If anyone asks me, I always say, go to the cheapest school you can find that has the best instructors.

It's not about the name brand, even though like if someone says, oh, I went to SBA, you're like, oh, cool.

Like, you know that brand, but it, I don't know, it doesn't really matter it really matter you know as long as you have a good

portfolio and no I don't to do. I don't get that many opportunities to talk to people who are still working in the motion design field there like directors in the space

But I was a little I was a little confused. I know you're in a Los Angeles, but then you have all these things about New York.

Yeah. So are you in LA now or are you in New York? I'm in LA yeah. I've been here for

five years. Okay. I grew up on Long Island and I was in New York until five years ago, basically.

Okay, all right, very interesting.

Okay, so for people who don't know you, Daniel, can you introduce yourself and give us a little bit of your

backstory? Yeah my name is Daniel Savage, designer, animator, director, artist, whatever you want to call it.

I've been working professionally for about 15 years, I guess,

and went to school for music, ended up switching to graphic design and then I found motion design through that.

Then I worked in Comedy Central, it was my first job out of school school that kind of kicked things off.

Went into the motion design field for a while.

Got a little bored of that, went into interactive and like more like a experience type stuff got bored of that

went into more film animation and then illustration doing some more editorial stuff and then now I'm kind of

taking everything and mixing it all together and that's where I'm now and yeah been

mostly independent for my whole career.

Okay, that's cool.

So I'm going to go back and ask you a few questions, if you don't mind.

In regards to your job at Comedy Central,

what did you do and how did you get that gig?
