  1. This is a very good podcast! Thanks for your work Tony.
    I'd only like to have a bit more information about the way the top professionals work, a bit of workflow, any tip, any failure they had on their professional life so we all can learn from it and know we are not alone, and things like that.

    Looking forward to the next one! :)

  2. I really enjoyed this. I find myself kind of in the same shoes Nathan was in for school. I'm always happy to hear other animators' experiences. Thanks for this podcast!
