Anime News Network posted their interview with FUNimation’s own Clarine Harp today.  It’s a nice piece of behind-the-scenes education.  Check it out below.

“In order to learn about the thought process behind producing a DVD, and deciding what content goes on it, we talked with Funimation’s DVD producer, Clarine Harp and tried to figure out why DVDs don’t cost a dollar. If her name sounds familiar, it’s because she does voice work as well, with popular roles including Hibari Ginza from Speed Grapher, Kaede Nagase from Negima!, and Sei from Burst Angel.”

Follow to the link for the full interview.

I learned a lot.

But I’m surprised that nobody gave her a “pet name” based on the character she voiced. Like, “QC Ninja” or something to that effect.

Very interesting and informative read!

I didn’t know that making extras requires a budget, but it does make sense when you think about it.

I wondered what producing a DVD entailed. The producer has to work with so many departments in order to provide us with the best product they can. It seems like it’s usually a thankless job, so I just want to say thanks for all your amazing work!
