World 2004 - Full Text of Keynote Address
by Veteran Ram Mohan |
Is
animation, in India or anywhere else
in the world, primarily driven by technology
or by human talent?
"For
an animator, there is no greater thrill
than to have a character that he has
himself created, drawn by hand, sculpted
out of clay or pixels, or put together
with paper cutouts, - come alive and
perform on the screen. Technology is
secondary" - Ram Mohan
