S04E02: Ere Santos — Autodidactic Animation Savant


Listen Later

Like many animators, Ere Santos discovered his love for

animation at a young age but rather than wait until he was
“grown-up” to pursue his dream, he started on it
immediately. With a copy of Blender, an animation school
syllabus, and a dream to work at Pixar, eight-year-old Ere was
on his way.

A decade later, Ere found himself standing at the gates of

Pixar for his first day of work.

The journey to working in animation has been long and

challenging but through it all, Ere has persevered, working
through the challenges and rejection to make a career for
himself and now he’s looking ahead to the next stage of his
creative life.

We recently had a chance to speak with Ere about his

self-guided journey to working in animation, inspiration, and
his self-dubbed lofty goals for the future.
