This chat is with Matt Haworth, an Art Director and Background Supervisor at Mukpuddy, an animation studio based in Auckland New Zealand. In our chat he’s going to share how difficult it was to build an animation career in New Zealand when there weren't any steady long-term gigs going around. He’s also going to dive into what it was like helping build MukPuddy from a super tight-knit team into a growing studio of over 50 – and what kind of projects led to that growth.
Tune in to Ibele and Haworth to hear:
*The animation day-job Haworth invented for himself when there wasn’t any work
*The crazy coincidence that led to Mukpuddy optioning an exclusive IP from Ireland
*How many of Haworth’s graduating class still work in animation in New Zealand
