It's a new episode! Finally!

I hope you all enjoy this one. It's been the most time-consuming, challenging episode to make yet, but I'm quite proud of it, and I hope it proves helpful to the people who need it. It is my hope that this video will become THE internet resource for how to pursue this particular career. To make sure I did this episode right, I consulted a LOT of industry professionals, and they contributed a ton of great thoughts and additions to the script. 

This episode will make its public debut at the Animation Exchange on Twitch next Tuesday. I'll be there in person to present the video and answer a few questions afterward. It's going to be a day FULL of fantastic, 100% free animation talks from tons of industry professionals, so be sure to tune in!

This episode will launch on the New Frame Plus channel sometime after that, probably later next week.

Thanks again, everyone!

Excellent! This has solid information in it that I can recognize even though I am not connected at all to animation or game development.
