Welcome to Animation Success Stories, also know as the ASS podcast, where Bryan, Anthony, Sabrina and Nick chit chat with the coolest people in the animation world. We dive into their stories and hear about the challenges they had to overcome to get to where they are today. We also get a sneak peek of some cool behind the scenes info on the projects they've worked on and get to talk about their biggest influences in the industry. (Logo design by Nigel Dillge)
