For my interview, I had the pleasure of meeting with Jane Samborski, a film producer and animator who works alongside her partner, Dash Shaw. In all, the conversation went rather well as we talked about her background and beginnings in creating animation. Jane herself was a graduate from Maggie Walker, so it made it a lot easier to connect with her as she shared her high school experiences and how they led to her current job. One of her most recent works is known as "Cryptozoo," an adventure film focused on the mythical creatures known as cryptids. In creating these characters, Jane would first design them, using guash to fill out the solid colors and later upload them into adobe softwares to animate. I found the process rather complex, but felt reassured when I learned that it took Jane multiple years to get used to the programming and an additional few years to start liking it. I believe the most surprising thing about the whole interview was learning that at most, there were only five to six people in total who worked on the whole film. Adding on to the fact that the whole animation was hand drawn, this was extremely impressive to even imagine.
