I am not a professional interviewer and I can become quite chatty when I'm nervous or in the presense of someone's work I admire. Case in point, I am currently editing out all my babblings and keeping the gold nuggets of inspiration from my interview with Joe Murray. Here is a promo for the interview to give me time to edit the interview together.
Joe Murray talks about his early days at De Anza College, where he made his student film "The Chore" which won him a FOCUS Student film award and an Academy Student Film award in animation in 1989.
His third film, "My Dog Zero" a self funded film before Kickstarter and Indiegogo caught the attention of Nickelodeon which evolved into "Rocko's Modern Life" and rest is animated history. Here's a clip from "My Dog Zero"
Joe Murray is offering a Masterclass coming in January 2026! Here is a link to his website to find out more: https://joemurraystudio.com/ You can also find a free download of his book.
So, you can see the final interview which I will post below and feel free to leave a comment or a like or subscribe to the Animateducated channel. I may post a full interview to the members section of the channel, although no one has become a memder yet, but maybe you will start the trend! Hope you enjoyed this post...
