Pretty excited to be introducing animation juggernaut Alex Grigg, someone whom I've been a fan of for quite some time. His work is incredibly emotive, full of texture and uniquely physical and tactile motion. We talk through a few of Alex's award winning short films going behind the scenes into his workflow and how it has changed and refined over the years. Alex blends a beautiful experimental and almost improvisational feeling into his films and we get to talk though how this particular style is injected into his projects. We touch on how vital experimentation and personal projects are to not only creating great work but also getting clients and more work.

Quotes
"By having those really tight deadlines, it just forces me to get creative with what I have to finish."
"Just finishing the work is the most important thing, and the polish and the finesse is gravy."
"When I was growing up, the idea of having a career in creative industries was like sorta, it was akin to wanting to be an astronaut."
"One of the reasons I do what I do, is like, I like every part of the process, which has naturally led me to sort of like making all these personal projects."
"Animation is very focussed on abstracting forms to make them appealing and achievable for animation."
"Seeing how you can create this little like, living, breathing creature, character out of nothing, it is kind of magical."
"Every day I come to work and I'm like well, I guess I suck still, so I can still be working on it, I can still be pushing myself."
