Directing 101

Step inside the director’s chair with Megan Ferguson as she walks you through how a real animated episode gets made from pre‑production to final post. In this live workshop, she’ll share her experience directing episodes of the animated series Hilda, highlighting the importance of planning, leadership, problem‑solving, and collaboration across departments. You’ll see how story, design, boards, animation, and post all connect—and hear honest lessons learned along the way. The goal is for you to leave not just informed about the process, but feeling like directing is something you can do too.
