What enlightening essentials might one find on Kirsten Lepore’s desk since we spoke to her earlier this week?

From Kirsten (in the midst of a move):

Up front, from left to right:

1. props from previous animations

2. a fake mouse

3. feathers

4. this purple woven thing that my grandma gave me (that’s been at her house since I was a kid)

5. a sketchbook Pixar gave me when I visited

6. 3D and “rainbow” glasses

7. focus targets from the DragonFrame software package

And to the back:

9. a book from an animation history class

10. HDcam tapes

11. more sketchbooks

12. unfilled festival entry forms

13. blank DVDs

14. some sort of vitamin - magnesium?

15. and of course, the #1 think I can’t live without, a trusty box of tissues by my side for what my dad has affectionately coined “the Italian nasal drip” that I inherited from him. 

Now that I think about it, the contents of my desk pretty accurately sums up my life.

(Thanks Kirsten!)
