Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!

Hosted by Cassie Soliday.

Today’s guest is storyboard supervisor and director, Karine Charlebois.

Karine has been drawing since she could hold a crayon and her favorite subjects were the cartoons on TV. She originally started working in animation in 1996 doing storyboard cleanup and revisions, moving up to storyboard artist, and today she’s a supervisor and director and has worked on 40 different properties and counting. In this episode, she’ll share her incredible journey with us, what it’s like to work in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, how she fell into teaching storyboarding, and how she deals with burn out to rekindle her artistic passion.
