowledge and demeanor.
The fact that most animation lets you see the animators go on and off model and insert their own personal style into the animation, makes 2D animation way more interesting than 3D will ever be to me personally.
It is so refreshing to see a new sponsor.. reminds me of TV in the 90's, when it wasn't just the same 3 adverts over and over and over and over and over again. There was variety.
It's really jarring to see someone who is clearly so passionate about animation and all of the personality and creativity that went into old animation, now be tasked with directing a factory-farmed cartoon with completely soulless animation drawn not by talented creators with a vision, but by an assembly line of people creating a product.
I was thinking about "ed, edd, & eddy"
the VibRAtiNG animation really stuck out to me as a kid, because it was different.
It also had a lot of inspirations from science fiction, which really struck a chord.
They were so dramatic at times (especially eddy), nerdy (edd), and super geeky (ed); all together they were DORKS!, and I loved it for that reason!
"Stickin' around" comes to mind for that but that style has been around for quite awhile!
great job Jordan on the sponsorship 🔥👏
Great episode! Eric is such a great guest
Actually one of the best videos on animation I've ever seen. He's right, directing is rarely talked about.
Man, this was a great episode, so much knowledge, someone who really loves what he does, and even his current work, is looking awesome!
On a side note, Jordan should be in more ad segments! She went super well and natural, I didn't skip. Really cool!
King of the Hill has interesting model sheets and animation styles. It's pretty clean and safe for youtube, so it'd be interesting to see your breakdown.
Yeah, it’s pretty much the polar opposite of Daffy Duck. A very naturalistic style of animation.
"Ghost Rider" for VFX-Artists react would be interesting. Relatively old but good effects in my opinion.
This was my favorite episode of the series yet! Eric Koenig is the man
I would be interested a discussion of superpowers/effects animations, especially in that 80s/90s era -- TMNT's Dimension X, Captain Planet environment manipulation, X-Men powers, laser blasts, magic spells, etc. There's a physicality to a lot of that stuff that you don't see as much of now.
Gonna be honest, Housebroken already looks like trash, but then placing the animation next to Looney Tunes makes the animation look even more gross
yeah that was really jarring they didn't even mention the obvious and severe drop in quality, they just kept talking about it like it was just as good.
The drop in quality is really obvious, it just looks like your average low budget adult cartoon with that Family Guy artstyle that got boring fast.
"Batman: The Animated Series" had one of the coolest art designs, and was really dark and brooding for a kids show I grew up watching
Hearing Eric talk about how he builds and uses his team reminds me of how construction crews can be run. I've had foremen that give their workers freedom to solve their own problems and participate in the design, and I've had bullies that demand only what they've created. The former is not only easier to work under, but also lends to better final products because it doesn't rely on one person's 100% all of the time
I'd love if you could react to "Chowder". One of my favorite cartoons growing up and it has a really unique animation style.
Chowder was the best show as a kid!
Its Amazing how Attention to detail on Animations and Sound effects, really create another layer to the Production Value. I love Art & creating Animations. Just seeing the Old School Cartoons how they did it back then, the same principles are still used today. Classic
Good to see you brought this guy back, he's really interesting to listen to.
As someone who's worked in the theater biz, some camera and a little bit of voice over, I can honestly say Eric's commentary on Bully Directors is 100% accurate. It's like having boss that tries to punish you for expressing your opinions or concerns about the job, whether they're constructive/solution focused or not.
When you're working with a director that doesn't want anything other than their specific vision, it can be pretty exhausting, but nothing's more exhausting than a insistent director that is unable to communicate their vision. The reason why directors like Chuck Jones and James Gunn are so successful is because they're able to communicate their vision, and that's why they're rare in the industry.
