Episode 59
Greetings, Explorers! This episode takes a look at I Moved to Los Angeles to Work in Animation. Natalie Nourigat wrote and illustrated the story and BOOM! Studios published it.
First, Natlie Nourigat’s book serves as both an autobiography and a how-to book. Next, Nourigat gives many helpful tips to anyone that wants to start a career any just about any creative field. One tip is the application process for getting an apartment in cities where housing is in short supply. Finally, I Moved to Los Angeles to Work in Animation guides readers through the ups and downs of the author leaving her comfortable life to follow her dream as an animator.
Dennis, Johnny, and Frankie begin the episode by debating if this should have been a Buzzfeed article. Continuing, Frankie and Johnny share their experiences of applying for jobs in the creative fields to what the experiences are like in the book.
Other topics include the differences between writing fiction and copy writing, the difficulties of working in the creative realm, and who, exactly, this book is for. Thanks for listening!
