Creative Control did this dope series called “Seoul Sessions” where they follow Illustrator LeSean Thomas through South Korea and talk about and cover the creative process to getting animations done. I came across episode #5 and had to check out the rest of the series. What LeSean is doing do gain knowledge on the entire animation process is admirable to say the least. He took a big leap of faith to move from L.A. to Seoul Korea and basically start from scratch and learn the culture, language and everything else to get by in Korea to get a better understanding of the animation process. I’m looking forward to see what he does next 4sho! Below is the official description for episode 5 “Putting It Together”
The final installment of Creative Control TV’s video diary series ” SEOUL SESSIONS,” following Animation Producer/ Director/ Illustrator LeSean Thomas (Black Dynamite: The Animated Series/ The Boondocks) through the streets of Seoul, South Korea as well as it’s top animation studios. LeSean invites you on a tour through top animation studio, MOI ANIMATION (Young Justice, The Boondocks, Avatar The Last Airbender, WB DTVS and more) as he gives a collective run down of the stages of his personal project along with some sneak peaks of the final process. Thanks for following us on this journey and hope it was fun for you all watching it as it sure was fun for us making it! See you soon!
