Disney Drawing Test / Interview

Went into Disney yesterday for the drawing test and interview. I was disappointed with the way I performed in it but more about that another time. Just thought I would put a few more of the submission images up on the blog.

Here is the full tug of war sequence between Goofy and Mickey. The original problem was to create a situation in 3 drawings of a tug of war between Mickey and Goofy. There was also a requirement to have some 'contrast' between the characters along with the usual entertaining and interesting aspect to it. Here they are:







The next two were again interupting the characters in situations from bad, grainny photocopies. The first one was a dude in a suit with and umbrella and a brief case.



This last one really bugged me for awhile. Originally the dodgy photocopy was of a person bent over doing aerobics like a strange star jump or something. I couldn't really think of anything so I started jumping up and down in front of a mirror and stretching in a similar way. Judy had mentioned the day before something about yoga and the penny dropped. Do a tie-chi like stretching activity and show a relaxed character.

In the whole submission, I wanted to show a 'range' of drawings in terms of expression and movement. Thus to have a situation with a character mediating or moving slowly or something was appealing. Here it is:

Hey Matt!

All the Best for the Disney interview! (Even that I am not a big Disney fan myself, while being a great animation fan on the other side... They seem to be too commercial to my tastes.)

Still, keep up the great attitude! :)

Greetings from Vienna,
Alex
