Audio Interview: "Kung Fu Panda" animator and martial artist Rodolphe Guenoden

Rodolphe Guenoden is an animator and a student of martial arts. In the film "Kung Fu Panda" Guenoden had the task of figuring out how to adapt real-life kung fu and martial arts fighting to animation. On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to talk to Guenoden by phone and ask him about his background in martial arts and the task of animating the martial arts for this movie.

"Kung Fu Panda" -- which stars Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan and Seth Rogen -- opens in theaters this Friday.

Feel free to critique not

Feel free to critique not just what Rodolphe says but this post itself.

I thought this interview would be a good opportunity to try something new and rather than transcribing the phone conversation, I've posted the audio unedited. If you enjoy listening to the interview in this format, then I can do more of these audio interviews in the future.

I'm also trying out a new audio player because I realized today how bad the other one was.

All suggestions welcome...

i understand him saying that

i understand him saying that the ground game would probably be anti-climatic to a movie, because it's a movie and not mma. fighting for your life in a scene in a movie is different than a UFC fight where it's just 2 dudes...

good interview...and he's training in krav maga. i've seen 2 krav maga gyms in long beach...

Did you enjoy this as an audio interview rather than a written transcript, phoenix? Sometimes I think it's nice to hear the voices but I'm trying to gauge whether everyone would rather read an interview or listen to it...
