Started animating in 2D and am learning 3D in blender as a hobby after my career fell apart. It’s the only thing that sparks creativity anymore. This is a nice podcast (I’ve listened to two episodes so far). Why did this podcast stop? Are you guys active elsewhere? I’ll look around. I hope there are more episodes in the future.

You guys should animate your episodes

Nice podcast

I recently just started teaching myself making animation. It’s so much fun but so challenging. This podcast lets me to see through the lens of experienced animators and such a relief to me that even the pros are also encountering these difficulties!

Great!

I just recently came across this podcast and I love it. As an animation student, this is the exact topics I'd want to hear about. Hope there is more to come!

Love it! Animation is tough, lots of work and if you are doing an animation project by yourself, you are in for a long process. This show gives you an insightful look at what experienced animators have done on their journey and actionable tips that you can use on your own projects.

I'm just two episodes in, but this podcast gives amazing insight. I'm making my second animated film now and their advice is helping me craft my project more effectively. Also highly recommend the first episode for anyone considering an animated project-- directors, screenwriters & any non-animators.

I've listened to every episode so far and every one has helped me out! I'm not a working animator right now but these give me such a big boost of confidence with my work! I can't wait to hear every episode coming out! You guys are truly amazing!

Great podcast, really opens a window on an industry that most folks take for granted. I can't wait for the next one to drop.

I find myself saying “AMEN” to this podcast over and over. As an experienced animator who is working for a company that is not experienced with animation, this podcast is a Godsend. I am asking all of the directors and producers to listen to this, so that they know that I’m not just nay-saying when I say, “That’s not how animation gets made”. Mike & Matt articulate the realities of animation so well. Thank you!!

I'm not an animator, but this is a really enjoyable podcast. The hosts do a great job of staying on point. This is contrary to even some of the best podcasts whose hosts talk too much about themselves and not enough about the subject matter.

So glad these guys decided to create such a great resource for animators, clients, and artists seeking to start their own production. Wish I had learned all this in art school, but it took me years of freelance and studio work to gain the knowledge they lay out here. Can't wait to hear more!

The hosts are experienced and knowledgeable. They give good advice and insight on the animation process and how it differs from film. They address each step in the process along with issues like "what kind of artist to hire" and budgeting. I have a mild interest in animation and I had no idea how complicated and difficult the process is. I appreciate animated features and shorts a lot more now that I have listened to this podcast. I hope more episodes are coming!
