Episode 40: Does It Matter Where You Live? An Interview with Terra Henderson Apr 18, 2018

Show notes

Today's podcast guest is Terra Henderson. Terra is a freelance Motion Designer who has lived in Texas, New York, and Georgia. Despite growing up in a small Texas town, Terra pursued her dream of becoming a Motion Designer by moving away. After completing school at SCAD she took the ultimate professional leap and moved to New York City. Over time Terra has learned valuable lessons in networking, specializing, and the freedom of being freelance.

Terra's laid-back perspective on work and life is a cool reminder that you don't have to live in the biggest cities to be a successful Motion Designer. So, grab some kava and say hello to Austin-based MoGraph artist Terra Henderson.

In today's episode, we talk with Angie Feret, a pioneering MoGraph artist, who uses her hobbies to rejuvenate her 3D work.

Angie's first-hand experience with female discrimination is also a helpful reminder that our industry has a lot of room for improvement. We promise you've never met a 3D artist like Angie.

It's pretty common knowledge at this point that the world of Motion Design education is changing. From online bootcamps to tutorials, the need for brick-and-mortar schools is slowly fading. You can thank this trend, in some part, to today's guest Michael Jones.

The work Michael does at MoGraph Mentor has always been a huge source of inspiration for the team here at School of Motion so we thought it'd be fun to sit down and chat about what it took to create MoGraph mentor.
