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!

It's the Season 3 premiere of the DIY Animation Show!
...and what better way to kick off this Season with none other than Animation director & Experimentalist, Jocie Juritz!
Professionally, Jocie crafts beautiful 2D animated projects with a gorgeous hand-made look. She specialises in PSAs and documentaries dealing with pertinent topics, interesting factoids, even book trailers, and teaches animation classes in her spare time. In her personal work, you’ll find slice-of-life gifs, featuring her cats, plants, and other joyful things.
We were drawn to her colourful, soulful work, and enjoyed an engaging, thoughtful conversation with her, discussing animation on a fundamental, artistic level. It’s like a soothing balm for the creative soul.
We first spoke to her in 2016, and so enjoyed our conversation
Timeless insights still hold up two years later.
Today, in Part 1 of Jocie’s interview, we discuss:
- Designing movement and emotion with shapes
- Emphasizing narrative over animation principles
- Constructing the optimal gif
- Freely using trial and error as a tool of development
- Her approach to colour
- And the one most vital thing Jocie thinks a DIY Animator needs
