Summary

A rare treat today on the Filmmaker Toolkit: a deep dive into feature animation directing! Directors Byron and Jared explain how the film was essentially in pre-production, production, and post-production simultaneously across it's 5 year development. They also dug into the ways casting and character creation intertwine, and the challenge of packing every frame to the brim with detail. Listen to the Screen Talk Podcast.
