What has been the hardest part of your internship so far? (Other than the pencil skirts. :) )
Asked by Anonymous
This answer must be divided into two parts; a serious note and a reality note.
Serious Note: I think the hardest thing so far has been adjusting to the work flow of an animated movie. I’ve been studying live action and animation is very different. I mean the movie is edited before anything is even animated (sounds simple enough-but this blew my mind). Also animation goes through so many steps. From what I’ve seen it starts with just blocking of the characters, and then a bit of movement, then the mouth moves, then the layout is finalized, then the surfacing goes in and then the lighting- and I’m not even sure if I put those all in the right order (it is only day 4 of my internship. :D). Its just a beautiful beast!
Reality note: The hardest thing to deal with is the thumb-tacks. We use these really small thumbtacks that look like sewing pins- but are less than an inch long. After pinning an 8 x 5ft board on all edges, your thumbs start to beg for mercy. Yeeeeeee- First World Problems.

“I wish critics and animation fans would quite comparing all animation (especially Dreamworks) unfavorably to Disney and Pixar. As much as I love those studios, other companies like Dreamworks, Laika, and Sony also make wonderful films, with completely different art, animation, and storytelling styles. I know many of these critics grew up when Disney was the only animation studio, and they’re basing their opinions on their love and familiarity of Disney, but there are so many more studios now. “

While some women directors can still get tagged with being a bitch just because we’re as tough as men, I think writers respect us for being straightforwardly honest with them nowadays,” said Ms. Kauffman, who recalled how, early in her career two decades ago, she used to wear men’s pants and blazers to avoid seeming like ‘a weak woman.’ “When I need playwrights to give me space when I’m directing, I say to them, ‘I didn’t sit there when you were writing your first draft and go, ‘You’re using that word?’ ” added Ms. Kauffman, who directed “Detroit” to acclaim Off Broadway last fall and is remounting her much-praised production of Amy Herzog’s “Belleville” at New York Theater Workshop this month. “My regular playwrights get it because they know me well.”
….“I don’t feel a boys’ club exists anymore, but statistics might disagree,” Mr. Haimes said. “There does seem to be a generation of women coming up as directors who may really change the landscape.From this great article about female directors breaking into the broadway mens club:

True Life. Although professional clothes are optional in my field- its more of a classy casual work environment, unless you’re on set in which its sporty casual.
