Starting this Saturday from 12-3 pm PST and every Saturday after that, I will be streaming live on the Adobe Twitch channel and animating nonsense using Adobe Animate. This week we’ll continue animating a scene with a robot ninja I roughed out last week called Tinja… Yahhh! Join me if you can! That’s 12-3 PST this Saturday only on:

For anyone interested I will be doing the streamy thing again on Twitch tomorrow morning from 11am to 1pm PST where I will continue where I left off last week.
If you’re just joining us I will be finishing up drawing and animating the short scene I started last week using Adobe Animate CC 2015.2
So far…
Two bored teens are sitting on a park bench complaining that nothing cool ever happens to them. Meanwhile an elephant comes and sits on the bench next to them catapulting them into the air and making them swap places. This time there will even be lip syncing involved! Oooooo!

What is your name and your current occupation?
JOHN HARDMAN, Director of Development and Production, Saban Brands LLC.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I was a maintenance man for a function hall.  I spent every afternoon cleaning cigarette butts out of urinals and mopping up wedding guests’ vomit.  I worked in a car wash for one summer and had numerous close calls whenever I had to park a car with a stick shift.  I also have the typical Hollywood story of working for a producer who threw the telephone across the room at me when she got mad.  Worst of all, she got mad a lot.
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
So many…. Rugrats, Rocket Power, Jackie Chan Adventures, Xiaolin Showdown, Mr. Men, Power Rangers.
How did you become interested in animation? 

I’ve been a huge fan of animation since I was a kid (no surprise!).  What I found most exciting was Continue reading

My name is Chris McCullough; currently I’m working with Rasam Concept as a free lance character designer.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
 I’ve worked at a photo booth at Six Flags California. There’s nothing quite like watching everyone around you having fun.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
So far, the game I’ve been working on at Rasam has been my favorite because it’s allowed me an element of freedom I haven’t had before. But my previous job with 5th Street Games was great too, because that was the first time I was able to use my talents at drawing.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I’m from Los Angeles, lived in California all my life. I knew in high school that I wanted to be an artist but it wasn’t until I got to college and realized that I couldn’t Continue reading

What is your name and your current occupation? 
 My name’s Aminder Dhaliwal and I’m a storyboard revisionist at Nickelodeon .
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I wish I could say I did something crazy like ‘My first job was digging graves’ or something, but I’d be lying. I’m lucky enough to have skipped working retail, while everyone around me was working at the mall in highschool I got into painting and designing murals, I’ve never even had the chance to checkout half the murals I designed, I had the chance to hand paint two of my creations. I hope they’re still around 🙂 or at the very least i hope the graffiti over them is funny!

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
My first job at Nickelodeon was on Robot and Monster – which was awesome, the crew was amazing and so supportive! Working on Fairly Odd Parents has been surreal, considering I used to watch it back when it first premiered! I’m also really proud to have interned in Beijing as an undergraduate on some commercials for the AniWow festival – that was an amazing experience.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business? 
I was born and raised in England, at 12 years old my family packed up and moved to Canada where I finished highschool and went to Sheridan College. After graduating from Sheridan I was lucky enough to Continue reading
