Episode 5: The Roadmap

from Armature Hour · host Charlie LaVoy & Jenna Pinchbeck

🎧 A cozy, behind-the-scenes podcast for artists, animators and storytellers. Put it on while you draw, animate or make your own art! In Episode 5 of Armature Hour, we step out of the world of Howl and map the road to actually making it. Charlie walks us through our development plan, from a one-sheet and a proof-of-concept short to finding a studio, raising the money and pitching a feature or series. Then we look at how some of our favorite projects made the same journey: Scavengers Reign, Wallace and Gromit, Adventure Time, Anomalisa and The Dam Keeper. Hosted by Actor Jenna Pinchbeck and Filmmaker Charlie LaVoy.
