In our second podcast we invited Steven P Gordon, David Weatherly, Ben Rush, and Ken Fountain to discuss the rather elusive subject of comedy. Most of the time we all might jump in and try to make a shot funny based on things we’ve laughed at in life or in movies without really asking why [...]

“The Princess And The Frog’s Supervising Animator Mark Henn: A Career Retrospective”
They just posted part 3 [...]

Fantastic interview!!

Ted’s awesome, few animators have such clarity in their work. Ted consistently puts out crazy good shots. Way to go Ted…..J

Awesome job guys! Very professional, questions were great and just plain inspiring. Great job to Ted as well, I see why all your students love you.
Looking forward to the next one.

Great work guys, very professional, the sound is clear, one cool thing that you could add, is people be able to donwload and subscribe the podcast on itunes. (like splinecast)
cheers.

Brilliant !! A great artist and the best Asian Canadian goaltender in L.A. (as far as I know). Great job guys.
December 10, 2009 - 4:30 pm
Thanks for the podcast. I enjoyed listening to it. Sound quality was real good and the questions too. Its great to be able to get those kinds of insights into the industry when you are not actually a part of it and just starting out
December 10, 2009 - 4:43 pm
Thanks Helder, and itunes is coming very soon!
December 10, 2009 - 7:07 pm
Jim Levasseur told me about this! AWESOME! Good professional like website, podcast, etc. Good work guys!
December 11, 2009 - 10:09 am
actually. A straight download from the website would be even better. I don’t have Itunes on any of my machines and don’t even intend to install it (resources hog, hidden services like Bonjour and DNScache…)
December 11, 2009 - 11:04 am
There’s a “Download” option just under the player. Just right click and save as!
If the player or the download option isn’t working or even visible for you let us know and we can try to figure it out.

Great Podcast guys,
I really enjoyed it and I also learned a few funny facts and feel like picking up my pencil again where it all started for me as well. I like listening to these while working on a shot cant wait for the next one.

Very nice, good questions and I found specially interesting to know the transition process that Ted went from 2D to 3D. Looking forward for the next one!
December 11, 2009 - 4:37 pm
Cool site guys! I don’t know how you find time to put it together, but I’m glad you do!
You know, you might pass someone in the hallway everyday but never really get to know them so it was really fun to get a better insight into Ted’s history and artistic philosophy!
I look forward to your next installment!
December 11, 2009 - 5:04 pm
Great stuff guys. Ted….A LAWYER ? wow. I couldn’t imagine, it would have been Animation’s loss. Love the interview, looking forward to the next one.
December 12, 2009 - 12:36 pm

This was really inspiring!! thanks for this.. I can’t wait for more!
I’m gonna go animate now
December 13, 2009 - 6:48 am
man, I didn’t expect such a great indepth interview, that is awesome!
I didn’t quite get what he meant when he spoke about Cartoony animation being the “Vegetable” and acting the “desert” since he then mentionned Ward Kimball as one of his favourite animator. Any idea?
Ah and could we get more infos on that concept of “ambient motion”?
thanks again
December 14, 2009 - 2:03 pm
Hi guys!
Thanks for putting out more interviews with animators!
I’ve been listening to all the Animation Podcast episodes and Spline Casts over and over again, pining for more, more MORE!
It’s great that you’ve provided me with another source for my addiction
December 14, 2009 - 2:17 pm
This site/podcast is a godsend, guys — particularly since The Animation Podcast has been on hiatus for more than a year!
I can’t wait for more! Well done.
December 14, 2009 - 8:28 pm
Hi from surfacing at DW!
Nice to see you here Ted!
December 18, 2009 - 1:05 pm
Thanks for this 40 minutes of knowledge. I like to listen to people talking in a such of way so simple, so natural, not like other artist that think and talk like superheros. Very, very intereting this postcast.
December 29, 2009 - 8:56 am
Hey guys,
Haven’t listened to it yet but the site looks amazing! I’m really looking forward to visiting here on a regular basis! Keep up the great work so far!
January 14, 2010 - 8:14 pm
Nice job, sounds great for your 1st podcast!! Keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 18, 2010 - 3:51 pm
Great interview. I love these things. Thanks to Jason Ryan for posting this in his newsletter. Thanks again SoA team.

It was cool to hear, at least from a student standpoint, that Ted was a newb once too. Also, that he talks about how he grew to be where he is today. It’s somewhat of a familiar story that I can relate to my own. Great podcast, and keep them coming!
