March 27, 2019 Ep. 089: Your Animated Life Part 4 - Freelancing with Todd Favela
Freelancing – the mythos surrounding the word is palpable. Make your own hours! Charge your own rates! Work in your PJs! But is it the promised land that many of us think it is? In today’s episode character and prop designer and returning guest Todd Favela shares his insights into the world of freelancing. We discuss taxes, health insurance, getting enough sleep, managing client expectations, how to NOT be a hermit, contracts and more. Join us and prepare yourself for your next freelance gig.
And a note on the audio – it rained in LA (hooray! no more drought!) so those dulcet tones you hear (aka slight static) is the rain falling outside during the recording. But you can hear everyone’s voices loud and clear. Enjoy!

February 13, 2019 Ep. 086: Your Animated Life Part 1: Surviving in Los Angeles and your education!
Working in the field of animation is often harder than most people would have you believe. That’s why we’re here to demystify the process! In this miniseries, your intrepid podcast hosts Angela and Jeff breakdown what it’s like living in LA. We tackle the cost of living, getting a survival job while you work to break into the industry (we’ve had plenty), getting an education, internships, getting critiques on your work, and so much more. We want you to succeed and learn from our successes and mistakes. In the coming weeks we’ll be bringing in guests to share their experiences as well. If you have any questions about the industry and living in LA, send them our way!
