    Ep. 20 - OAKFIELDS COLLEGE: Animation Portfolios, Lectures & Laughter

    Ep. 20 - OAKFIELDS COLLEGE: Animation Portfolios, Lectures & Laughter

    I'm going back to university! I kid, I kid, but I did spend a full day with third year animation students at Oakfields College in Pretoria, South Africa.



    I'm really excited for you to meet the students, see their work, spend time in their classes and introduce Oakfields College to those who haven't heard about it!

    Seeing the experience of studying animation from the student's perspective is very powerful - maybe even more powerful than traditional advertising. That's why I'm spending a day with animation students and unveiling the mystery around their chosen university course. If you're not sure where to study animation I've got you covered on the podcast with Cabblow's University Guide!

    Ep. 16 - Sell, Sell, Sell

    I would say 2022 is the year where I gained the most experience pivoting our sales strategy. I don’t know how many times I pitched, re-pitched, re-packaged and revised our presentations this year. We had to re-adjust to manage some unexpected financial woes or risk falling apart. Since book 2 is all about learning from the set-backs while still making progress today’s lessons fit just right.

    When I started Cabblow Studios I don’t think I fully grasped what I was getting myself into. I just didn’t to want be a statistic of unemployment as a recent university graduate. Running a studio has many moving parts from creative tasks, to managerial tasks as well as marketing and sales. It can feel like you’re being pulled a hundred different ways just trying to get your business off the ground.

    So let’s talk about all the lessons I’m learning about improving the day-to-day operations of a studio.
