Student Producer David Seibert
<p>We've had students on the podcast before, and we've had plenty of producers. But a student learning how to be a producer? This is a first for our last episode of 2025! I chat with David Seibert, who is studying production and directing in New York. We talk about his internships (and what he's doing in them), what he's learned so far on what producers do, and what projects he's been working on. In our "Back in Time" segment, we talk about how growing up outside of the US meant he had very different influences as far as cartoons and entertainment goes. We talk about Studio Ghibli films and how AI is trying to steal them. And we ended up have TWO segments of advice. One formal and a bonus one in the beginning. You can follow David on his socials and YouTube channel at @soud10.</p>

Entertainment Attorney Britton Payne
<p>I chat with Entertainment Attorney and Director of The Autism Scene, host of the AuSPEC Awards, Britton Payne. We talk about his history working as "Superman's Lawyer" at DC Comics (including an amazing perk) as well as Warner Brothers and Nickelodeon and how different studios have different approaches to animation lawyers. Plus he talks about how he started The Autism Scene and the AuSPEC Awards as a way to encourage more autistic characters in popular animation, to both boost exposure for those on the autism spectrum and to normalize autism for others. In our "Back in Time" segment, we talk about how he actually started on the creative side, working as a writer/director, before going to law school and merging his two passions. Plus, as always, great advice, this time on how to start a career as an entertainment attorney by standing out and making connections. You can find out more information (and submit for the spec writing contest) at https://theautismscene.org</p>

Director Walter Santucci
<p>In an Inside Animation first, Professor Walter Santucci returns as Director Walter Santucci. He talks about how he has been working on a feature animated film since we last spoke, the process of incorporating traditional animation with puppets and how he found the voice actors for his film as well as the editing process. Our host Adam points out the mistake he made in Not conveying well enough that he is a voice actor. To redeem the fact that last time they didn't do a proper "Back in Time" sequence last time, Adam talks with Director Santucci about how he was inspired by the Beatles and Monty Python when he was younger and mentions how he worked at the same college he was attending. This time in our advice segment, Director Santucci talks about doing everything yourself if you can help it so you can guarantee no one flakes on you. His film, I'd Rather Be Turned into Cat Food, premieres in October, but you can get more information at <a href="https://evilcatland.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">evilcatland.com</a></p>
