Scotland Barnes is one of the hardest working people in the animation industry today. In part one of our interview he talks about graduating from undergrad and grad school during economic downturns, working at various survival jobs, and finding as many courses and books inside and outside of school as he could in order to improve his storytelling chops. Find out why it’s important to study all facets of art, how discovering your style of learning can help you level up and how teaching others can help you solidify your understanding of the field of animation!
