'95-2001: Protozoa/Dotcomix (San Francisco):
While at Protozoa I created, wrote, directed and animated many groundbreaking
projects for both TV and the web. I also gained a wealth of experience with motion
capture technology and it's application in the world of animation.
'91-'94: Colossal Pictures (San Francisco):
I was involved with the groundbreaking application of motion capture for the
creation of Moxy - the world's first full body, real-time, cartoon character.
As a member of the CG group I was also involved with several other performance
animation projects in addition to supporting traditional CG work.
'88-'90: Celeris Inc (Chatworth, LA):
I did Computer Graphics for a variety of technical applications
(e.g. weather displays, aircraft instrumentation) while going to CalArts. When
nobody was using the equipment I was permitted to use it for my films. There wasn't
much software, at the time, for the equipment that I was using and so I had to write
much of it myself. I've written my own software for creating (and rendering) Particle
Systems, Plants, Fractals, Camera Keyframing, Color Table Manipulation, Physical Simulations, etc...
'84-'88: Librascope (Glendale, LA):
Developed computer graphics for a full scale working prototype of a submarine
display console.
Other Misc Items:
Worked as technical support for the Peter Gabriel "Steam" Video.
Made extra cash on weekends by cleaning up locker room in high school.
