In episode 11 Dan and I talk to legendary animator Carlos Baena. The Hollywood veteran has worked on such iconic films as Toy Story 3, Cars, Finding Nemo, Star Wars: Episode II, Men in Black II and Jurassic Park III.

However Carlos isn’t just a artist, he’s also a teacher, having co-founded the online school, Animation Mentor to teach others the craft of bringing characters to life. During our talk, Carlos tells us about his journey from his home country of Spain to the U.S., some of his strongest artistic influences and a few of the lessons he’s learned over the years that have helped him become one of the most sought animators today.
