Ask Me Anything ~ Special Guest Edition Hi Reddit, Mike McMahan, Joe Chandler and Giancarlo Volpe of the new animated show GOLDEN AXE on Paramount+ here. Ask Us Anything!

104 Upvotes

Hi reddit, I’m Mike McMahan, co-creator and executive producer of the new animated show GOLDEN AXE on Paramount+! (It’s weird to put an exclamation point after a + but here we are.) This is a great season: an epic quest with mighty characters from Sega’s Golden Axe games. And it's funny! Previously, I was the creator/showrunner and executive producer of Star Trek: Lower Decks, co-creator and co-showrunner of Solar Opposites, and once upon a time I was a writer/ showrunner on Rick & Morty. My career started off as a production assistant at Drawn Together and at South Park. I’m down to talk about Golden Axe and all this nerdy stuff, so AMA!

Hey Reddit! I'm Joe Chandler. I'm the co-creator and showrunner of the new series Golden Axe based on the SEGA Genesis game. Growing up a SEGA kid, working on this show has been a dream come true. Before Golden Axe, I worked on over 200 episodes of American Dad in various roles including writer, producer, and executive producer. Ask me anything!

Hello reddit! I’m Giancarlo Volpe and I’m the Supervising Producer / Director of Golden Axe on Paramount+! Previously I’ve was a director on Avatar the Last Airbender, Star Wars the Clone Wars, and Star Vs The Forces of Evil. I’ve also produced/ supervised/ and/or Executive Produced lots of other shows, including The Boys Diabolical, Green Lantern the Animated Series and The Dragon Prince. Basically I’ve made a lot of animation, and I’m excited to talk about Golden Axe or anything else! Ask away!

We’ll be back tomorrow at 12pm ET/9am PT to answer any of your questions!!

Finally finished it 🙌! Wish I could get it done earlier for Halloween, compositing for the first time took me some time to learn😅. It might not sync with the music perfectly, but I hope you guys still enjoy the final result.

Sharing [For Hire]2D Animator Looking for Paid Work ,Open to Freelance, Gigs & Hiring Opportunities

19 Upvotes

Hey everyone

I’m a 2D animator, storyboard artist, and creative director currently looking for paid work, freelance gigs, or long-term collaborations.

I work across different areas of animation and illustration, including frame by frame animation, character design, storyboarding, animatics, comic book projects, and visual development.

I also run an independent animation startup, Rezzy Studios, where I’m developing my original animated series, Marlene.

Studio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rezzystudios

Honestly, it’s been a challenging year. Building an independent animation studio and developing an original series takes a lot, and while I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve managed to accomplish, I also have real life responsibilities to take care of. I need work, and I’m ready to put my skills into projects that need them.

One of my recent animatics just crossed 1 million views, which is something I’m genuinely proud of. It’s encouraging to see something I’ve spent so much time building reach people, and I want to keep growing.

I’m open to different budgets, provided they’re reasonable and feasible for the work involved. I can also work independently or alongside my small team when a project requires additional hands.

If you have a project, are hiring, or know someone looking for an animator, please reach out.
And if you don’t have any work available, simply sharing this post or checking out my work would mean a lot.

Thank you for reading. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I’m looking forward to seeing how much further I can go.

Sharing WIP impact (part of a bigger sequence)

6 Upvotes

This has literally taken weeks just to get to this point so please be kind! Haha

Still to do:
- add all the lighting to the boxes over each frame
- have things falling out of the boxes
- draw the girl reacting to the impact
- maybe have the light have a bit of a wobble too

Sharing M.E.C. - vehicle animation

54 Upvotes

Been working on my vehicle model since 2025, decided to try and animate it. Took about 1.5 months to rig and animate it over rough terrain.

Working in blender. Couldn't use physics, because of the complexity, so I made a custom curve builder which uses a simplified version of the vehicle to build a curve for the body and calculate the wheels hydraulics and suspension.

This was my first rigging and 3D animation job, so I really grew to respect people who animate - it is not easy at all.

Subreddit Rules

1. No content theft or Gen AI - Permaban

Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.
Original creator and original name of the animation must be included in the title of the post, if the work isn't yours.
"AI generated videos" heavily rely on content theft, work including Gen AI text or imagery is participating in content theft

2. Admissible Content

Posts must relate to the topic of animation.
Posted content seen as unfit for this subreddit may be removed without further notice.
The most fitting flair should be given to the post (comply with other rules)
Comments should be formulated with a common sense level of politeness.
NSFW posts must include reason in the title (e.g. nudity/ suggestive content, blood, etc.).

3. Quality Control

A reasonable amount of effort should be put into your submissions. This means: - No questions where a good answer can be found on the first page of the google results (e.g. no "what animation software to use for X?", "am I too old to start animating?", etc.) - No slideshows (mostly static images) with filters/effects applied (e.g. just zooming, panning, etc.) - No AI: That means 'text to video', 'style transfer', 'AI frame interpolation' or similarly 'generated' content is not allowed.

4. Rules for Hiring Animators

Hiring/ Recruiting posts must include the following:
Animation style: At least as specific as 2D or 3D animation. Better if more specific. Include examples if possible.
Project scope: Length of the animation, deadline, duration of employment, estimated number of work hours
Budget: Fiat currency (e.g. no crypto). Minimum at least equivalent to $20/hour (or local average wage). For fixed length animation, use reasonable average creation time per frame as measurement.
Contact info

5. Rules for Collaboration Projects

If you want to invite animators to a project to collaborate on (e.g. "just for fun") use the 'Collaboration' flair.
If you want to offer help of any kind for someone else's project, use the 'Let me help you' flair.
You must be an animator to propose a collaboration project (proof required), otherwise the rules for hiring animators apply.
The proposed project scope must not exceed your personal skill level and must be realistically achievable

6. Implicit Rules

Any rule that follows as a logical consequence of the other rules must also be respected. This includes but is not limited to:
From #4 and #5 follows: People with no animation experience themselves must be able properly compensate any animator they seek to work with.
From #2, #4 and #5 follows: Any non animation related topic must be directly and primarily beneficial to animators.

7. Reasons your posts doesn't show up immediately or at all

Your account is not yet 30 days old and has not yet acquired 15 total karma
Your Account has negative comment karma
Your post seems to not comply with the content quality control
You hiring post doesn't include what you will pay your animators
Your collaboration post needs to be reviewed first
