Svirsky is so, so good. One of our favorite animators working right now -- and Dull Spots of Greenish Color is one of the best films we've seen this year. Happy we could to introduce you to his stuff and his process!

As for Kensuke's Kingdom -- the Nagasaki sequence is one that Stuart mentioned as a standout himself. The directors hadn't found any temp tracks to guide that section and he came up with the idea of using Sakura, Sakura, which transformed into the final version he arranged. It seemed to be one of his favorite moments in the film as well, behind only the ending. Just talking to him, it was clear that he was really passionate about this project, which made the interview a joy to do. We really don't cover music enough in the newsletter and have tried to remedy that a bit this year, but there's still a long way to go.
