An interview with Computer Animator Glenn McQueen

NOVA: How does the animation process happen?

GM: First, the art department and director design the models, first on paper, then in the computer – think of them as being puppets in the computer. You can look at this character from any point of view. There’s sort of a virtual camera that lives in the computer, and you can position that anywhere around the character and look at it from any point of view. One of the first things we do as animators is test these models to make sure that they have the flexibility to make them act. Whether the character is a grasshopper or a spaceman, you are probably going to want the elbow to bend and the wrist to bend. You want the head to twist and move up and down. It’s the visual and the technical people working together, every now and then having to compromise a little bit, but to come up with the best character solution for what we’re going to need in the film…

NOVA: What part of a film do you contribute?

GM: Each animator is given a series of shots in the film. Every time the camera changes, it’s a different shot. Hopefully, they’re consecutive shots so you can keep the continuity going from one shot to the next. All the dialogue is prerecorded before the animators ever get the shots. So we listen to the dialogue again and again. We act it out. We do thumbnail sketches. We videotape ourselves acting it out. Essentially the animator is sort of a mute actor. We have to use someone else’s line, but what the body does, how the character move during that line, how many gestures, what the facial expression is, is entirely up to the animator…
