The Diy Animation Show

Hey you! Welcome back to The DIY Animation Show! We’re kicking off Season 5 with DeadEndia creator and showrunner, Hamish Steele! Possibly best currently known for his graphic novel, DeadEndia*, Hamish also has wide experience of developing and pitching animated shows, directing and writing with Blink Industries, has won an Eisner award, AND is a self-confessed zine enthusiast (if you ever get your eyes on his Paul Rudd zine, you won’t regret it!). His work is silly and fun, and infused with warmth and a real heart for human experience. We were super excited to speak with him all about DeadEndia - to discover how his webcomic became an animated series, and what that process was like - and enjoyed an incredibly uplifting and astute conversation, ranging from his broad work experience to his and his friends’ own personal experience of life. Today in Part 01 Hamish shares with us... - All about Deadendia - its roots, its heart, and its 10-year journey from short, to webcomic, to published book, to animate
