The Frederator Interview Dodeckamechapost

Hello all!

In a year and 3 months at Frederator Studios, I’ve had an amazing opportunity: to speak with many successful people in animation about their love for their craft, their motivation getting into it, and the moves that made their careers. 50 of these conversations have made it onto paper (one into a video!), and now, I bequeath them to you in this Master’s Collection! Da dun! From the start, I’ve composed these interviews with a particular reader in mind. That is any of you following who dreams of working in animation, and becoming a part of the shows that you love. If that is you, then I hope these conversations will be a resource for you. Everyone’s path is different - that’s an overwhelming trend in these! - but if you wish to become a cartoonist, there IS a path open for you.

This also marks my last post to the Frederator Studios Tumblr. I’ll miss you all, and Frederator! But my path is taking me on to the next opportunity. It has been a gift to share this cartoon joy with you. Thank you for it.

Without further ado: read, enjoy, and follow these amazing artists, writers, actors, animators, producers - creators! And if you are that dreamer I’ve kept in mind - take the advice you like, leave whatever you don’t, but no matter what, please: believe in yourself. And begin.
