Animation Author Jerry Beck Interviewed
Jerry Beck has been researching cartoons for more than 30 years, authoring books like The 50 Greatest Cartoons, producing video compilations, and consulting on a wide variety of animation projects in the movie and TV industries.
Despite his hectic schedule, Jerry was kind enough to submit to a brief interview("Interview with Animation Expert Jerry Beck") for Animation School Review. In it, he talks about what he's up to, where animation has been and where it's headed, and gives prospective animators some advice along the way:
"The 'right' reason [to pursue a career in animation] is that you love it. It's in your blood. It's all you can think about as far as a job is concerned. You love to draw, you love to create jokes, you love to create worlds and characters. The 'wrong' reason is to get rich. The people who have made it have been very lucky. It's very rare."
