• Animator, Character Designer, Modelbuilder

  Will Vinton Productions

  June 1987 - April 1991

  Started with the Vinton Studio (now Laika Entertainment) at the age of 18. An unorganized shop that was an excellent place to learn. As an animator, one needed to have a working knowledge of camera and lighting setup, armature building, sculpting, illustration, editing, and track reading. Projects that I worked on inlcuded "A Claymation Christmas Special", "Meet the Raisins", "Michael Jackson's Moonwalker" and commercials for Tang, Nabisco, Post Raisin Bran, and many, many others. I talked to Michael Jackson on the phone once.
