Ep. 089: Your Animated Life Part 4 – Freelancing with Todd Favela

By Angela Entzminger March 26, 2019 March 26, 2019 2D Animation, 2D Animator, animation, Animation Interview, Animator, Character Design, Danger & Eggs, Nickelodeon, Nickelodeon Animation Studio, Puny

Freelancing – the mythos surrounding the word is palpable. Make your own hours! Charge your own rates! Work in your PJs! But is it the promised land that many of us think it is? In today’s episode character and prop designer and returning guest Todd Favela shares his insights into the world of freelancing. We discuss taxes, health insurance, getting enough sleep, managing client expectations, how to NOT be a hermit, contracts and more. Join us and prepare yourself for your next freelance gig.

And a note on the audio – it rained in LA (hooray! no more drought!) so those dulcet tones you hear (aka slight static) is the rain falling outside during the recording. But you can hear everyone’s voices loud and clear. Enjoy!
