This month, Sarah Marino (Color Supervisor at Nickelodeon), Jenn Ely (Production Designer for House Special, Visual Development Artist for Dreamworks) and I are teaching a new online workshop called First Flight: How To Create Your New Career In Visual Development.

I invited them both to join me here on The ArtCast to promote First Flight and talk about how they achieved such significant success in their animation careers…

Episode Highlights include:

• Turning fear into faith.
• Becoming more professional by de-emotionalizing your creative process.
• Why we stopped caring about job titles.
• How fear cost Jenn a a big opportunity (and why she’ll never make that mistake again).
• Why Sarah had to climb through a human hamster wheel. (That’s not a metaphor.)
• Inspiring gumball machines and the healing power of ice cream.
• Is a successful animation career worth the cost?
