Mr. In-Between by Bill Kroyer

Here is a new book which takes the reader back in time when 2D animation was starting to go through some changes as the new CG Animation was beginning to come about. This period of time could be known as the 2nd Golden Age of animation, when Disney's Black Cauldron was feeling like the end of 2d, but began to return with better films like "The Great Mouse Detective" and later with the original "The Little Mermaid".

Bill Kroyer writes about in-between in the middle of this animation revolution. Trained in the Disney style, Bill was drawn to CG animation by figuring out how to create the computer animation sequences on Tron with Jerry Rees. They had to coordinate 4 different CGI firms into making various scenes in different styles. He describes to process in an easy way that the reader can understand how big of a challenge it was to make for the first time.

Here is a promo for the interview I am currently editing together.

The final interview will be posted below.
