Animator Eduardo Quintana animated the illustrations shown in The Animator’s Survival Kit by Richard Williams! Here, Richard asksanimation legend Milt Kahl about animating to music! 

Here are the images of the original exchange (in case you are unfamiliar):

The acting, pacing, and looseness are superb, and a real joy to watch! May it inspire you to push your animation skills!

this is so magical, it looks like little plants begin to grow and thrive at the bottom

this is a very common thing for mosses!! they’ve made themselves so resistant to water loss that they can squeeze out all intercellular water in the dry season, hang out like that for months or however long it takes for water to come back to their environment, and then ‘wake up’ when they can replenish their cells and resume photosynthesis!! a fun thing to try is to dry out a moss and then drip water on it and watch it come back to life!!
