In this second episode, I go Behind the Ink with Bertil Toby Svanekiaer, a leading animator and 3D generalist in Ghana. We talk a bit about him and his studios, Indigene B.R.O.S. and OOTO Studios and his project, Chaskele. I also pick his brains on the state of animation in Ghana and how he feels about Africa being the spotlight territory for Annecy 2020. Bertil also reveals which popular Ghanaian stories he'd love to see animated. Hint, it involves red and stilettos. This episode also features our crowing rooster, back for a remix with some extra birds.
