It has been a LOOOONG haul. It has been a lot of years, a lot of wondering, waiting, and perseverance but the day has finally come that I can announce that I will finally be starting at Disney Animation as a hand drawn animator.
It's a looooong story as well, which perhaps in time I will tell on this blog, but for now, I celebrate! See you at the Producers Show!
Congratulations man !!! All the best over there :-)

ReplyDeleteLou:
ReplyDeleteThanks so much man! We are actually still using paper and pencil thankfully! A MAJOR victory, for now-- I know they seem pretty keen and using them for "the next" one. Whenever that happens. But yeah, if you're ever down here look my office up!

ReplyDeleteCongrats dude! Your willingness to stick with 2d paid off.

Man, I've been watching your blog for years! Your awesome animation clips kept me going through some rough patches in college and continue to inspire me today. It's great to hear that Disney has finally taken you onboard, a brilliant animator. Help show why traditional animation kicks butt!
