Hollywood expert lauds Kerala's talent

Hollywood's animation and graphics expert Richard Klien said the creative minds of Kerala have more reasons to enjoy as the talent in the state is 'amazing'. 'It is not often that appreciations would pour in from the outside world, especially on creativity in a tech savvy animation industry. The talent that I find here is amazing, and is second to none in terms of creative capability,' said Klien.

Klien is a self-taught graphics expert who has worked with famous productions like 'Space Jam', 'Batman and Robin', 'Air Force One' and more recently on an unreleased Warner Brothers' blockbuster '10,000 BC'. Klien Wednesday interacted with animators at the Toonz Animation studio here in the Technopark campus.

'I can see a lot of interest among the youth in graphics and animation and academies like Toonz would go a long way in helping them hone their skills,' said Klien.
