For this episode, we have opened the archives and returned to a great discussion we had with Kevin Parry, stop-motion animation, visual magician, and FX wizard.

In this episode, Kevin chats about making stop-motion animation go viral, the power of behind the scenes content, and why he likes to think of his audience as a 'network' of collaborators rather than 'followers' and 'subscribers'.
