Voices from the Eyrie – 38 – The Cage

We are joined by Series Co-Creator, Greg Weisman, and Production Assistant, Dave Witting, to discuss the daily life of making an animated series. Working with the timing directors, making sure the correct model sheets are sent overseas (and what happens when the wrong model sheets are sent), and other behind the scenes stories. We also discuss the episode, itself. The Maza Family dynamic. Lies by omission. The decision to make Claw a mute. More of Xanatos’s gaslighting. This conversation is quite opulent.
