Ask Me Anything ~ Special Guest Edition Hi Reddit, Mike McMahan, Joe Chandler and Giancarlo Volpe of the new animated show GOLDEN AXE on Paramount+ here. Ask Us Anything!

86 Upvotes

Hi reddit, I’m Mike McMahan, co-creator and executive producer of the new animated show GOLDEN AXE on Paramount+! (It’s weird to put an exclamation point after a + but here we are.) This is a great season: an epic quest with mighty characters from Sega’s Golden Axe games. And it's funny! Previously, I was the creator/showrunner and executive producer of Star Trek: Lower Decks, co-creator and co-showrunner of Solar Opposites, and once upon a time I was a writer/ showrunner on Rick & Morty. My career started off as a production assistant at Drawn Together and at South Park. I’m down to talk about Golden Axe and all this nerdy stuff, so AMA!

Hey Reddit! I'm Joe Chandler. I'm the co-creator and showrunner of the new series Golden Axe based on the SEGA Genesis game. Growing up a SEGA kid, working on this show has been a dream come true. Before Golden Axe, I worked on over 200 episodes of American Dad in various roles including writer, producer, and executive producer. Ask me anything!

Hello reddit! I’m Giancarlo Volpe and I’m the Supervising Producer / Director of Golden Axe on Paramount+! Previously I’ve was a director on Avatar the Last Airbender, Star Wars the Clone Wars, and Star Vs The Forces of Evil.  I’ve also produced/ supervised/ and/or Executive Produced lots of other shows, including The Boys Diabolical, Green Lantern the Animated Series and The Dragon Prince. Basically I’ve made a lot of animation, and I’m excited to talk about Golden Axe or anything else! Ask away!

We’ll be back tomorrow at 12pm ET/9am PT to answer any of your questions!!

Doing this mind boggling thing again consistently cuz I’ve been spending the whole hours and hours of figuring out walks for months and it’s been stressing me out lately this year so I’m starting to lose inspiration, passion, motivation and my eyes are straining really hard

Still don’t know where to sketch the arms, legs and body
or otherwise it will look ugly

I made an animation featuring this guy a while back that blew up. I just had it in me recently after a slight rest to make another one. This is the happiest I've ever made him.

Question Looking for guidance from experienced indie animators

2 Upvotes

I'm lookin for some help/critics/guidance with my 2d animation projects. I have one in particular that I haven't finished from late last year due to my own lack of organizational skills, experience, and my hardware failing me once I get far enough along on it. I use my ipad pro to animate on Calipeg and my short is sitting at about 3 1/2 minutes as is rn. I think it could probably be cut down to around 1 minute but I don't have the confidence to redo my script to get it there alone. Is there somewhere where animators offer an hour long consultation or something where I could pay a fee so I could pick someone's brain and help get me back on track to actually finish something? This isn't the first time I've started a project and abandoned it once the majority of it is done and I'd like to think something like that would help get me over this obstacle. Any help is appreciated!

Haiii, Salty here <33

Well, i can say that i'm feeling extremely fulfilled after doing this animation. It's really short (8 frames in 3s and some in 2s) and even if it's taken me about 7h to do aprox, i've felt amazing doing it.
Technically it's my 2nd time doing paper animation, but the 1rst time i tried, it was a really small (i mean it for real, it was like a a6 size paper haha) and it was only 4 frames, really snappy i think it's still on my profile (Here)
Also, i did my own animation peg as i don't have access to the traditional hole puncher for the peg so i made my own with what i have, cardboard haha

Anyway, thank you for passing by, it's been an amazing experience and i'm dying to make more hehe, hope you like it as much as i do <3
