Animated Podcasts And Talking Head Videos
Sometimes, having an animated or illustrated version of you or someone presenting ideas is more catchy than your standard or talking head video.
It’s a change of pace, it’s unique, and it also can be a way to add more emotion and humor to your video storytelling. We’ve enjoyed creating a few videos in this style because we like to bring more life and character where we can.
Content such as laid-back podcast conversations lend themselves perfectly to playful illustration and animation.
Tactical Tangents Podcast - Micromanaging
Tactical Tangents is a podcast between Mike Doyle, a Police Officer from Arizona and K9 handler and Jim a military pilot and Air Force Academy graduate.
Mike came to Navatta Studios looking to create an animation that gave life to their home studio, their characters, and to create a setting to tell stories in interview format.
This video was a blast to create, as it involved turning 2 guys into animated characters, Mike’s K9 into a character. Mike encouraged a good balance of straightforward storytelling and adding humorous elements where it fit. He also wanted the animation to be a form of more simple, ‘stop-motion’ style animation.

Bill Frist Interview With SnapShot Interactive
This video is a blend of live-interview footage and black-and-white 2D animation. Bill First (a former U.S. senator and MD)is interviewed and answers some low-key questions about his work and what it’s like living in Tennessee.
This animation project was something that Nick really enjoyed as he was tasked with brining some levity and playfulness to an arena (politics) that usually doesn’t have much of that!
He worked to make the interviewee more relatable by using everyday imagery that showed the human, caring element of a local politician.
