With nearly six combined decades of animation experience, including directing, writing, designing, acting, producing, suffering, under-paid work, sound-design, musical scoring, festival going, cel-painter's elbow, digital fatigue, and teaching in and around and all over the international and local animation industry, college, and fine-arts world, Frenzer and Foreman deliver their unique know-how to you each week through in-depth interviews with world animation leaders, technical animation advice, surprise "radio games", and personal tales of tragedy and triumph.

Special Guests:  Ron Diamond & Dan Sarto, The Animation Room, Uncle Billy Frenzer

 

Few FFAF episodes have challenged the potent potential of what a jam-packed powder-keg of animation multilarities can elicit in the burgeoning minds of those seeking more lore and eternal wisdom of this frame-by-frame La Bamba than number 24.  This show is huge.  Ron Diamond + Dan Sarto = how to invent and maintain an international animation archive and animation short distribution empire while enjoying the best of Scotch and olive canning.  The Animation Room + The Animation Room = how to create an animation studio boyband right out of college.  And finally, Billy + Bill + William Frenzer = how to develop treasured American comedy songs into animated music videos that change the course of human history.  Perfection, sometimes, does not take time.
