Mary Blair is hired to work in Walt Disney’s gigantic and rigorously maintained garden. As he welcomes her and invites her to get to work, she starts producing plants magically. Although he is amazed, Walt cannot refrain from correcting and toning down Mary’s work behind her back…

What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Hector Lopez and I’m a character animator/game developer.

 

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I did quite a few jobs in my days before getting into animation. The craziest I would have to say when I worked for a food distribution company. My job was a material handler working inside a freezer stacking pallets with frozen meats. We walked in there looking like Eskimos since the temperature inside was 0 degrees. I worked there for several months while I was in school. After a couple months I got used to it. Being inside a room at 0 degrees doesn’t bother me anymore. Unfortunately, since I was in school full time I could not keep up working there since it was a graveyard shift. School came first.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I’ve worked with several animation studios on loads of projects. The projects I had most fun on was doing flash animation on “Cheech & Chong Animated Music Video”, facial animation on “Red Dead Redemption” and “GTA IV Ballad of Gay Tony” for xbox 360 and PS3. I always enjoyed playing games like Grand Theft Auto and all Rockstar games for that matter.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I was born and raised in Los Angeles. After finishing up my studies in animation I started Continue reading

I worked a couple of times as a supporting actor/extra in a short film by Solveig Nordlund  and for a Portuguese tv series. I enjoyed very much to do that because I could see how the filming production works.

What are some of your favourite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I’m only 23, so I don’t have a lot of professional projects to be proud of… I guess ..so far I’m proud of everything!!!  I’m very proud of having worked on the Animated TV Series called Nutri Ventures which having been sold to 19 different countries, so far. But I’m also proud of have been working on the 2 newest Frontier’s games!

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I’m from Portugal and I always loved to draw. Because my parents always encouraged me and support my passion I was able to study fine arts in one of the most well known universities in my country. I learn a lot about art, on how to have a critical thinking and being original and open minded. In addition, Continue reading

“10 Things No Animator Wants to Hear”

  By

animcolor_largeRenderDigimania has a good article about the “10 Things No Animator Wants to Hear”

“I don’t have any concept art or storyboards yet, but a story outline will do, right?”
No, it won’t. You wouldn’t ask a voice actor to do the gig without a script, so why ask somebody whose job it is to bring the images to life to do so without any bloody reference materials? We will just end up blindly firing out ideas, only to watch each one shot down, as we slowly and painfully try to find out what the hell you were actually looking for in the first place. Animators can do many things, but mind-reading isn’t one of them.
