Welcome back to Part 02 of our conversation with DeadEndia creator and showrunner - and pitch extraordinaire - Hamish Steele!
Last episode we talked about how the original DeadEndia story drew from some of the real life experiences Hamish and his friends had, and how our own real life experiences are, and can be, reflected in the shows that we watch and create.
Now in Part 02, we’re picking up again as Hamish considers what’s most important about DeadEndia that he really wanted to protect as it became an animated show, as well as:
- Plenty of pitching advice gleaned from Hamish’s years of experience (including a link on diyanimation.show to his pitching webinar, 'How to Pitch Perfectly'!)
- How collaboration can bolster representation and amplify others’ voices
- Hamish’s wonderfully straight-forward answer to ‘guilty’ pleasures
- And his dearest wish for DeadEndia, and how you can help make it happen!

In today’s episode, we dive further into Collin's Part 1 mic-drop - how limitation is the mother of creativity - this time from the lens of fan art and fan creations, as well as talking shop and getting into the nitty-gritty technical aspects of his animations.
Here are some of our favorite points this episode:
- Collin’s thorough break-down of elements for engaging animated action choreography
- The understanding, use, and legality of fanart
- The structural similarities between jokes and fight scenes
- The importance of representation in media
- Technical overlaps between comics and animation
- And Collin’s take on “the one most vital thing an animator needs”
