My career began as animation went from paper to pixels.
New technologies emerged. I became a digital generalist building pipelines, putting out fires and creating content for Warner Bros, Disney, Cartoon Network, Wildbrain and Nickelodeon. It was awesome.
A few years back, I shifted gears to build a 10-acre nature experience with goats, honeybees, and a donkey named Phil.
But I just can’t stop thinking about new puppet rigs, After Effects expressions and the role AI is playing in animation.
Now my worlds are colliding... and it's getting weird.
