Enjoy of this interesting interview with Scott:
1)    How does your passion start for the animation? 
My passion for animation has really been around forever. I can't really pinpoint when it started exactly because it's been from my earliest years. Though I can definitely say some of the animated films I watched at the earliest ages that definitely helped were Walt Disney's Fantasia and Dumbo and Hayao Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro.

2)    How kind of animation do you like to make? why?
I'm not making animation yet, but when I do I think I'd most want to make traditionally hand-drawn animated films. I personally probably wouldn't have the patience for doing final animation, but I'd love to be involved creatively, like creating the story and characters and doing storyboards and character designs. But I love the look of hand-drawn animation the most, so if I could make a pick, that's how I'd want it to look.

3) In what do you inspire when you create animation? 
What I would inspire to do with animation is kind of a broad question. I suppose what ever ideas I have, I'd like to see them come to fruition. I'd like to create stories that would appeal to everyone, and I'd like them to be really imaginative and deep stories. Though I'd also love to make something like an animated Indiana Jones-like film.

4) Why do you prefer make animation and not another kind of art?
I think animation has the potential to tell any story or idea you can come up with. And it can make them believable, even if its something not grounded in reality. There's also a timeless and universal quality to animated storytelling that seems to break contemporary and cultural barriers.

5)As artist of animation world, What creators and directors of animation do you recommend to the announcers and listeners of New Age? 
At the top of the list is definitely Hayao Miyazaki. There's not another filmmaker, either in animation or live-action, as imaginative as he is or with as much of a unique take on storytelling him as him. Each one of his movies are something completely unique and inspired, there's not a better filmmaker out there. Other animation directors and filmmakers I would recommend would be basically anyone at Pixar, such as John Lasseter and Brad Bird, all of them really, as well as Disney artists such as Glen Keane or Kirk Wise. And then of course there's Walt Disney himself, who, while not technically a director, really was one of the finest filmmakers ever.

6)And for finish, what objetive have you marked like artist of animation? 
I am currently learning animation (and video game design) in college, as it is my dream to create works in those fields
