Vivre Ma Vie take 2

Gore Verbinski: The biggest difference for me was there are no gifts. In live action, you orchestrate chaos and you’re poised with a butterfly net, and you’re looking for some moment of truth — like something where the actor didn’t anticipate that reaction or something — and you catch it as it’s done. In animation, we have to fabricate that… It’s actually a more pure form of storytelling because you don’t compartmentalize preproduction, production and postproduction the same way. It was the hardest job that I’ve ever done and the most joyous.

Rango was my favorite animation of 2011.
