Peter Ramsey
Legends unite when we sat down with Peter Ramsey to talk about his first feature film Rise of the Guardians! Peter talked to us about what it was like to bring Santa Claus(North), the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Sand Man(Sandy) and Jack Frost together to fight the Boogie Man(Pitch). We go back to Peter’s beginnings as a storyboard artist on live action features such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Hulk, Fight Club, and Minority Report. We then get deep into the story and character development on Rise of the Guardians and talk about working with actors and animators to bring these characters to life. Talking with Peter was so great, he’s a super friendly guy that very honestly shared what it was like to be a director. This interview is jam packed, we even talked about scoring the film and what never made it into the movie and why. We had an amazing time talking with Peter!! Enjoy!!
