I have been a lighting technical director/compositor since 2002, so I have a depth of experience in regards to animated film industry. I have been privileged to have worked on some really cool projects: Robots, Horton Hears a Who!, Ice Age:The Meltdown, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, etc. Recently, I just finished a 6 year stint at Dreamworks and am open to new freelance. Thank you!
