March 15, 2024 22:00 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MBWelcome to our second annual Kidscreen Conversations episode. I headed to San Diego, not Miami this year for the first west coast Kidscreen.

Today we chat with Sean Charmatz and Peter McCown from DreamWorks about their new film Orion and the Dark, which is out on Netflix. This one is super inter...
48. Spider Conversing with Mike Lasker, VFX Supervisor on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
November 08, 2023 22:00 - 58 minutes - 40.4 MBToday we have a treat as I chat with Mike Lasker of Sony ImageWorks. I don't know about you but I was blown away by Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - and actually when it finished, I sat there with so many questions - mainly around the theme of 'how the hell did they do that?!' I have long had a fascination with render styles that veered away from realism, playing with toon shaders and compositing techniques in my own work and trying to find new looks that were fresh or different. Of co...
47. Sandy Wax - Talks about her career at Discovery, Disney and Sprout
October 04, 2023 14:00 - 54 minutes - 37.5 MBIn today's episode, we have a conversation with Sandy Wax - a former Discovery, Disney, and Sprout executive. Sandy is delightfully curious, and that curiosity really paved the way for so many things - from her interest in research, to how that ties into content development and marketing and branding - and what led to her becoming CEO of Sprout for over over 10 years. Branding is something we don't talk enough about, so I loved diving into this with Sandy - and she's had 3 different and ma...
46. The Inventor - With Jim Capobianco, Pierre-Luc Granjon and Kat Alioshin
September 13, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 54.5 MBFor this episode, we're breaking down The Inventor with an 'Anatomy of an Indie Stop Motion Film'. We first had Jim Capobianco on the show almost two years ago! In that chat, he talked about the stop motion feature project he'd embarked upon. With the Inventor releasing in theatres on Friday, September 15th, we thought doing a deep dive and breaking down how it made it to screen would be a great idea. To do so we were joined by Jim, the film's writer and director (Jim was also Oscar-nominat...

44. Kirk DeMicco and Faryn Pearl: Director and Co-Director of DreamWorks Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken
July 05, 2023 22:00 - 55 minutes - 38.5 MBIn this episode, I got to chat with Kirk DeMicco and Faryn Pearl, the director and co-director of DreamWorks Animation's latest film, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. As with most films, what we see onscreen is only part of the story. If you look at the math, Kirk's last directorial project was Vivo, released around 2 years ago, which means Ruby was a sprint from when he came aboard - pun intended. This film is refreshing in that it's focussed on a young female protagonist, and the entire t...

41. Joseph Feinsilver - Art Director Puss In Boots - The Last Wish
April 05, 2023 16:00 - 38 minutes - 26.3 MBSometimes you see artwork that leaps off the screen - almost like visual click bait! Joseph Feinsilver's concept art did that to me when I spotted it on Instagram, so I wanted to chat to him about his story, his process and his work on Puss In Boots: The Last Wish. Joe shares his story about breaking into the industry just out of college which is really inspiring if you're painting day and night, posting online and wondering what's going to happen next, and also chats about his process and...

March 22, 2023 23:00 - 1 hour - 43.4 MBThis week's episode is a bit of a departure from our regular format, as I chat with 3 people from Kidscreen Summit in Miami and share some of my own thoughts.

Tom was visiting Kidscreen for the first time, so it was a great opportunity to sit down and chat. I then spoke with Dylan Edwards from Copernicus Studios in Canada about the journ...

After starting as an intern on the original Toy Story, rising up to producer on UP, Inside Out, Toy Story 4 and helping to shape Soul, Jonas has 4 Oscars under his belt and is now Executive Vice President of Production at Pixar. That would be a great story itself, but there are a lot more ingredients mixed in here, and really, this conversation ...

February 08, 2023 16:00 - 44 minutes - 30.9 MBThis episode is a chat with Julie Kane-Ritsch, Talent Manager and Head of Animation at The Gotham Group. It's a fascinating chat that shows that managers and agents have all kinds of paths into the industry, and Julie's journey is really cool. When Hanna Barbera's shorts program produced 12 shorts, with 4 of them being Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Dexters Lab, and the Powerpuff Girls, Julie was there.

December 07, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour - 42.4 MBIf you've been taking in all the animated features this year, you no doubt have The Bad Guys as one of your favorites. For me, it's one of my favorite films of the year, animated or not. And it certainly has its own flavor, a flavor which is really fresh, reminiscent of great heist films, and infused with a lot of today's guest, director Pierre Perifel.

I'm joined by long-time Pixar animator Shawn Krause, who has known Ralph, or Eggman as many knew him, since the early Pixar days. Ralph shared his journey and his wisdom generously in this int...
