Dark Rides and Haunted Houses with Animation Artist, Reed Randolph

Reed Randolph is an animation artist, most recently working as a character designer on Exposing Kittens. This week Ben's chatting with  Reed about how he went from working as a teenage Scare Artist in the famous steel factory-turned haunted house, Sloss Fright Furnace to designing for an indie Dark Ride.In between he worked with Jim Henson Company, desiged concept art for Blippi’s Treehouse and went to Ringling College of Art (not necessarily in that order!) The guys talk about going to art school and whether its still recommended for young artists these days. What’s it like to pitch a "dark ride" to IAAPA? (The Global Association for the Attractions Industry) What's the best paint for black-light artwork? Reed has stories about that too! *******If you dig the show and want to support us, please leave a review wherever you get podcasts.You can now call and leave a voicemail about whatever you want!
