After some time in development, I’m proud to announce that today marks the beginning of monthly podcasts here on the Animation Anomaly blog.
This month, my guest is accomplished world-travelling animator Rusty Gray. Currently based in Vancouver, Rusty has studied at Full Sail university and Animation Mentor. He has also launched a website of his own (RustyAnimator.com) that provides plenty of tips and advice to aspiring students and animators.
Although the focus is on education within the animation industry, we discuss a wide range of topics surrounding it from what skills degrees actually provide, to where the future of animation education lies.
Some relevant links from the discussion:
- SAS: The Crisis in Animation Studies
- Michael Bay is the smartest man in movies
- Math in Pixar video
- The Animation Pimpcast with Tom Warburton
- The Modifyers pilot
I’m a bit jittery in this first episode so feel free to provide some feedback either in the comment form below, or via email to charles [at] animationanomaly [dot] com.
The theme music is ‘Big Band Swing (Messin’)’ by Simon Wallace
