The Ink and Paint Folk Podcast
TV & Film
Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!
Hosted by Cassie Soliday
Today's guest is 3D Character Animator, Mylene Santos!
She was pursuing fine art, graduating college with a BFA when the animation industry was hit with a new form of animation: 3D! And the studios needed CG animators, stat! Recently graduated and in need of a job, Mylene entered the studio’s training program and discovered her new passion: bringing characters to life! Following her passion for the craft has led her to work in tv animation, feature, and games from the Philippines to Canada then Los Angeles. She’s animated for projects like Call of Duty, World War Toons, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Curious George 2, Hoodwinked, and more!
