EPISODE 133: BALAK
Welcome to CREATIVE BLOCK! This week's guest is Yves Bigerel AKA BALAK! Balak is a director, animator, comic artist, and art director. He co-creator of Lastman, Peepoodoo, Vermin, and Les Kassos, and most recently animated the title sequence for My Adventures with Superman.
Along the way, we chat with Balak about HOW HE GOT INTERESTED IN STORYBOARDING, LEARNING FROM HIS EXPERIENCE FROM LAST MAN, FAILING QUIETLY, and so much more!
While we talk, we doodle on a Google Jamboard, where we draw from prompts we got on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, THREADS, and PATREON. Subscribe to our channel to hear more stories of other animation professionals!
