Season 2
Magda Kreps
This week's interview is with someone who truly knows how to embody the natural playfulness in the medium of animation: Magda Kreps! I've been a fan of Magda's work for awhile now, and am particularly interested in her character animations and sense of the cartoon body. In this episode, we talk about her sense of character proportions and what it means to break away from traditional anatomy, the struggles of working digitally vs. physically, and so much more. I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as I did getting to speak with Magda, and I definitely recommend checking out her work (@magda_kreps on Instagram) before listening!

Weronika Marianna
Today’s interview is with one of my all time favorite animators: Weronika Marianna. Weronika’s animated worlds are filled with beautiful colors and absolutely incredible painterly textures—I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with her work on Instagram (@weronikamarianna) if you haven’t already before listening. I couldn’t be more excited to share our conversation with you today, and hope you enjoy listening as much as I did getting to speak with her!

Jenna Caravello
In this episode, I sat down with multidisciplinary artist, animator, and game designer Jenna Caravello! In this incredible conversation, we discussed everything from the grey area between video games and the fine art world to the ethics of using other people's tools to create your own work and so much more. With her performance piece, 'lovelike' coming up this Friday (08/18) in Los Angeles, listen to find out what magic you can expect to see if you attend!

Yuval Haker
To kick off season 2, I had such a lovely chat with Yuval Haker: a multidisciplinary animator with a wealth of stories to share about his journey in discovering his artistic voice, finding one's footing in freelance, and so much more. I'm so excited to be back in the swing of things, and couldn't be happier to finally be sharing this episode with you. Find more of Yuval's work on Instagram as @yuvaroo! As a side note, you can expect Boiled Over to regularly appear in your feed every other Monday for the foreseeable future. Exciting things ahead!

Season 1
Ted Wiggin
Wow! It's been a minute since we've seen each other last. Welcome back to Boiled Over, where this week, we're sitting down with one of our favorite experimental animators: Ted Wiggin! Ted has made a handful of films that we feel challenge what animation is and can be in its traditional sense. In addition to producing animated films, Ted works to build unique programs that serve as the tools for creating these films. He truly has an incredible workflow that we couldn't be more excited to share with you in this episode! As a side note, there has been a bit of restructuring to the format of the podcast to keep it as sustainable as possible. We would love to avoid having another year-long gap between interviews, so listen to the intro of this episode to gain some more insight on how Boiled Over is changing and evolving to bring you more of the content that we've missed delivering to you all so, so much! We hope you enjoy this last episode of Season One and continue with the podcast through these changes on its ever-growing journey forward :-) Recorded by Kohana Wilson & Lije Morgan Edited by Lije Morgan Theme music by Point.Reyes Background music by Zack Dresher
