What is a Retake?

Welcome to Retakes Podcast!

We (Dani and Leah) are two deep-thinking and always-striving freelancers working in the UK animation industry. We talk about retakes, and how we can apply them to our careers!

This is our first episode and we introduce ourselves to you, talk about our careers so far, the importance of taking breaks and what we hope this podcast will become!

One of the topics we touch upon is mentoring, and the many schemes available to animators right now. These include She Drew That and Screenskills! Both are free and VERY BRILLIANT!
