I chat with Taylor Aseere, Layout Lead at Dreamworks Pictures about what is layout, how it's different from storyboards and how pre-vis is the counterpart in live-action films to layout in animation. Plus we talk bout Taylor's own company Shattered Glass Films, which mainly does "pre-vis", or pre-visualization. In my "back-in-time" segment, we talk about Taylor's journey from college to where she is now and how she didn't exactly start in layout, but found a job in the industry that got her there. She expanded on this in my advice segment with several pieces of great advice for someone wanting to break into the animation world. Check out her work at shatteredglassfilm.com or on Instagram/TikTok @shattered_glass_film

Please be advised that this particular episode was recorded live in Taylor's kitchen and due to improper mic set up, took a lot longer to edit and doesn't have as high quality sound as other episodes. My apologies.
