You need to be Fearless & put your Ego aside - Storyboarding with Chris Williams E023 Animator's Breakfast

Oscar winning director Chris Williams has been storyboarding for most of his career. Joining Disney in the 90s and working on classics like Mulan, Lilo and Stitch and The Emperor’s New Groove he was then oven the chance to cut his teeth in the hot seat. Directing Bolt, Big Hero 6 and co-directing Moana, he then left Disney and directed The Sea Beast, an incredible action adventure that is one of the few animated movies that verges on Epic.

Speaking to Chris on this podcast is a huge privilege for me and I’m so thankful he took the time to be open, honest and transparent about the nature of sitting with stories and developing them into animated features. Even if the conversation can get a little opaque, I love the message of this conversation.

These are a few of the things we talked about:


Understanding what makes a story
Developing a story takes time
The three ingredients that add up to some of the best artists in the industry

& so much more!

I’m really excited to hear your thoughts after listening to us ramble on!
