Behind The Pixel: Closing The Animation Communication Gap

Welcome to the SLAE episodes. These are podcasts we recorded at The Salt Lake Animation Expo in March of 2024. We interviewed Expo Speakers and others who were involved with the expo. A special thanks to Jordyn Curly for allowing us to do this.

In this episode we chat with Chaz Walgamott, the owner of Digital Gravy in Salt Lake City, Utah. We chat about how the Animation Expo got started, what clients should think about when getting to the digital door, and how students starting their animation journey should think about smaller studio's hiring needs.
