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 Social Links: *Check out Mukpuddy’s YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/user/mukpuddy
