Tara Helfer and Caitlin Rose Boyle talk about their experience creating and developing Buck and Lou and the Night Crew, for Nickelodeon's 2014 Animated Shorts Program.

We discuss what it was like to pitch a concept for a short, and how their friendship resulted in a natural road towards collaborating.

Caitlin also shares a bit about Jonesy (written by Sam Humphries, colored by Mickey Quinn), the comic she is currently illustrating for Boom!.

Additionally, we talk about tools, art school, NeoPets, roleplaying games, and the cinematic tragedy of Jurassic Park 4.
