Wonderful insight into animation directing
I’m an animation student, and I’ve been listening to this podcast during the spring of 2020. Since I can’t go to any film festivals, artist lectures, or film screenings right now, this podcast has been a wonderful resource.
There are many places you can find a broad and romanticized view of the top 5% of animation production, but this podcast explores the actual practice of directing in all sorts of animation, from tv specials to feature films to cartoon series.
Thank you very much for making this podcast, I am excited to finish listening to season 2 and I look forward to hearing more.
