A Coffee Table book.

Tuesday, October 25, 2005

Let's get something straight right off the bat: I never wanted to be an animator.

I went to film school to make Sci-Fi movies. I also went to music school to write movie soundtracks. My fondest wish was to blow spaceships up on screen. Lots of them. I even got a gig drawing storyboards for a feature film (Heaven is a Playground). I was on my way up; after all, everyone knows that storyboards are the stepping stone to Special Effects. But somewhere things took an unexpected turn... I was offered a summer job as an animator at Encyclopedia Britannica. It seemed more fun than finishing my fifth year of college, so I took it. That was 1989.

Well, many, many years later I still find myself in the animation business. And after three years of animating dinosaurs, five years of making cereal commercials, four years of directing Warner Bros. TV CRAP, and two years of running my own studio into the ground you'd think I would just walk away from animation and make my damned space movie already.

No. I took another animation job ... with other artists who also have blogs and frustrated dreams. See those links over on the top right side of the page. ----->

Yeah, that's them. Check them out. Pages and pages of wonderful stuff.

Me? I still wanna blow up spaceships on film. I have a plan. This blog will chronicle my attempts!

Do you hear me, God??

I'M GONNA BLOW UP SPACESHIPS, AND YOU CAN'T STOP M..e..... (dies)
