What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Paul Scarlata and I’m currently a storyboard revisionist working on Regular Show at Cartoon Network.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
In high school I worked at a hobby/computer game software shop and in college I worked at a music/comic book store in Boston called Newbury Comics.  So nothing too crazy, but perfect for a young nerd like myself, priming me for my future career.  I was fortunate in that the first job I got after college was an animation job, on King of the Hill as a character designer.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I’ve been part of some great shows, and am proud and honored to have had the opportunity to be a part of them.  I worked on King of the Hill for over 7 years, which was also my first job in animation, doing character design, then character layout, and finally storyboards.  I was at Family Guy for the better part of a year before moving to American Dad, which I worked on for about three years.  I had fun and learned a lot on those shows, having worked with some really cool and amazingly talented people, but I must say I’m most proud to be involved with Continue reading

Freelance Flash Artist / Animator.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I was a simultaneously a corporate mascot and an actuary.  I mean, I didn’t sit at a desk in the mascot gear while crunching numbers, but I would periodically leave the desk, don the apparel, entertain people with my corporate mascot-y antics, then take off the costume and go back to the desk.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
How did you become interested in animation? I’ve been a cartoon nut ever since I was a little kid.  When I was young I wanted to make video games as well.  It’s pretty much been in my blood since I was little.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I grew up in Memphis, TN, and though I wanted to do fun things as a kid, eventually Continue reading

What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Isaias Crow, I currently work for myself, I am a visual storyteller using a diversity of mediums.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
Working at a telemarketing company. It was crazy because you needed to get into character as if you are going to act in a play or film. I created so many characters to sell the services we offered over the phone, the character of choice depended on who I was speaking to on the other line. Now you know, when a telemarketer or bill collector calls you, just remember, they need act in order for you to budge into paying, so don’t take it personal. 🙂
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
After finishing art school, I realized how many people can’t afford to pay such expensive tuition fees so I gathered some of my closest friends and associates and created Continue reading

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I worked for an Air force Research Lab as a photography assistant. I got to take pictures of jets and copters used for radio research. Funny thing is that I got the job by putting “coke dealer” on my resume , because I managed a soda machine in college. That made me stand out from the rest.

The work I have done for USC Sea Grant. I really like working with Continue reading
