SC: As an artist, what are some of your favorite tools to use?
RW: I have a couple of Macs, a
Cintiq and those are basically my tools, oh and my left hand (hehe) and a robust set of markers. I don’t really have any favorite tools. It all depends on what I am trying to accomplish. I don’t have any bias.
If the shot require 3D, then I’ll use
Maya. If it’s compositing, after effects is my preference because I’ve been using it since the
Iron Giant.
But the bottom line is, my preferred tool is the tool that I know that can get the job done fast and effective. So on my off time is when I always experiment with software so I can hit the ground running when I start a new project.
