In this episode of “Masters of the Craft,” Brian is joined by Jenn Ely, a freelance illustrator and production designer known for her work on “The Boxtrolls,” “The Shivering Truth,” and upcoming Netflix films “Wendell and Wild” and “Pinocchio.” Jenn shares why she believes in risking rejection to acquire knowledge—and chats with Brian about the state of gender and racial inclusion in the industry.

Find &amp; Follow us on all the socials: WacomXPDXFor Episode 3 of ‘Why We Create’,  we're joined by Portland artist, Jenn Ely, to discuss all things illustration, visual development and the emotional currency of films. As you browse through Jenn’s portfolio you’ll see that she is truly a master of her craft. Even our amazing discord community was curious if her grasp and understanding of color was science or witchcraft (jokes of course, although we cannot confirm nor deny Jenn’s magical abilities, her skills and color mastery are the direct result of her inherent talent, experience and education). In this conversation Jenn shared with us just what it means to be a visual development artist. What it’s like to work collaboratively on a team, and what it was like to discover the correlation between art and storytelling. Jenn’s worked on projects ranging from commercials to feature films to children’s books (link to her upcoming book, “The Gardner of Alcatraz”). Make sure to follow her on IG and check out her website/portfolio for inspiration. We Hope you enjoy this episode. WEBSITE: http://www.jennely.com/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/elyjenna/

Why We Create, Sn2.Ep.3: Color Science or Witchcraft, the art of Visual Development with Jenn Ely

This month, Sarah Marino (Color Supervisor at Nickelodeon), Jenn Ely (Production Designer for House Special, Visual Development Artist for Dreamworks) and I are teaching a new online workshop called First Flight: How To Create Your New Career In Visual Development. I invited them both to join me here on The ArtCast to promote First Flight and talk about how they achieved such significant success in their animation careers… Episode Highlights include:  Turning fear into faith. Becoming more professional by de-emotionalizing your creative process. Why we stopped caring about job titles. How fear cost Jenn a a big opportunity (and why she’ll never make that mistake again). Why Sarah had to climb through a human hamster wheel. (That’s not a metaphor.) Inspiring gumball machines and the healing power of ice cream. Is a successful animation career worth the cost?
