Four days that made a difference...

My old mentor Børge Ring has written the account of our working on the Leica reel of Børge's Academy Award winning short film Anna & Bella in 1980, and sent it on to Michael Barrier, who kindly posted it on his weblog. It is basically the story of four of the best days in my life working in animation, as we excitedly worked specifically to streamline the story of the film. At the end of each day, I reshot the board with all changes - the fourth version is what is in the film.
Thank you, Børge for telling the story, and Michael, for posting it!

Michael is deep into Kansas City in 1922 - check it out!
