Jennifer Yuh Nelson, the director of the new animated film "Kung Fu Panda 2" could be destined for a career in the photos.

After emigrating to the United States from South Korea with her parents and two sisters when she was 4, spent her childhood in Nelson Lakewood, Calif., watching martial arts movies, playing with cars and drawing.

She would sit at the kitchen table for hours and draw their mother, they copy each stroke. Nelson traces the origin of their career to the formative experiences of family.

"Growing up, my sisters and I always talk stories," said Nelson, 39, during lunch with the commissioner of the DreamWorks Animation campus. "One of my frustrations, I knew nothing about cameras. I did not know how to make a film, and I obviously do not. A special effects budget, I was a child. So I was learning to be spent on the things that my head was that I could not afford to actually do so. "

Nelson conceived the story for "Kung Fu Panda 2", continuing the adventures Pummel Panda Po (voiced by Jack Black) follows. And now she is only the first woman to direct an animated feature from a major Hollywood studios.

Despite Kathryn Bigelow with director Oscar in 2010 for "The Hurt Locker 'women claimed still a rarity in the ranks of Hollywood filmmakers, only 7 percent of the area, according to a recent survey by the Center for the Study of the freed women Movie and Television in San Diego State University. In the world of animation, the lack of female directors is more pronounced.

Nelson is one of the four women, a function in her home studio DreamWorks Animation addressed - even though their contemporaries, their work shared with at least one male counterpart. And although the main competitors of the company, Pixar Animation Studios has 11 films to meet published, none were directed or coordinated under the leadership of a woman.

"There are not many female artists in history, and it is beyond me," said Nelson. "There are many children in the school that his wife, and I wonder where they all go? People have to ask me, what have you done?" I really do not know. I puttered along, doing my thing and sex has never been a problem. "

Nelson spent a brief time on television before March 1998 DreamWorks storyboard artist on "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" move quickly through the ranks at the head of the history. "Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas" became. Nelson was signed as head of story on "Kung Fu Panda 'and she also led the opening scene of the film, two minutes by hand, highly graphical 2-D segment, not CG animation presented, and was strongly influenced by influenced classic anime stylings. It was a test of a type that set producer Melissa Cobb and DreamWorks Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg to determine not whether Nelson, the challenge - they were sure - but give Nelson a chance to to prove that she could lead a large group.

As Cobb and Katzenberg Nelson asked to give "Kung Fu Panda 2" Nelson had their original idea of ​​a director to reconcile, if someone more tyrannical, more subdued with their own personality.

"I am a quiet person voice. I do not think throwing furniture. I do not think, tantrums," said Nelson. "As a director, your job is to protect this movie with your life. Keep it away from anything that would take its course and turn beige. You have to be very cruel, and that the hardest part for me was because I am not used to cry. "

"What I always so amazing is that over Jenny in this beautiful, soulful, soothing voice, elegant lady of this macho, kung-fu action-loving dynamo," said Katzenberg. "It is the opposite of what we have with the world, the macho exterior and marshmallow use your center. It is much more a sect that the state of our artists. They all want to work with her."
