This interview was definitely a biggie for me as it gave a glimpse into the life of a Director of animation which was cool for 2 reasons:
a) I never knew what a Director really did for an animated T.V. series & b) That field has always amazed me at the amount of time, precision, and practice it takes not to mention repetition.

It was also great being able to interview Joaquim and to find out the steps that so fatefully gave him his break in the industry.

It was great to see a success story of a incredibly talented man with an even great amount of drive and dedication succeed and be RECOGNIZED by the industry for that success especially in such a competitive industry.

It will definitely be great to watch Joaquim as his career only gets stronger and to see what other great shows he directs and eventually produces.

Check out a couple pics after the jump!
