Interview with Executive Producer Chris Wall

In episode 102 we interview Chris Wall. Chris has been in the animation industry for over 25 years, where he worked at studios like Big Idea Entertainment (VeggieTales) and DreamWorks Animation. In 2016, Chris founded the animation studio, Shining Isle Productions, and serves as Executive Producer and Showrunner of The Wingfeather Saga animated series. Working with industry veterans like Keith Lango & Ron Smith, they were able to raise $12m in capital to get the series off the ground, and have already produced two season of the critically acclaimed books the show is based from. Having been an animator on the show myself (Larry Vasquez) and talking to Chris from a production stand point, this made for a unique and insightful interview. Please listen to the end for a super cool give away!

Student Testimonials

“The reel I submitted is the most recent work I did during my games workshops that I finished in iAnimate last 2021. My older feature workshop shots gave me my first shot in the industry, and I've been working for the past 10 months thanks to everything I've learned through iAnimate.”

Success Stories

“After doing my research it was clear iAnimate was exactly what I needed. With the small class sizes and incredible roster of instructors, there was a ton of opportunity to really pick their brains and get into the weeds of acting theory, character depth, workflow, and execution."

Industry Articles

Where do animators usually work? The stress of a lonely animator is mirrored directly in their work, which can further amplify the stress cycle. None of which is healthy for the industry or the individual. However, it should not happen.
