Netflix Production Designer Tomas Pajdlhauser recently sat down to talk about the lines that connect animation and skateboarding.
A Venn diagram of artists and skateboarders would have a crowded intersection. From Ed Templeton’s iconic Toy Machine graphics to Tommy Guerrero’s lo-fi albums, contemporary art and skate culture are undoubtedly symbiotic. Netflix Production DesignerI was introduced to art through skateboarding. A lot of my friends and the people I looked up to in skateboarding were artists.
You own Birling, a much-loved skateshop and café in Ottawa, and design all the shop’s board graphics. What makes a good board graphic? How does composing for animation differ from illustrating board graphics? Animation is not much different. The same way I compose a graphic on a board to account for the shape and placement of the wheels and how it gets used, in animation we stage and compose scenes to guide the audience through a shot. We make sure they know where to look and how to feel at that moment in time. Design is relative but what connects all design is the ability to predict and control the relationship between the product and its user/audience.Working with Red Bull was great.
