I’m not sure if animated projects are easier or harder, because I’ve never done one. I’m sure they come with their own special problems; more often than not it seems like you hear about animated projects, even shorts, taking years to make! The creators of South Park refuse to work with actors and have exclusively stuck with animated projects, both tv and film, because they don’t enjoy the onset experience. Animated is certainly not a bad way to start. It emphasizes visuals more than anything else, and directors with their beginnings in art or animation tend to be strongest at shot selection and cinematography, with stunning images in their films.

I’m sure it will be easier, but we can ask Taegen about this. I’ll send him an email just after posting this.

I have a friend that wants to be a director. After reading this, I’m glad it’s him and not me. Hehe. He’s starting out with an animated project though. That might be a bit easier than trying to find locations, people, etc…
