This week's episode is a special 20min interview with animator Andrew Kaiko about his process of creating a short, inspiration, ideas on style, and of course his brand new short "Norm & Cory!" He has a great traditional style and a wonderful sense for color (which we also discuss in the interview) as you can see in his short ON VIMEO. I encourage all of you to watch it first. Andrew was also kind enough to provide some images to share as reference to the topics we discuss which you can also see below matched with a time-stamp indicating the relevant moment in the podcast. Let him know how much you like his work on twitter, on his video, or on the blog in the comments! Thank you, Andrew, it was a pleasure talking animation with you!
