Go With Your Palate
E62 Toby Cochran & Adrian Ochoa pt 2 | Joe Wagner
On this episode of Go With Your Palate, we sit down with animation powerhouses Toby Cochran and Adrian Ochoa to dive into their incredible journeys from Pixar classics and Shaq-approved games to their latest Oscar-qualifying short film, Luki & the Lights. We explore everything from their creative beginnings to the heartwarming message of Luki, a film raising awareness about ALS through a joyful robot’s journey. Along the way, we chat about what it’s like pitching to Shaq, navigating work-life balance in creative industries, battling rogue electric scooters, and pulling back the curtain on the animation world.
🎥 Luki & the Lights has already captured audiences worldwide, snagging awards like the Matthew Curtis Audience Award and Best Use of Unreal Engine. Its universal story—told without dialogue—is a testament to the power of animation to connect hearts and inspire action. So grab a glass of wine (or ice cream in Toby’s honor), and join us for a lively, heartfelt, and behind-the-scenes look at the magic of storytelling and animation!
