| 2/21/18 |  How to build an internationally loved children’s brand: Michael Rose & Magic Light (also on iTunes) | Animation SA chats to Michael Rose of Magic Light Pictures about the Academy Award-nominated animated short, Revolting Rhymes, and how they turned their adaptation of Julia Donaldson's runaway bestseller, The Gruffalo, into an international cottage industry. | 34m 34s | ||||||
| 11/6/17 |  Bludgeoning the VR Market: Free Lives talks GORN (also available on iTunes) | Animation SA chats to Ruan Rothmann and Marcelle Marais of Free Lives, the indie gaming studio whose breakout 2012 hit, BROFORCE, put South Africa on the map with Steam users. They followed up with the startling multiplayer “party game,” GENITAL JOUSTING in 2016(clearly we’ve been going to the wrong parties). GORN, their first adventure in “visceral reality,” has received “overwhelmingly positive” ratings on Steam. Learn about the heady mix of overzealous imagination and advanced game physics that makes this gladiatorial combat simulation tick. Strap in folks, it’s a longie but a goodie… (Note: recorded August 2017 - the update mentioned is now live.) | 1h 10m 04s | ||||||
| 8/17/17 |  Lesego Vorster on the Gobelins International Masters Programme (also on iTunes) | Animation lecturer Lesego Vorster is the first South African to be accepted into the prestigious Masters programme at Gobelins l'Ecole de l'Image in Paris.

| 6/22/17 |  ”Cut on the Emotion, not on the Action” - Pixar editor Kevin Nolting | Animation SA chats to Pixar editor Kevin Nolting about his work on 2015's Oscar-winning animated blockbuster, Inside Out. Directed by Pete Docter, the film personifies the core emotions that drive the decisions of a young girl named Riley. As Nolting relates, it proved one of the most challenging project Pixar had ever tackled. Who ever thought understanding an eleven-year-old could be that hard? Well, probably any parent! | 27m 00s | ||||||
| 5/6/17 |  Bootstrapping a European animated feature: Alexandre Heboyan and MUNE (also on iTunes) | Director Alexandre Heboyan chats to Julia Smuts Louw about his feature film MUNE: GUARDIAN OF THE MOON, his new VR project, and the value of "gaining altitude" on your work. | 26m 56s | ||||||
| 11/21/16 |  Jeroen Jaspaert, Daniel Snaddon and STICK MAN’s journey (subscribe on iTunes) | Jeroen Jaspaert and Daniel Snaddon, directors of the BBC Christmas Special STICK MAN, talk about the journey of one sentient stick... all the way from the imagination of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, to the shores of South Africa, to France for a stunning win at Annecy, and now, to the BAFTAs! Jaspaert and Snaddon were thrown together in an "arranged marriage" for this UK/South Africa co-production. Here they discuss the joys and trials of co-directing, the challange of penetrating South African politeness, the difference between "charming" and "cute," how to make CGI look like stop motion, and how to survive animation reviews over Skype. | 41m 30s | ||||||
