No matter what happens, the world can be pretty ridiculous and people be pretty ridiculous, but how would you react? That's an easy filter to put any story through.

I don't necessarily consider myself part of the animation world.

I found a lot of animators bring a lot of baggage to the party, just that there's a certain way of doing things in that world that's a little hard to unlearn.

I'm a slave to the beats of the story, not to the words we use to tell the story.

The nature of the writing and the nature of the animation meant that it had to be short.

If improv gets reckless, you can feel it. A lot of shows try to do that, I find. When improv is done sloppily. It betrays the story. It can slow down the energy of the story you're telling.
