221: Mychal Simka

TAG Interview with Mychal SymkaFind all TAG Interviews on the TAG website at this linkMychal Simka resides in a somewhat different space than many animation creators.  He rewrites and reconfigures animated features, turning them into different movies ...   Mychal was raised in Anaheim, and his mother worked at Disneyland for a lot of years.  (Mr. Simka went to the park a lot as a kid, and continues to visit regularly.)  With that background, you might expect he would have ended up animating at Disney Feature animation ... or maybe storyboarding.    Nope.  Instead, he became a casting director, and then found his way into animated features as a writer and voice director.  He talks about both those things, plus the world marketplace for lower budget CG features in this TAG pocast.
