76: Amanda Turnage, "Star Trek: Lower Decks" Background Artist

I have a passion for animation that might rival my love of Star Trek, so it's exciting when I get a chance to have these two worlds collide! In today's episode, we chat with Amanda Turnage, a background artist from "Star Trek: Lower Decks," who has done some very interesting pieces of work for the series, including interiors and exteriors of starships, the Las Vegas of the Beta Quadrant in Qualor, and the highly beloved Cetacean Ops aboard the USS Cerritos. We learn about Amanda's history in art & animation and hear about some of her other jobs and the things she learned along the way before discussing the workflow on "Lower Decks" and getting a deeper understanding of how this particular job works and the fun Trek things she gets to do as part of it!
