Segment: Interview: Elsa Charretier - Recently wrapped up November (vol 4) with Matt Fraction, new YouTube show, a new art book on Kickstarter. Check out her Patreon.

1. Elsa, thank you so much for being on the AIPT Comics podcast for the second time….and congratulations on another successful Kickstarter this past September and now an official YouTube show launched too!
2. It became clear over time your latest Kickstarter also meant upping your game as far as cameras, lighting, and post production, what went into creating a studio in your home space and was this something you’ve wanted to do for some time before the pandemic forced us all to communicate more from our homes?
3. You’re very natural behind the camera, have you always wanted to be a host in videos and...dare I say TV some day?
4. Your YouTube show has shown off 3 video series, book club, 10-minute layout, and case study. What made these 3 your first picks to kick the channel off?
5. Do you have any other types of videos breaking down comics yet to be revealed?
6. Your video breaking down Reservoir Dogs is inspired. Do you find yourself watching films and breaking them down as you did here into comics layout?
7. Your videos range from 6 to 14 minutes in their final format, but I was curious is there many more minutes that you edit down?
8. When you work, is there anything that gets you in the zone? Any particular movies or music that put you in the right headspace?
9. You live in France and speak French, is there any desire to create video content for a French speaking audience?
10. As our guru, or comics guide, do you have any goals for the show or your career, or series or projects you’ve got planned to tackle?
11. Are there any other projects you’d like to discuss or plug today? We know you have a new art book in the works!
