#57 - A.I. Prankster and Tuttle Twins Animation Director: Mike Morris. Directing Aanimation Livecast

Thursday, July 25, 2024 • Duration 24:31

Uploaded to YouTube July 24, 2024. Audio edited by Kiara Horowitz.

Since interview Story artist, consultant, director Mike Morris, I've been amused by his contributions to "collaborative posts" on LinkedIn. Knowing these "articles" are used to train AI, he trolls them in the funniest way and ironically earned the "Top Animation Voice Badge" on his LinkedIn profile at / animike But that's not what this episode about. It was a serious, great conversation about living as an artist in the animation industry. His thoughts inspired me and hopefully will do the same for you!
