Here it finally is!The Rusty Animator Podcast is now live. Not long ago the podcast was just one of the many ideas I had for the website. Ever since I’ve been itching to kick things off. Joseph Holmark made that happen by being our first guest.Joseph is a awesome animator (who would never admit so) that recently wrapped up on Rio 2 at Blue Sky Studios. He’s been on the fast track chasing down dreams – as a really young guy that was a student only a few years ago.Actually, together we graduated Animation Mentor class #23 and got our first animation jobs together in Singapore at One Animation. Today Joseph’s aiming for Disney and knowing him – its only a matter of time.There’s more than a few things you can learn from him -so without further delay – hit play!Listen on itunes, download or just stream below: If you enjoyed the show and you found it helpful –Please leave a review on iTunesI will read ALL the feedback – it will keep this alive.Show NotesHighlights from the show.* 03:30 – Hindsight on your art* 04:00 – How Animation came into Josephs life* 10:20  – Most difficult thing to learn* 15:12 –  The ideal mindset of Experimentation* 19:00  – Demotivation vs Staying Hungry* 24:36 – Current Student Problems* 32:30 – Transitioning from School to First Job* 36:00 – Surprising yourself* 36:30 – OnAnimation to Blue Sky Story* 40:00 – Courageously adjusting to Rio 2* 49:46 – 2 Hr Anim Challenge* 51:37 – Using the challenge to develop your story telling faster* 53:30 – Animation Quicksand – Polishing a Turd* 54:39 – Workflow and Shot Progression* 1:01:20 – Full Circle back to MotivationLinks from the Episode * Josephs Site and Demo Reel: Holmark Animation* Animation Challenge: 2 Hr Animation Challenge* On Animation Blog: On Animation & the Artist Ability GraphWhat would you like covered in the next episode?
