DreamWorks is back with another dose of action packed non stop animated fun and we're back with director Pierre Perifel to talk all things Bad Guys 2. With only 3 short years between releases, this chat dives into everything from concept to scope to rhythm and pacing to lensing and more!

We hope you enjoy this one. If you didn't hear my conversation with Pierre after the first Bad Guys, go check it out as we diver more into his backstory in that one.

Enjoy!

On a recent trip to Kidscreen I had the opportunity to sit down and discuss distribution with Alison Taylor from Aardman and Ed Galton from Cake. With our industry undergoing so much change, I wanted to hear what it was like on the distribution side of the business, and how these two companies, with very different beginnings and operations were navigating the change.

I also added some thoughts on the conference in general and the vibe I got while on the trip.

Enjoy!

This episode is a must-listen for anyone developing an original series and wondering how they'll get it off the ground. A combination of passion, perseverance, and a great partnership of the right people made the special sauce to get Stan & Gran into production. Based on an idea Jon Mason had a whopping 12 years ago, perseverance looms large here. His partnership with Natalie Llewellyn was pivotal as you'll hear in this conversation.
This is the third in a sporadic series looking at the anatomy of a project and rounds out the trio looking at an original series.
I hope you find it as informative as I did. Super interesting.

Enjoy!
