Audible Animation
It can be difficult to talk about visual art-forms on an audible medium, but Zac Dixon knocks it out of the park.
I'm so glad this podcast finally exists! Way to go, Zac!
Excellent!
Really enjoyed the first episode. Looking forward to other insights from people in the motion design world.
Loving it
I'm only two episodes in and am finding a ton of value and inspiration in hearing these stories. Thank you and please keep it up.
