ABSTRACT
A: I started out going to school for film in 1995. When I walked into the SGI lab and saw the animation and media students working I knew I needed to change majors. I was hooked! Like many, when I was younger watching amaking-of StarWars and reading articles on Glen Keane working on animation at Disney mixed with my love of art growing up, I had always wanted to do something in animation. Unfortunately, I grew up on ranches far from any source of really learning about animation so I thought I had to be able to draw final frames . . . and I kind of just put the thought of ever doing it to the side. In high school, I learned more but, with lack of internet resources that exist now, I still didn’t see how to make that happen so I focused on film and technical theater production-learning lighting, sound design, staging, and set construction. I really enjoyed that so that was where I started my journey.
