Eduardo Quintana Brings a Famous Richard Williams Drawing to Life in ‘UNPLUG!’

Eduardo Quintana is currently animating on Sergio Pablos’ forthcoming feature, Klaus, at SPA Studios.  In his spare time he created this personal test to pay tribute to master Animator, Richard Williams. Eduardo writes:

“UNPLUG!” is the first lesson in Richard Williams’ book: “The Animator’s Survival Kit”. Richard added some drawings to the lesson, illustrating what happened one day he went to see Milt Kahl.  I’ve always found those drawings very inspiring and the story was just screaming to be animated. The audio is taken from a Richard Williams’ masterclass video where, luckily for me, he re-enacted the story!
