I have no formal animation schooling! How would you describe Far-Fetched, for our viewers who may not have seen the teaser trailer for your pilot?Īshley: We sometimes joke that Far-Fetched is just Scooby Doo meets Resident Evil. In sharing this path into the industry I’ve just revealed my greatest, darkest secret. Those two projects were incredibly cool, but my heart does truly lie with online, indie animated content. Since then, I have mainly worked on online projects, mixed in with some industry work for a DreamWorksTV show called Too Loud, and some work on Animaniacs as a cleanup artist. I wasn’t looking for anything fancy, just people who were like, “Hey, I need an animator!” I scurried and cobbled together a little reel and responded to those people, saying, “please hire me!” To be honest, I had no idea what I was doing, but a couple people were foolish enough to hire me, which got me through the initial gate! So I transitioned to sharing fan animations for Steven Universe on YouTube.Įventually I started looking around on Twitter for animation jobs. But I wanted to get into animation, and I figured that working on fanart that I was passionate about was the best way to learn how to animate. I started on DeviantArt drawing Danny Phantom fan art. What was your career path into animation?Īshley: I am a huge internet child.
