My background

I think it is time to re-examine my background. I had the great opportunity to work in Los Angeles as a Visual Effects Artist/Digital Compositor for over 7+ years. I worked primarily in broadcast television, with one movie credit to my name (something I am very proud of). My current interests have moved more into the animation side of things (particularly traditional), to upgrade my skills. My knowledge gained from my time in LA (VFX, commercial acting, editing) is priceless. Here is my demo-reel from that time:



My current position as a college instructor/professor at the Southwest University of Visual Arts has also taught me some valauble skills. I have learned even more about film making, editing, pre- and post production, and I  have taken a couple of animation classes this last year to study the 12 principles of animation! Here is a sample of basic skills:



Being an college instructor is a lot like being an art or creative director. You manage people, assist them in learning new skills, and give them opportunities to grow and learn.

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to The Jackalope Den. This is my blog to talk about my favorite subjects: Animation, Animation History, and Visual Effects. This is also a place where I am able to display my artwork and the artwork of friends. Being an instructor of an Art College grants me access to great information and a vast array of inspiration!
