Welcome to Creative Block! This week’s guest is KEITH PAKIZ! Keith is an animator, director, and storyboard artist who worked on Aquaman: King of Atlantis, Wylde Pak, and animated various A Studio Digital shorts.

In this episode, SEAN talks to KEITH about MOON COUNTY, CREATING MUSIC FOR THEIR ANIMATED SHORTS, WRITING A SEGMENTED STORY, and so much more.

While we talk, we doodle on a MAGMA, where we draw from prompts we got on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, YOUTUBE, THREADS, NEWGROUNDS, and PATREON. Subscribe to our channel to hear more stories of other animation professionals!
