If there’s one question that every filmmaker asks themselves, it’s “Where do I put the camera?” Today, we consider the things that really matter when answering that question.

A few weeks ago, we were invited onto a livestream to interview Tracy J. Butler & Fable Siegel of Lackadaisy. (https://www.youtube.com/@LackadaisyComic) For those who don’t know, Lackadaisy is an indie comic that became an indie animated series. It’s about a group of cats who run a speakeasy in St. Louis during Prohibition. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and want to share the results. This conversation was put together with the support of Eat Your Peas (https://www.youtube.com/@EatYourPeas_Acc) an animation coaching collective run by Lindsay Knowler. Our conversation with the Lackadaisy team focused on three major topics. The first - a guide through the opening sequence of the pilot, available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vffu6FG4YP4 The second - what it was like for them to run an indie animation studio remotely. And the third - the current state of the animation industry itself. So come join us by the fire and enjoy!
