I’ve been working in the animation industry for over 10 years. My first job in animation was working at Sierra-Online as an animator on “King’s Quest 7”. While working there I thought I had arrived at my dream job. Ever since my parents brought home our first computer, an 8mhz, CGA Tandy computer from Radio Shack, you could not pull me away from playing all of Sierra-Online’s library of games. Space Quest, Police Quest, King’s Quest, Hero’s Quest, etc. I can’t imagine how many hours I spent playing these games. So the day I walked into Sierra-Online I felt I had arrived, this is what I had dreamed about making these games I loved so much. Seeing the makers of these games in the hallways and working with some of them on Kings Quest 7, to me it was like working for rock stars I was star struck. Just a few years later this exact feeling would rush over me again, the day I started at PIXAR Animation Studios. Pixar at the time had just release Toy Story, and they were starting to staff up the animation department for “A Bugs Life” and at that time the Direct to video release of “Toy Story 2”. These were exciting times at the company it was still relatively small with about 150 people total. I remember walking the halls the first day I arrived and just seeing the “Toy Story” movie posters on the wall created smiles from ear to ear across my face. Just like walking into Sierra-Online, I felt that I had arrived. For years all I ever wanted to do was either work on video games either at Sierra-Online or Lucas Arts, and animate Listerine commercials at PIXAR. Well I never got to animate a Listerine commercial but I have been fortunate to work on some of the most influential and in my opinion best-animated films since the golden years of the Walt Disney Studios.
