Sometimes during the holidays we can get too distracted by decorations and presents. It takes a good friend’s absence to remind Mr. Woop Man what really matters. Woop woop.

Ron Yavnieli

  By


What is your name and your current occupation?
Name: Ron Yavnieli. Occupation: Animator at Bento Box. I’m also a Voice Actor and Stand-Up Comedian.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
When I was a teenager I worked for a birthday clown company as a character performer. I usually dressed up as Batman but once they sent me out as Barney the Dinosaur. The Barney costume didn’t fit me. I’m 6’2″ and the feet of the costume only came down to my shins. So I was walking around the mall that day with my feet sticking out. People kept saying to me “Nice Sandals Barney” or “You look like Barney on Crack!” At one point a group of mentally challenged adults came up and hugged me, then they tried to pull my mask off but their caretaker called them off before they could. I never did that character again.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
Currently my favorite project is “The Sketchy Comedy Show” which I produce and perform in with several other multi- talented Comedians at Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank. It’s a show that blends stand-up comedy with Sketches: both the drawn and the performed variety, and music. We have a roster of great Comedians who all Continue reading

Awesome Inc & Bluetube Create New Adult Swim ID “Evolving Thoughts”

“Evolving Thoughts” is a new Adult Swim ID sprung forth from the imaginations of Awesome Inc and featuring music and sound by Bluetube. The first in a series of three IDs by Awesome and Bluetube, the project is the result of the network’s ongoing call to creativity – one that encourages companies to artfully visualize the Adult Swim identity. “Evolving Thoughts” features morphing objects in a stream of consciousness dreamscape. Watch it here:

eo.com/148538196Awesome Inc and Bluetube have helped shape the sights and sounds of many of Adult SwimÂ’s iconic and beloved pop culture offerings from Aqua Teen Hunger Force to Too Many Cooks. With a deep knowledge of Adult Swim and the giddy delight of kids in a candy store, they seized the opportunity to run wild and create these short branded moments.

The ID project involved the entire studio at Awesome Inc with everyone – from artists to producers – contributing to the development of a concept collection from which Adult Swim could choose. The selected finalists were then brought to vivid life by AwesomeÂ’s design and animation team. Music and sound are integral supporting characters in the surreal vignettes. BluetubeÂ’s Michael Kohler embraced the challenge of realizing the unexpected to enhance these unfolding mini narratives. With few restrictions, Kohler had creative liberty to play with style and convention, in order to produce original tracks that reflected each mood and genre.

The Adult Swim ID Project launched in 2012 with the goal to cut through typical TV clutter to create short pieces of content to give even more life to Adult Swim on-air. The network reached out to some of their favorite animators, artists and directors with the directive: make something fun. Since then the network has aired everything from live action kung-fu shorts, to pixel art, to stop motion, and more.

What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Richard Epcar and I am an actor / director.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I think doing animation is pretty crazy-especially if I’m voicing the Joker. I’ve been lucky-I pretty much became an actor and have been supporting myself doing that for many, many years.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
For me that’s covering a wide terrain. To start with-I’m happy to have been in the original Robotech-playing Ben Dixon, Lunk and Grel and now Capt Vince Grant in Shadow Chronicles and co-directing that. I’m very proud to have adapted and directed into English many Academy Award winning films such as Cinema Paradiso, Belle Epoque, Eat, Drink, Man, Woman-and many, many more and many adapting and directing many animated projects including Space Dogs 3D and Capt Schnauzer, Lupin the Third, Noein, Fighting Spirit to name a few. I’m proud to have done the voice of the Joker and Raiden in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe and Raiden again in Mortal Kombat. I’m very proud to be part of Continue reading

What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Olatokunbo Betiku, but most people call me “Ola.” I am the Co Founder of Outside The Box Vision, where I do a bit of everything. I am also the Creative Director at No Limit Forever.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I used to teach elementary art classes. Kids are great to work with but they get bored easily. The job always seemed to be more about dealing with rowdy behavior and less with teaching art. I did enjoy it most of the time and it also gave me plenty of practice for dealing with other professional artist in the future. Most of whom can be children at times.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
For the last few years our company along with Urban Born have been going to schools and promoting literacy and health to young students. I really liked taking our characters to schools and putting on shows for kids. I think it is important to do a bit of volunteer work and promote things like literacy and good health.

How did you become interested in animation?
Since the age of 8, I have been reading books and learning about the animation and entertainment industry. I used to watch a lot of Disney shorts and cartoons on TV as kid. I remember seeing Continue reading
