Bancroft Brothers Podcast- Making your own Animated short - with Nathan Engelhardt and Jeremy Spears There are a flood of amazing animated short films out and coming your way so Tony and Tom are sitting with a few creators to discuss their films pre-Oscar buzz! For this episode, the Bancrofts interview Disney animation supervisor Nathan Engelhardt and Disney Storyboard artist Jeremy Spears, the two creators/directors of the CG animated short film "Forevergreen". This short was created by themselves and a small team of dedicated artists, all on their "off hours" from their jobs at Disney and elsewhere. No big studio funding, just lots and lots of sweat and love poured into a film that has an amazing style and story. Don't miss this episode!
