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.
James was recently in an online play using Zoom. Check out the link below to this new form of online theater.

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!
