Wow our very first post!  Speaking of Animation was created by animators Stephen Melagrano, Adam Strick, Jacob Gardner, and Ben Willis, as a place to share their interviews with inspiring artists in the animation community and blog till their hearts content about animation.  Being huge fans of both The Animation Podcast and SplineCast from the Spline Doctors, the guys of SOA set out to help give back to the same community that informs, inspires, and entertains us.  Yup, we love this stuff and can’t get enough of it! So come along with us as we interview our friends and fellow artists about their craft and thoughts on animation.

We’d also like to take the time and thank the many people that helped get this podcast off the ground.  Thanks to Clay for coming to the studio and sharing his experiences and advice. Thank you to all of our co-workers for the great suggestions and encouragement.  Thank you to Angela, Bernie, HR Dan, Jeff, and Marica for helping us make this possible. We couldn’t have done it without you.  Finally, a very special thank you to Ted for being our guinea pig and giving us such an amazing first interview!
