What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is George Pfromm and I am a freelance animator and illustrator, and a full time faculty member in the animation department at the New England Institute of Art.

 

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
Working the front desk at a walk in clinic for homeless schizophrenics and crack addicts in Seattle was a nutty one. I enjoyed almost every minute of that one truthfully.

 

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
Hands down, storyboard artist at Flying Rhinoceros Inc. in Portland Oregon in 1999 –2000. It was my first full time animation job and I have not worked with the level of talent like that since. I got a few glimmers of how special it was and how good everyone in the animation department was but I had no idea how rare that perfect storm of talent can be.

 

How did you become interested in animation?
I blame it all on Jonny Quest, the Herculoids, and Alex Toth in general I guess. I watched cartoons every morning on Saturdays as a kid in the seventies, and used comic books to give me through the long week until Continue reading

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation? 
I’m not sure if this is crazy but it was fun.  I was a candy cook at a candy store in Savannah.  I made salt water taffy, Pralines and caramel apples.  MMMMMMMMM!
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? 
There are so many.  I’ve worked on a comic book series called “Animus”  where I was a character designer at Neo Gate Creations.  I’ve also worked on the re-release of “Titanic 3d” as a Rotokey animator for Dzignlight Studios.  Recently and the most fun project was helping develop the game “Stra-Tactics” for Grunt Corps.  My team and I were in charge of the animated cut scenes.  We had a lot of fun working on it and even got to play the beta version of the game.    The game is set for release in December.
How did you become interested in animation? 
I’m a big fan of Loony Toons, Tom and Jerry, Droopy etc.  I was 6yrs old and my mother would watch them with me and Continue reading

What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Wei-Chuan Hsu (people call me Wei, pronounced “way”). My current occupation is a freelance animator / generalist.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I worked as a receptionist at the president’s office at my College and I would play WarCraft III at the desk.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?It’s almost impossible for me to work on a project I’m not excited about. So if you see me working on a project, most likely I’m at least 90% excited about it. Some of my favorites are TRON: Legacy, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (TV), FXGURU and Mythic Journey Documentary.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I am originally from Taiwan. When I was 8, my family and I moved to Malaysia. I went to a British high school there and that’s where I learned Continue reading
