From Locarno to LA: Amos Sussigan’s animated journey
Locarno Meets - A podcast by Locarno Film Festival
Categories:
Production designer Amos Sussigan, who served on the festival Pardi di Domani jury, engages in a thoughtful conversation about his work on Animal Farm and broader insights into the animation industry. He delves into the intricacies of character design, highlighting the challenges of capturing individuality while avoiding cartoonish stereotypes, drawing on his varied experience, including Space Jam 2.
Sussigan also touches on the (at the time) ongoing strikes in the industry and concludes with profound reflections on his preference for the role of production designer over that of director, citing the complexities of the latter in a committee-driven feature film environment.
The interview offers a deep and nuanced perspective on animation and filmmaking.
