Today we round off our wonderful interview with Baman Piderman creators, Lindsay and Alex Small-Butera. It’s Alex and Lindsay’s desire to speak honestly and make what’s in their hearts that fuels their creative spirits.

This time, we discuss:

• Writing for kids, without talking down to them
• How the internet has changed comedy
• Why you don’t have to rely on “inspiration”
• What Lindsay and Alex think is the one most vital thing a DIY Animator needs

In part one of this interview, we learned a brief history of Baman Piderman, from its origin to its time at Mondo Media, and touched on the resonating power of making the type of work you personally want to see more of. Now, in part two, we see how Lindsay and Alex‘s determination to turn Baman Piderman into a reality became the catalyst for a host of unexpected opportunities.

This time, we find out:

• Where Lindsay and Alex feel DIY animation is headed
• What it was like guest animating on a Clarence episode and directing an Adventure Time episode
• What a strong relationship with their audience did for Lindsay and Alex’s Kickstarter
• Being yourself and having your voice be the drive of the things you make
