How did this guy get the job? It doesn’t look like he had much of a career before Roger Rabbit.. I expected they would hire a Disney animator to manage it...
Because he was working on a film called The Thief and the Cobbler (butchered by Mirimax but there is an amazing cut online). Well, they saw those tests and said, that's our guy. Williams was a perfectionist and learned from the best Disney animators in the business. He deserved the film and his Oscar.
The whole imapct Roger Rabbit made was because it was real traditional animation in live action.
"Very simple. Just a lot of work!"
He was so modest at times and yet he knew how good he was. I hope he is in heaven with Bob Hoskins now.
RIP Richard Williams
hey it's always fun listening to Richard ;]
and the knowledge, passion this guy has 0o always helps, and motivates me in my work :>
RIP Richard Williams (1933-2019).
Not only super talented, but humble and seemed like a genuinely good guy.
richard williams very good animator i am very happy
Cant believe I missed this
I can't begin to imagine what he'd have thought about animation being done by AI..... 😬😬 Probably departed at the right time...
Did richard have anything to say about Raggedy Ann & Andy?
Did you mute the more harsher profanity or was his mic cut off? If it was the former, is there a particular reason?
This was posted officially by the BFI. I do have audience recordings of the audio.
