‘The Sentinel’ Creators Adam Floeck & Nate Swinehart (Part 1) :: DIYA #9

The DIY Animation Show

Since meeting in college, Adam Floeck and Nate Swinehart's creative partnership has gone from strength to strength, leading to the creation of their ambitious CG project, 'The Sentinel'. Created over the course of 4-5 years, outside of their jobs, with a team comprised of friends and strangers, with no budget, these two dreamt big, stayed committed, and saw their project through to completion. Today, in Part 1, Adam & Nate talk about: - 'The Sentinel', from the concept’s inception to its completion as a finished trailer - How the path to being an animator isn't always a straight one (and how that's a good thing) - Nurturing creative partnerships - Deadlines, milestones and self forgiveness - How personal projects can help with feeling fulfilled alongside your day job This episode is an indie production from your hosts, Jessica Doll & Lauren Morse.
