ANIMATING ACROSS THE RANGE


Yep. Like the ol’ cowhands who moved the herds, I like helping other animators get their projects moving, and keep ‘em moving.


I’ve worked in all sorts of styles, techniques and production situations—and I enjoy adapting to someone else’s way of doing things. It’s always a challenge, a learning experience, and a lot of fun. It’s also a welcome change of pace from my own projects.


Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with some pretty amazing artists on some pretty wonderful films.


Here are some the films I’ve had a hand in.
