Interview with Robert Valley: "Pear Cider & Cigarettes" Indie Animated Film, animating in Photoshop, and the importance of editing and music – RubberOnion Animation Podcast #145

INTERVIEW! This week we talk with illustrator and animator Robert Valley who just released an amazing Indie Animated Film "Pear Cider and Cigarettes" on Vimeo. We discussed the Kickstarter back in episode 109 and in it we said that we'd love to get him on the show... fast forward 6 months TO THE DAY (that episode was released Feb 10th and this is August 10th) and here he is! We talk the impact of music, the importance of editing, animating in photoshop, superhero oversaturation, using Kickstarter, loops, black frames, creaking doors, and coughing into your mouth (it'll make sense).

Be sure to check out Robert Valley around the internet:
