Evening with an Artist

We saw the Super Mario Bros movie and we want to talk about it so LETSA GOOOO!Join us for a review that we recorded immediately after seeing the movie in theaters, and yes, there are spoilers so please see the movie first! We race through the plot and discuss our favorite easter eggs seen in the film, as well as what we considered to be “missed opportunities”. We also threw out some theories to the story and the lore present in the film and we gave some insight into what could make the next Nintendo film better! And of course we talked about the voice actors!Bonus, we discuss the theatrical after-credits teaser, so if you didn’t feel like waiting through the credits don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!“Peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches, peaches I love you!!!”Check out our website: eveningwithanartist.comJoin us on Discord: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Instagram: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Twitter: @EveningwaArtistFollow Rich on Instagram: @richmeister84Follow Jordyn on Instagram: @turnipcakeartEmail us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Hello and buckle in as we dip our toes into the world of AI generated art. We chat about what it means to us and how we think it may shape the future, for better or worse, and what that means for the artists it exploits. This discussion, of course, inevitably leads to pondering the future of robotics and wondering when AI will finally become sentient and lead to our destruction and ultimate demise… Don’t worry we don’t dwell on that too long I promise. We also discuss the importance of paying artists a fair wage and understanding why art costs what it does.Then we get into a big list of shows and films we have been catching up on. Some of which include: Dragon Prince, the Boys Diabolical, Black cauldron, Quest for Camelot, Sea Beast, and our anticipation for the Way of Water. Jordyn also confesses one of her biggest pet peeves when it comes to a particular camera effect."Is there anything worse than water droplets on the camera lens?"Check out our website: eveningwithanartist.comJoin us on Discord: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Instagram: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Twitter: @EveningwaArtistFollow Rich on Instagram: @richmeister84Follow Jordyn on Instagram: @turnipcakeartEmail us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Happy New Year! We are back from a short break for the holidays and boy do we have a lot to talk about. We discuss holiday must watch classics and get into some other, less desirable Christmas themed films. How many “A Christmas Carols” have you seen? Rich goes over all the animated versions he never misses to watch every year.We get into some CG vs. realism and how we feel about wandering too far into the Uncanny Valley.What classics do you watch every year?Check out our website: eveningwithanartist.comJoin us on Discord: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Instagram: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Twitter: @EveningwaArtistFollow Rich on Instagram: @richmeister84Follow Jordyn on Instagram: @turnipcakeartEmail us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Hello, hello! Today we chat more about the Mario Movie, which had a second trailer drop AND a secret (yet not so secret) snippet was shared at the game awards. Then we get into incoming trailers and the latest released disney film. We discuss how upcoming animated films get fed to us through various media and how things have changed so much. We get a little nostalgic (and start to feel old) as we talk about how being in the know is getting increasingly difficult even though things are more and more accessible. “You stab it and stab it and stab it and stab it”Check out our website: eveningwithanartist.comJoin us on Discord: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Instagram: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Twitter: @EveningwaArtistFollow Rich on Instagram: @richmeister84Follow Jordyn on Instagram: @turnipcakeartEmail us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Hey everyone, today we have so much to talk about! We are starting to hear more about the Avatar: The Last Airbender movie, future Avatarverse projects and who will be animating them! We chat about our hopes for Avatar’s style, and use Klaus vs Arcane as an example. We give you first impressions on the new apple movie “Luck” and get into some new and cool 2D Disney series coming soon. Have you heard of the Emperor’s New Groove scandal? Rich brings up some interesting facts about the birth of the film that I had never heard of before (and which had been buried). Then we get into what we’ve been watching lately, the guilt behind some of it, and hear Jordyn gush over the amazingness that is Stardew Valley!“I saw a heron wading gracefully through the morning mist. Such are the treasures of a quiet life.”Check out our website: eveningwithanartist.comJoin us on Discord: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Instagram: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Twitter: @EveningwaArtistFollow Rich on Instagram: @richmeister84Follow Jordyn on Instagram: @turnipcakeartEmail us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Today we get right into the nitty gritty and we dive into dicey waters. Warner Brothers is being bought out and there is a lot of talk about what this will mean for the future of the company, and what we care most about, the employees and the cartoons. This brings up the discussion of what happens when shows get dropped.In brighter news we talk about Deadendia, Harley Quinn and other cool shows we have been watching lately. We get into the comic to live action show, Riverdale, which inevitably leads to chatting about other remakes and one big question: should adult live action shows change to animated series?Check out our website: eveningwithanartist.comJoin us on Discord: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Instagram: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Twitter: @EveningwaArtistFollow Rich on Instagram: @richmeister84Follow Jordyn on Instagram: @turnipcakeartEmail us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

In part 2 of our spotlight series with Sara Connelly, we discuss what it's like to be an animator and everything that comes with the job. Sara highlights the importance of building resilience and using revisions as a learning tool. With a more in depth look at what animating entails, we learn how much actual drawing still happens and what it's like to keep to the style of a show.

We were so pleased to have Sara Connelly agree to sit down with us. In part 1 of our interview with Sara, she addresses the contrast between attending school and working in a studio. She provides insight on breaking into the industry, hot tips on how to thrive in your position, and strategies for avoiding injuries and strain. Every bit as passionate a mentor as she is an animator, Sara explains why she chose to teach on top of her already full time career.

A rooster wizard, an emo demon prince, a creepy old lady who coughs up butterflies, a little girl fighting Gods in hand to hand combat. If you've ever wondered why any of these things have been missing from your life so far, then you need to check out Mya and the Three. Director/Showrunner Jorge Gutierrez gives us his original tale of a princess warrior on a quest to fulfill an ancient prophecy across different lands steeped in the culture of Mesoamerica. We discuss our thoughts, good or bad, on the animation, characters, and story as well as highlight our favorite scenes. If it is to be, it is up to Jordyn and Rich.Follow us on Instagram: @eveningwithanartistFollow us on Twitter: @EveningwaArtistFollow Rich on Instagram: @richmeister84Follow Jordyn on Instagram: @turnipcakeartCheck out our website: eveningwithanartist.comJoin us on Discord: @eveningwithanartistEmail us: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
