yes, I am very frustrated with my inability to paint thin line curves and circles with a paintbrush and I end up thinking i will have to use a paint pen to gain control.
Hello again, just an update to the WDFAD page on FB. As you know, I started that page dedicated to those desks' and enjoyed it thoroughly. For what ever reason FB police disabled or shutdown the page. I don't know the reason why, but after trying to figure out why, I have had no luck with FB giving a reason, it just disappeared. But after all that hard work in getting all the wonderful photos, history, and all the great stories, there all gone thanks to the FB police. Hoping the page will come back someday. Thank you for all the love that page has created! Jamey Wright
Oh no so sorry to hear that! I wish I knew someone at FB that could help. Sometimes it seems like it's completely random when that happens. I hope it comes back soon!
Just wondering how many frames of animation and or paper can one person do in an hour traditionally and then how many hours does one go and work for and how many days of the week is it a typical 5 days a week having two days off and 8 hour shift any doubt I'm on a time how many frames can one actually make I'm just trying to understand how long does it really take to make an animated Cartoon like how many frames can you create any weeks worth?
I wish I could find one of these desks for sale, it would be one of the center pieces of my personal animation studio, like how AVGN and Irate Gamer have their own gaming rooms.
Hello! I have updated the URL in the description as it was an old link. You can see the page there. However, just as an fyi, I have not started producing this course yet.
Tony West & Dan Lund recorded themselves having to buy their desks in the documentary Dream On Silly Dreamer. Animators even resorting to donations as Disney required $1300 to take them home being $2100 today yet priced the scene stacking shelf cabinets at only $50 so yeah
Hi there - don't know of any specifically. I had heard someone made plans that you could get build your own desk like this, but I haven't come across them yet.
Thank you so much for this info! The little details behind animation - I can't get enough of, and can never find enough of! Also, I'd love to be so lucky to be able to buy one someday. Saw one up for auction months ago, one of the originals from Disney's burbank studios Edit: Oh! I have however rigged up my own rotating light box - the extra cheap, super poor man's version lol: A 20 buck led light pad, glued to a lazy suzan! Though the cord can sometimes get in the way! Temporary until I can build a proper box with disc and acme bar!
Do you think the book has enough pictures or other information to build a replica or something very similar? I am looking to build a desk "in the spirit of" around my Cintiq.
Probably not in terms of measurements/etc. but I want to say that someone online had created plans to build your own, so you might find those somewhere! The Cintiq idea has cool - I have seen that floating around too!
Dude! Thank you. Do you happen to know what you call the clamp down cinches? Rather than the peg system. Thanks so much for making the content. I recently went to a Cirque du soleil show in Orlando that was designed around Ken Weber desk and all the illustrators gear! The show was an homage to former artist & illustrators. Just huge. Including giant Blackwing pencils. I have pictures.
I’ve been trying so hard to find a classic Disney animation disc like yours just to see what that circle thing on the bottom peg says. Do you by any chance know what it says?
@@Zeke2125onYT not sure - I would doubt it, as most animation these days is digital. However I have heard of plans online somewhere that you can use to build your own.
I guess these desks do well what they are built for. But they look completely ugly, to be honest. No way I would pay for that. Plus, I had a desk with a lot of open storage as well and it was a nightmare to dust, so I know that's not the most practical design. If that had at least some kind of shutter. And don't get me wrong. I'm not blaming people for liking and wanting those desks, all I say is that I don't share their excitement.
Yea, I could definitely see it being a "what's the big deal?" scenario if you aren't that into them. It's as much about the history as it is anything else.
I wonder how one might modernize the design a bit to something more aesthetic. I mean, I like how they look, but I do like how some modern desks look as well, and wonder if anyone's tried to merge the two. I've certainly seen smaller more practical designs, but to me they look too cheap. I want something more...walnut or something like those uplift standing desks.
I would say not too complicated at all for anyone with experience in woodworking. The most difficult part would be finding/creating a way to angle the center table, if wanted. Take that part out of it, and I'd probably put this at a 30-40 on your difficulty scale. I want to say that I've heard of plans out there for building your own, so that might be worth checking into!
As a way of saying thank you for making this video, here's a tip, the motion thing that moves the frames works better with smaller sheets, and the more practice you get with it, the easier it gets.
THanks Eric for that awesome detailed video ! I was always curious what was in those drawers, Hope Hope to own one in the future! keep up the great content
