Animation and VFX Guy
<p>I've worked as a professional computer animator since 1994. While at Buena Vista Visual Effects at Walt Disney Studios, I created VFX for numerous feature films. While at PDI/DreamWorks, I served as a senior animator on <em>Antz</em> and <em>Shrek</em>. Along the way, I directed a series of independent, animated short films that went on to play 200+ film festivals, museums, and art galleries worldwide. My work has been featured at such venues as Sundance, Slamdance, SXSW, the Ottawa International Animation Festival, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Smithsonian Institution. As a world-renowned expert in the VFX field, I've written high-end software books that have sold 25,000 copies, taught at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood, am a member of VES (Visual Effects Society), and am the executive director of the Dam Short Film Festival.</p>
