That New Show Smell

By the looks of this month’s all-staff meeting, Team Frederator is growing faster than a Chia Pet. And that’s the way we like it around here. There are 28 of us in this picture, but given that a few creators reside in Japan, and some folks couldn’t make the meeting, I’d say our numbers are climbing near 40 right now.

Wow. This was a busy week at the Burbank office (which is probably why I’m posting this on Saturday morning!) We took lots of pitches, greenlit shows, recorded “Call Me Bessie!”, came together for an all-staff meeting, celebrated a birthday (Fred turned 35!), got up and running on Deviant Art, and had an excellent Oh Yeah! Extravaganza panel discussion/pitch night Q&A with our friends from Women in Animation. Thanks to show creators Diane Kredensor, Dana Galin, Andrew Dickman, Kyle Carrozza, Aliki Theofilopoulos, and Adam Henry, as well as Fred Seibert, Larry Huber, and Eric Homan for really making the WIA event a hit with your insightful comments and fabulous work. Because of you, Women in Animation had a record turnout for Storyboard Pitch Night.

Here’s a pic of Aliki with The Double D’s getting ready to show some of their work! Fred is deep in thought in the background.

Everyone crowded around at the WIA Q&A to see how we do it here at Frederator.

To coin Eric Homan’s favorite phrase, “This week was genius”
