My name is Chris Houghton and I am a Storyboard Revisionist at Nickelodeon.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I’ve been lucky enough to always have a decent job. Even as a kid, I enjoyed my jobs: cutting lawns, babysitting, farm work. In High School I worked at a small gym for a couple of years but it was a cake job that allowed me to draw most of the time.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? 
I’m most proud of the comic book series my brother Shane and I have created called Reed Gunther. It’s published by Image Comics but before that we self-published the series. We’ve poured our heart and soul into the comic over the past few years. Every small success the comic has gained, we’ve felt 10 times over.

How did you become interested in animation? 
I’ve always enjoyed animation but I became interested in animation as a career when I was Continue reading

Boom Cookie. I am an illustrator, currently designing for animation.

 

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation
One of my first jobs was for a local movie theater that only had two screens (I watched Disney’s Tarzan and Notting Hill about a dozen times)… and UPS on the night shift packing trucks. That was only fun because I worked with my girl friend, and we’d have farting contests to see who would have to evacuate the truck first. Once in college I held a job as an office clerk at a rental agency. And the worst was when I tried telemarketing for home security systems. I had to quit when I found out the call lists were for the parents of newborns… and I didn’t want to know how they got that info.  All that before I realized – OH, I can make money from my art work!!

 

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I sure enjoyed working on “Robot and Monster” for Nickelodeon. The crew was amazing, the style was fun, and the writing was awesome. ‘Twas a good fit.

 

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I grew up in Massachusetts (USA). I always loved animation, so it made sense to pursue the business when I dedicated myself to art. At 21 I moved to San Francisco to go to art school, and I really loved my classes. I met with the head of the animation department every semester to get her advice on what classes to take, and in my last year Continue reading

What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Ray Leong and I’m currently a digital inker/clean up artist on Fairly Odd Parents at Nickelodeon Animation Studio.

 

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I used to work in a library for a medical school that was also a research facility. The one window I had in my office faced the loading dock where a delivery service would drop off animals for testing. I assume they all knew their fates, because they would scream bloody murder and would want to get out of their cages. It was very depressing. It’s a good thing I had responsibilities in other buildings, so I would just work elsewhere. I did see prisoners in orange jumpsuits and chains being brought in as well. Not sure if they were being used for testing too, but I didn’t feel sorry for them. 😉

 

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
My initial run on Fairly Odd Parents was one of my favorite projects. I had only worked as small studios and it was first job at a larger facility. There were tons of new people to meet, I got to utilize my skills on Adobe Illustrator for the first time on an animation production (I don’t think many places were using it back then) and the show itself was a funny show. I’m glad to be back working on the show again. Actually, I’m just glad to be working period.

 

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. I studied art in college and the animation industry seemed like a good fit at the time. People get paid to Continue reading
