Episode 3 - Animation Complex

This episode is a little different. I sat down with former coworker turned friend Jen Hurler of Animation Complex to talk about her journey into the animation industry, working in feature film and life After Blue Sky Studios. This conversation was recorded before I really knew what I wanted to do with the audio and before I  came up with the structure for episodes.
