I've just posted an interview recently conducted with Tim Borrelli, lead animator on Summoner, over at the interviews page. Here's a couple snippets, which will in turn whet your appetite for Tim Borrelli, and then you'll go read the whole interview:

What would you say is the hardest part of your job?

Hmm. This has to be getting all the work done that is necessary as fast as I can, but also keeping the high quality that is expected of Volition artists. Also, with the addition of Jason Shum, another character animator on Summoner, helping him keep his work consistent and helping him improve, through critiquing it, can be hard at times as well. You never know when you are saying the wrong thing, even though it's meant in a constructive manner.

What do you think is your greatest achievement so far in Summoner?

For characters, it's a toss up between Titus (the Stone Demon) and the Orenian Samurai. Both were a lot of fun to animate, and I am happy with how they both came out. For cutscenes, I can't say until I'm done.

Now, go read the whole interview! When you're finished with your Timmy craving, don't forget to drop by our interviews section and read all of our other fascinating interviews!
