Episode 10: Animation

This episode we sit down with a couple great friends of mine: Mark How, Principal Lead Animator at BioWare, and Mookie Weisbrod, Senior Animator at BioWare. These guys are some of the nicest and helpful individuals I know, and I'm sure all you animators will get plenty of awesome info from this one! So far this is one of my favorite episodes, so don't miss it!

Great work!

Big thanks to Mark How and Mookie Weisbrod for sitting down and providing this information and laughs along the way. Also A Bigger thanks to Aaron for producing this invaluable podcast.

Personally the part of only the best work in the demo reel, was a huge insight and help. Especially for school works that will need more time to be worked on if its not a 10 after graduation.

I forward a link to the animation mentor internal forum, to spread the word.

So what’s this all about?

This podcast is dedicated to being a free information source for those looking to get their foot in the door, as well as a tool for industry professionals who need a good resource to pass along to anyone who might need advice.

As many others in the industry, I have received many emails from driven individuals who are trying to get into the video game industry and seeking information. For a while now, I have been thinking of ways to best answer these questions, not just for one individual, but for many. This is what started the Games Industry Mentor.

A bit about myself:

My name is Aaron Canaday and I work as an environment artist for BioWare Austin, and as you can guess, a large majority of my guests for the show are pulled from the amazingly talented friends I have at that studio.

To send in a question - email gamesindustrymentor@gmail.com, or contact me on twitter at acanaday and I will do my best to answer those questions on a show.

Games Industry Mentor Your foot, our door.
