46. The Inventor - With Jim Capobianco, Pierre-Luc Granjon and Kat Alioshin
For this episode, we're breaking down The Inventor with an 'Anatomy of an Indie Stop Motion Film'.
We first had Jim Capobianco on the show almost two years ago! In that chat, he talked about the stop motion feature project he'd embarked upon. With the Inventor releasing in theatres on Friday, September 15th, we thought doing a deep dive and breaking down how it made it to screen would be a great idea. To do so we were joined by Jim, the film's writer and director (Jim was also Oscar-nominated as co-writer of Ratatouille), Co-Director Pierre-Luc Granjon, and Line Producer Kat Alioshin.
When looking at how a low-budget film came to be, Kat's role as Line Producer was key. And since Jim came from the 2D and CG world, Co-Director Pierre-Luc, with a wealth of experience in stop motion, was also key.
All three joined me to walk through the project, which itself is a charming depiction of not only Leonardo Davinci's latter years but also captures the spirit of creativity and curiosity of a man who gave the world so much.
Really hope you enjoy the podcast - but also the film! Go see it!
