What are the differences between the animation styles of Family Guy and Rick and Morty? Maximus Pauson from @BaMAnimation, who's worked on Rick and Morty, will help us understand how both shows are animated. This episode's main focus is on traditional animation and puppet animation. Thank you for all your help, Max!
Recommendations from Max:
"Make stuff for YouTube. People are going to want to hire you or pick up your project because it already has a following on YouTube. Social media is absolutely crucial. Its tough right now, there are so many people I know who are super talented and super experienced who haven't worked in over a year. Its really scary... You have to appeal to a small niche group and try to get them to pay for your stuff.
A portfolio that looks like the stuff out right now. Know where the jobs are. A lot of times I see portfolios and the art might be really good, but its just a bunch of furries that are drawn in an anime style. Your a great artist but you cant get a job because there are no shows right now that are furries in an anime style."
