Animation Podcast
OK, so I'm a little slow. It took me a year to download Clay's podcasts and listen to them, so I presume that I am the only animation geek to not have tuned in since it started. Oops.
I have been listening to the conversations in the car on my way to and from work. Very interesting stuff, and I would definitely recommend grabbing the entire series. The production values are high, which is something I wasn't expecting, for some reason. I think I erroneously assumed that 'recorded at home' would equate to dodgyness. At least, that's how it would be if I did it, and it's good to be proved wrong.
It also serves to highlight just how small the animation industry is, for with the exception of Disney CG Sup Eamonn Butler, my cube mate, the great Louie-D, has worked with all of the people interviewed thus far. Weird, eh? My current favourite thing is to listen to the podcast and then ask Lou about the person. He's a mine of great info and anecdotes, this one, but you have to know the right questions to ask to unlock his brain. The podcast gives me some good ammo to open the proceedings!
Nice job, Clay!

Eamonn Butler is working as Animation Manager at EA Games in Guildford now. He came into GCADT a few weeks ago and gave a talk on Animation procedures for Chicken Little, very talented guy that one.

Hey Kevan, thanks for the nice words! We have my wife to thank for the production value. She's made me re-edit shows if they didn't sound good. That's what wife/producers are for, right?
I wish I could do this full time, since it seems everyone in animation has at least one great story to tell.

Good to hear from ya, lad. You should get Lou on your podcast. He would connect all the dots for you!
