Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!
Hosted by Cassie Soliday
This week is all about Dino Ranch!
Starting with today’s guest: production coordinator, Andrea Serralde!
Amazingly, Andrea saw Dino Ranch at its earliest development stages. Interested at the first mention of dinosaurs, she later found herself working on the show as a production coordinator! In this interview, we discuss how she became an accent coach to Miguel’s voice actor, how she stays organized and on top of her responsibilities, along with her best kept Google productivity secrets, and how she determines priorities when everything is a priority.

Hosted by Cassie Soliday
Today’s guest is post-production supervisor, Meghan Caporali!
After seeing How to Train Your Dragon, Meghan knew she wanted to work in Animation. But how would she get there? When there’s so much that you can’t control when looking for work, the one thing you can control is what you do- how you choose to prepare for what you want. Meghan shares what she’s learned through the winding road of internships, post-college classes, gigs in live action, and the moment she finally broke into animation. And you best believe, the learning doesn’t end there.

Hosted by Cassie Soliday
Today’s guests is May Grehan, Writer and Director of the film, "Zombie Bro"!
May is an actor turned writer and director, who saved up her own money to produce her debut indie feature film, Zombie Bro. She shares how she found mentorship, how she figured out how to make a film along the way with the help of like-minded and passionate people, and she gives us tons of behind the scene details that went into the making of her indie film, "Zombie Bro."
"Francine is a normal ten-year-old girl living with a not-so-normal family. Teddie, her older brother, is a zombie. When Francine catches her brother, biting someone, she doesn’t know what to do. But when people all around Francine start turning into zombies, desperate times call for desperate measures, and the family tries to stop the apocalypse armed with her father’s impressive blowgun collection and not-so-impressive policeman’s expertise, they must work together to save the town!"
Zombie Bro available on digital now!

Alexis Deprey, production designer designer and art director from Threadwood
Cami Kwan, creative producer from Apartment D
Casey Follen, assistant director and production manager from Catalyst Castle
All from boutique animation studios prolific in their work and driven by their love of animation!
When the pandemic shut down most of the entertainment industry back in March 2020, this group of stop motion creatives found themselves stuck at home in quarantine and decided to band together to create Animation Wild Card- a light-hearted collection of animated short-shorts curated into episodes and streamed online which you can view on their YouTube channel.
The animated shorts range in styles and flair. They’re all very unique and will be a welcome joy in your day!

Today’s guest is storyboard artist, Keely Propp!
With a handful of animated features under her belt like “The Addams Family,” “The Willoughbys,” Guillermo del Toro’s brutalist fable-take on “Pinocchio,” and others, Keely is a storyboarding machine! But just because she’s talented and prolific, doesn’t mean she doesn’t have to work through rough drawing days like the rest of us. She shares how she gets jobs, keeps them, and how you can, too. She’s always looking to improve her working habits and greatly believes in the power of mentorship.
