477- How to Improvise Your Way to a Plan, With Michael Dante DiMartino

When working on a project, do you carefully plot or fly by the seat of your pants?

How do you switch gears between different projects or even different mediums?

This episode is a conversation with Michael Dante DiMartino, the writer, producer and co-creator of the animated series ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ and ‘Legend of Korra’. We discuss flipping genres, working on a variety of projects at a once, and finding the balance between dreaming big and getting the job done.
