India Today: Aspire

The Art of Illusion

​

Though the animation industry in the country is poised to scale greater heights, a lot of farsightedness is required for India to become a creative powerhouse....

Students who attended an academic session later interacted with Philip Edward Alexy, an animation expert who worked for movies like Flubber, Star Wars, Jumanji. He said there was a dearth of good animators and options were wide open for talented candidates.

Art pulled me into animation

​

Cartoons have been capturing the hearts of everyone, be it young or old. The joy which these animated characters give, knows no bounds. A stress buster, a laughter riot, a comical journey, call it what you may. Cartoons definitely know the funny side of life. Who would know this better than Philip Edward Alexy....

​

Just for the record: this article has some rather embarrassing factual errors and started giving me the dubious title of "Hollywood Animation Expert", a title I have never claimed (or wanted, actually) to have. They also omitted the fact I took three years of Classical Animation at Sheridan College of Applied Arts and Technology after that one year of Art Fundamentals.

0:14:00: Pan of Philip Alexy working at his desk.

Spielberg voice-over (talking about animators at ILM): I think certain eccentricities are part of their character make-upand I think you can really understand that when you go to their little workstations and look around at all that art and fetish icon they have hanging up on their corkboards and taped to their workstations, you know. And then you see some of these guys...girls are really weird, but weird in a bohemian way...

page 45: [Doug] Smythe explains [the library shot]: ...We initially planned to use only real puppies and some Henson animatronic dogs, but the scene was way too lifeless. In order to do the splits, the dogs had to stay in one section of the room at a time. As Jon Alexander and Matt Wallin erased the real dogs, Mike Ludlam and Philip Alexy replaced them with CGI dogs doing more appropriate actions."
