Upcoming Interviews
Working on several new interviews on the Animateducated YouTube channel and wanted to let you know they are up and running.
The first is an interview with Alfredo Cassano, who animated Jesper in Klaus. Alfredo and I teach online at CG Spectrum and I reached out to interview him and find out more about his animation background.
The next upcoming interview is with David Steinberg aka D. J. Steinberg who has become a Children's book author with 25 books written and still going. David came from Animation production where he worked for Don Bluth, at Disney Animation and recent at Nickelodeon.
In this interview, he explains what its like to write Children's books, work with illustrators and reads some of his published works. Now if I can just get his dog Oscar back to him, everything will be fine.

Two Acting cousins
If you want to be an Animator, you got to have some acting skills. Think about it, if you are animating a character either in Maya or in Harmony, you need to be able to create a performance and understand how your character will act or react in different situations.
I interviewed my two cousins, who are not animators, but one is a well known Shakespearean actor in the Bay area named James Carpenter.

And then there's Jeremy Foley, who began his acting character in a SeaWorld video with Samu which lead to him escaping from Dante's Peak. He made the transition from child actor to adult filmmaker and talks more about some of the films he and his wife Sara have made together.

The next interview will be with Sergio Pablos, the writer and director of Klaus, which was nominated for an Academy Award this year and is bringing back traditional 2d animation!Saturday, April 11, 2020
Working from Home
Here's a very interesting Zoom meeting of the Creators Society and the recent online lecture about working from home in animation. Click here to watch it.
https://vimeo.com/406247820/a8a87e8675?ct=t(creators-society-work-from-home-2020_no-show)&mc_cid=6b3c48d32d&mc_eid=9f0b2af90c
As a third of the world's population goes into lock-down, "Work from Home" becomes the new normal for many. Not everyone can work, to their full capacity, from home but artists working in animation can largely do everything they need from home.
In 2019 most job adverts read as 'onsite' so many people don't know how to work effectively from home or how to setup a workflow for it. But for the coming months, and probably longer, we can expect to see 'remote' or 'WFH' as an increasingly common option.
We're gathering some of the most experienced artists and animated filmmakers for this panel to talk about the ups and downs of working from home. Tips and tricks for making the most of it and making it sustainable for artists and the companies that employ them.

Aubry Mintz: Nothing to Say
When you first begin working on a film, the process is a journey that can take a long time before you finally finish it. Aubry Mintz started his journey at Sheridan College in Canada and began with a film idea that he has finally completed called "Nothing to Say".
The film is a 9 minute animated story about a turtle in a zoo who does not make a sound. There's a lot more to this film to talk about without spoiling anything. Take a listen to this interview to hear what Mintz has to say and learn what it takes to make a film without giving up on it completely.
There is a part 2 to this interview which will be coming out soon about the 24 hour animation contest which Aubry Mintz started many years ago.
