It’s really an amazing collection of stories from artists and their start in the industry. Always a pleasure to go back and listen to episodes from their archive.
So nice listening to so many different perspectives from the industry
My favourite podcast about animation and motion graphics.
Great content, keep up the good work!
I'm fairly new to motion graphics, so I'm always looking for places to gain knowledge of the industry. This podcast is a perfect place to do that. Not only is Zak interviewing amazing designers, but he is also asking them great questions. I have learned so much in this podcast and look forward to new episodes in my feed!
Definitly my favorite podcast, love getting to know about people in the animation/motion graphics industry.
Great podcast for animators! Zac provides a great format for an easy-to-digest show and gets a nice variety of guests to chat with. Keep up the good work!
I look forward to this more than any other podcast. From the oinking pig in the theme song to the recurring 3 questions after each interview. Best way to get insights into the animation and motion world.
One of my favorites! Well produced and entertaining. A must for any animator or mographer.
Really great podcast to fill quiet times whilst working. Interesing and inspiring in equal measure.
Zac is doing great things with Animalators. I’ve enjoyed every episode thus far. Great host and interviewer who keeps things on track. Highly recommend!
Great guests so far -- love the theme song too.
I love listening to this podcast, it provides so much information about animation and motion graphics. As motion graphics student it gives me so many resources to go find out more about!
I love listening to podcasts on web and graphic design. It’s the behind the scenes of the trade that I find so interesting, and Animalators is no exception. This show specifically fills the audio void in the field of animation and motion graphics. While prominent fields, they haven’t been justly represented like graphic design and web design. Great work, can’t wait for more.
Close up conversations with artists from the motion industry. Love it so far! Always looking forward to a new episode.
