Alt Animation Podcast

#1

Hello fellow animators,

After listening to some awesome animation podcasts by some of the best in the business, it made me realize that 99% of real life animation work doesnt take place at Pixar or Dreamworks and there are a million different ways to be a animator.
So I decided to make my own podcast talking about the alternative side of the animation industry and interview some interesting fringe animators (its totally FREE).

Thanks in advance guys! I love animation so much and I hope my excitement and passion for it comes through in the podcast, even if it isnt as articulate as I would hope :slight_smile:
