Boiled Over – Details, episodes & analysis

For the final episode of Boiled Over season 2, I sat down with one of my all time favorite animators and a dear friend: Dena Springer! I've been a fan of Dena's work for almost as long as I've been animating--her soft glowing worlds immediately captivated me from the moment I first saw them. I couldn't have been more excited to get the talk with Dena all about her process, inspirations, and methodology, and I hope you enjoy the episode!

Boiled Over is back with the last two episodes of Season 2! Recorded almost a year ago, this episode features an interview with Michelle Ku: one of my all time favorite animators and illustrators. Michelle uses a wide variety of mediums and techniques to create her beautiful and colorful worlds, and has worked on many exciting projects that range equally in variety. In this episode, we talk about her journey with animation and illustration, our favorite episodes of Spongebob, and so much more!

This week, we got the incredible fortune of getting to sit down with animator, illustrator, and cartoonist Roman Muradov! We spoke with Roman about his recent adventures into the world of 3D animation and Blender and what it's been like learning such a new medium coming from a very different background having done hand drawn still images. Discussing his experiments with digital animation had us on the edges of our seats, and we couldn't be more excited to share our conversation with you!

This week, we had the absolute pleasure of getting to do another in-person interview with the one and only Erma Fiend! Erma is truly the definition of a "jack of all trades"-- constantly mixing photography, stop motion, hand drawn animations, After Effects, and so much more to create some of the most unique worlds we've ever seen. Having done a tremendous amount of work in the medium of gifs, we dive into an incredible conversation about what animated loops mean to them among many other wonderful topics that we explore.

We're back this week sitting down with experimental character animator Jamie Wolfe! Jamie creates vibrant, beautiful, and electric worlds filled with incredibly unique characters and movements that look like nothing you've ever seen. She's well known for her music video work with King Krule, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, and Local Natives (to name a few), and has created a number of her own films and gorgeous loops that all exist in their own eccentric worlds.

After a bit of a hiatus and an exciting change to a new name, we're back this week with legendary animation meme page: 24 Memes Per Second! The group that runs 24MPS was incredibly kind to sit down with us and talk about their page, the work they've done for community building, and educating the masses about animation through comedic brilliance. In an effort to protect their anonymity as admins, we've distorted their voices for this episode. Follow them on Instagram to get a good laugh at some great memes and learn more about the history and culture of animation: https://www.instagram.com/24memespersecond/
