It's always interesting to me how much writers and artists have in common. In the video below, animator Gil Keane ("The Little Mermaid," "Tarzan," Beauty and the Beast") draws characters in space using a virtual reality headset and talks about what art represents: freedom. Here are a few quotes:
'When you draw, you're expressing something that's real, visceral."
"By making a line, it's sort of a seismograph of your soul."
"When I animate, there's a frustration I have, wishing that the flatness of the paper would go away and I could actually dive in."
"I would draw not to do a drawing but so I could step in and live in that world."
I wonder what new options virtual reality will open up not only for artists, but also for writers.
