What is your name and current occupation?
My name is Tyree Dillihay and I’m an assistant director on season 2 of Bob’s Burgers. I have two series coming out that I worked on as a Director premiering on Fox and MTV the same week.  Good Vibes premieres on MTV, Thursday October 27th after the return of BEAVIS & BUTTHEAD and Allen Gregory, which was created by Jonah Hill premieres on FOX October 30th at 8:30.  I directed two episodes on each of these shows.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
Fortunately, I’ve only had 2 9-5s before getting into animation and they weren’t bad at all. My first one was doing customer service for a skin care company. My second job, which was my reason for leaving the skin care company, was helping my mother start and run what became our family business of setting up facilities that service developmentally disabled people.

 

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
My favorites so far have been the projects where I was given creative autonomy. And ironically, those were not only fulfilling for me, but were huge successes for those that hired me. Projects like “Read A Book” and “Disrespectoids” were very fun projects to work on. “Disrespectoids” is probably my favorite because myself and a writer, Dan Clark, scripted out the cartoons the OLD way…VISUALLY. We literally sat in a room and had jam sessions with 10 characters to play with and just played “What if…?” for about 2 weeks on a dry erase board before animation started.
How did you become interested in animation?
Early in life I wanted to become an illustrator but I couldn’t afford to go to Art Center. Nor was I willing to incur that debt. And I didn’t feel you could Continue reading

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation? 
I wish I had some stories about odd jobs, but honestly I really don’t. Besides, animation is crazy enough as it is…
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? 
My first professional gig is also the one of which I’ve been most proud. Years ago I worked as a concept and story artist on the feature film “9” directed by Shane Acker. I was incredibly green, but I learned so much working closely with Shane as his assistant during the development stage of the feature, and then Continue reading

How did you become interested in animation?

What is your name and your current occupation?
This is Nassos Vakalis and right now I’m a story artist at DreamWorks animation studios.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation? 
I had very little working experience before starting at animation so I can say animation is the craziest job I ever had, or to be more specific some of the projects I worked on were just a bit too crazy!
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? 
From the 2d animation era I loved working on Spirit for DreamWorks. I did storyboards and some animation. The same time I worked on Joseph King of dreams for DreamWorks again. I boarded pretty much most of the film and animated a few scenes. It was lots of fun, I had to travel a lot to Canada to see work done in a few studios that were subcontracting part of the movie. From the 3d films I think Bee Movie and Puss in Boots are few of my favorite films I have worked on.
How did you become interested in animation? 
Since I was a small kid I loved watching cartoons so eventually I thought of Continue reading

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? 
While working at Stone Mountain Productions as the Art Director I was very proud of the laser modules we created that were shown in Dorney Park, Cedar Point, and the State Fair of Texas, as well as Stone Mountain Park in Georgia.  In 2009, my first foray into the Independent Film Festival circuit, “Loser Pays, Winner Stays “, came in second in its division in the DRAGON*CON Independent Film Festival.

 

How did you become interested in animation? 
I have always loved cartoons and comics. Growing up there was an unwritten rule in the house, if there was anything animated during primetime, I had control of the set. My Saturday mornings were filled with Continue reading
