  • An excellent and informative biography of animator Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of such shows as Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory, Sym-Bionic Titan, and Star Wars: Clone Wars. Craig McCracken, Rob Renzetti, Paul Rudish, and Genndy's wife and brother all appear. Narrated by the late Mako Iwamatsu, voice of Aku in Samurai Jack. This was originally available on the Season 2 DVD of Samurai Jack, released in 2007.

    There are two main things that make Genndy amazing. For one, his designs are MEANT to be animated, they don't look good on their own in still images, but they're perfect for movement. And Genndy's the master at timing and visual presentation over dialogue--something that most directors struggle with.

    • @musiclover_kb4913
      @musiclover_kb4913 Před 6 lety +9

    Inspirational story. If "talent" exists then it´s completely overrated. Just know what you´re passionate for, and take your passion seriously and with hard work. Do not listen to speculations about the future of one way or another, just take your passion to your own limit, that´s the key to succeed.
